Vredestein tire company introduced its Comtrac 2 Winter+ and Comtrac 2 all-season into the tire market. The duo was introduced as upgrade to the company’s popular Comtrac 2 Winter and Comtrac 2 All Season brands. The new models feature improved technologies thus reinforcing their predecessors’ achievements in terms of performance and suitability.
The new Vredestein Comtrac 2+ versions are set to significantly raise the bar for winter and all-season tires in the delivery van and light truck segment.
They are suitable for passenger cars, delivery vans, pick-ups and light trucks alike.
Vredestein comtrac 2 a/s+ and comtrac 2 winter+ suitably dwells on the already acclaimed universal acceptance of their predecessors in terms of wet surfaces and snow performance.
They come with a relatively high density of metallic cord in the steel belts which make the tread even stiffer thus providing superior stability with heavy loads and excellent control when cornering.
The two models are introduced in 13 (the winter+ version) and 14 (the all-season+ version) sizes but yet to be available in stock. Also, the tires are not yet supported with any manufacturer tread life warranty for now.
