New Vredestein all-season tyre aims to deliver performance-focused innovations

Set to launch this summer, Apollo Tyres has said its new Vredestein Quatrac Pro 2 ultra-high-performance (UHP) all-season tyre will feature next generation tread compound technology and a highly innovative structure to “deliver an unrivalled combination of year-round safety, performance and efficiency across dry, wet and winter conditions”.

According to Apollo Tyres, the Quatrac Pro 2 represents a significant step forward for the Vredestein brand, which has been a leader in the all-season segment since its inception in the early 1990s.

The new tyre has been designed and developed by Apollo Tyres at its global R&D centre in the Netherlands and will be manufactured at the company’s production plant in Hungary.

Rather than evolving an existing tyre design, Apollo Tyres said its engineers adopted “an entirely clean-sheet approach”, rethinking tread design, materials and structure to address the inherent compromises traditionally associated with ultra-high-performance all-season tyres.

The Vredestein Quatrac Pro 2 will be available in a range of fitments from 17- to 24-inch, and will also be offered in section width of up to 355mm.
