Designed for off-road vehicles, this tire ensures maximum safety on snow and ice, while also providing exceptional road grip and steering precision on snow-free and cold surfaces. These are the conditions most commonly encountered during winter drives.
Advanced Technology for Superior Safety
Equipped with the innovative Internal Sipe Locking Technology (ISLT), the Wintrac Xtreme S minimizes the deformation of the sipes, resulting in outstanding tracking stability and enhanced steering precision. This technology guarantees the highest level of safety even at high speeds, making it an ideal choice for drivers who demand both performance and security.
Design Excellence and Versatility
Developed in collaboration with the renowned design house Giugiaro, the Wintrac Xtreme S features a striking tread and sidewall design that complements its sporty performance. Available in various sizes with speed ratings up to Y, this tire is suitable for the fastest and most exclusive vehicles on the market, including SUVs.
Key Features and Benefits
- **Innovative Sipe Technology**: Straight sipes provide optimal traction and short braking distances on snow and ice, while zigzag sipes offer exceptional road grip during cornering.
- **Outstanding Grip and Precision**: Ensures excellent road holding and steering accuracy under all conditions.
- **Superior Water Evacuation**: Two particularly wide longitudinal grooves ensure excellent water drainage, reducing the risk of hydroplaning.
- **Low Noise Levels**: Designed to minimize noise for a quieter ride.
- **Sporty Design**: The impressive, clear form gives a sporty look, suitable for speeds of up to 300 km/h.

Choose the Vredestein Wintrac Xtreme S for a winter tire that combines cutting-edge technology with elegant design, ensuring a safe and comfortable drive in any winter condition.
Vredestein Wintrac Xtreme S
Vredestein’s Ultra High Performance winter tyre, the Wintrac xtreme S, was developed to stand up to the extreme weather conditions in the coldest season of the year. Maximum safety on snow and ice are as important as grip and steering precision for the Wintrac xtreme S, especially on the cold snow-free surfaces on which people drive the majority of the time.
Thanks to its Internal Sipe Locking Technology (ISLT), the Wintrac xtreme S takes the characteristics of a top-class winter tyre to a whole new level. The technology minimises deformation of the sipes in the tread, resulting in excellent course stability, greater steering precision and an enhanced sense of safety at higher speeds. There are many sizes available with the Y speed index and - combined with the great looks that come from a Giugiaro-designed tyre - this makes the Wintrac xtreme S suitable for the highest performance and most exclusive cars.

The Tire Labeling Ordinance specifies the information requirements on fuel efficiency, wet grip and external rolling noise from tires. In addition, reference is made to the winter properties of the product.
The EU 1222/2009 regulation that has been in force since November 1st, 2012 has been revised and will be replaced by regulation EU 2020/740 from May 1st, 2021; From this point on, new requirements apply. The rating classes for fuel efficiency, wet grip and exterior noise have been changed and the layout of the EU label has been adjusted. The manufacturer's product data sheets stored in the EU database can be downloaded via a QR code integrated into the label. Information on snow grip and ice grip is also newly included for tires that meet these criteria.
The following tires are exempt from the regulation: - tires that are designed exclusively for installation on vehicles that were first registered before October 1, 1990 - retreaded tires (until a corresponding extension of EU VO 2020/740 has taken place) - professional off - Road tires - Racing tires - Tires with additional devices to improve traction, eg studded tires - T-type emergency tires - Tires with a permissible speed below 80 km/h - Tires for rims with a nominal diameter ≤ 254 mm or ≥ 635 mm
The criteria and evaluation classes at a glance
fuel efficiency
The fuel consumption depends on the rolling resistance of the tyres, the vehicle itself, the driving conditions and the driving style of the driver. The measured rolling resistance (rolling resistance coefficient) of the tire is divided into classes A (highest efficiency) to E (lowest efficiency).
If a vehicle is completely equipped with class A tires, a consumption reduction of up to 7.5%* is possible compared to class E tyres. In the case of commercial vehicles, it can even be higher. (Source: European Commission Impact Assessment * when measured according to the test methods set out in Regulation (EU) 2020/740)
Please note: Fuel consumption depends to a large extent on your own driving style and can be significantly reduced by driving in an environmentally friendly manner. Tire pressure should be checked regularly to improve fuel efficiency.
wet grip
Wet grip is divided into classes A (shortest braking distance) - E (longest braking distance).
If a car is equipped with class A tires, compared to class E tires, a braking distance of up to 18 m can be reduced when braking from 80 km/h (on a road surface with average grip).* *Source: wdk Economic Association of the German Rubber Industry eV
Please note: Traffic safety depends to a large extent on your own driving style. The stopping distances must always be observed. Tire pressure should be checked regularly to improve wet grip.
External rolling noise
The noise emitted by a tire affects the overall volume of the vehicle and affects not only your own driving comfort, but also the noise pollution of the environment. In the EU tire label, the external rolling noise is divided into 3 classes from A (lowest rolling noise) - C (highest rolling noise), measured in decibels (dB) and compared with the European noise emission limit values for external tire rolling noise.
A The pictogram with the classification "A" indicates that the tire's external rolling noise is more than 3 dB below the EU limit value in force until 2016. B The "B" classification means that the tyre's external rolling noise is up to 3 dB below or equal to the EU limit value in force until 2016. C The classification "C" indicates that the specified limit value is exceeded.
