Vredestein Hi-Trac Test Successes
Vredestein Hi-Trac tyres bested those of its
international competitors – including those manufactured
by Goodyear, Continental, Pirelli and Bridgestone in
independent tests which compared braking distances,
overall speed & handling and resistance to aquaplaning
on wet roads. The tyre took first place on average in 10
tests.
The Vredestein Hi-Trac tyres beat Goodyear HydraGrip,
Continental ContPremiumContact 2, Pirelli P7,
Bridgestone Euranza ER300, Nokian NRHi, Michelin Energy,
Dunlop SP Sport 01 and other brands in independent tests
conducted by Sweden's Aftonbladet–Bil and
AutomotorSport, by Norway’s VG and Motor, by Finland’s
Tekniikan Maailma and by Russia’s automotive newspaper
Avtoreview.
As reported in Avtoreview’s March issue, the braking
distance on wet asphalt by a car fitted with Vredestein
Hi-Trac tyres traveling at a speed of 80 km/h was
considerably shorter than any other brand. The
impressive results are attributed to Hi-Trac’s High
Silica Solution IV composition.
“The shorter the braking distance, the safer the tyre,”
said Marc Luyten, Director Corporate Marketing and Sales
of Vredestein Banden B.V. the Amtel-Vredestein European
subsidiary which manufactures Vredestein Hi-Trac tyres.
“Knowing that most car accidents happen on wet road
surfaces, this makes the Vredestein Hi-Trac among the
safest high performance tyres on the market today.” |
