The Vredestein Comtrac All Season is the optimal alternative for motorists and entrepreneurs who want to use a single type of tyre for both the summer and winter seasons. This delivery van tyre is characterised by comfortable driving performance, excellent handling and stable road holding. The balanced tread compound combines a high degree of wear resistance, and hence a long lifespan, with excellent grip on wet roads. The carefully designed sipe structure ensures grip and traction on snowy or icy surfaces. The robust V-shaped profile of the Comtrac All Season is made up of rows of tread blocks splaying out to the left and right in staggered arcs. As a result, the noise level is minimal.
The European Union has introduced the EU Tyre Label by Regulation (No. 1222/2009) identically and bindingly for all EU member states. It applies to passenger car tyres, light commercial vehicle tyres and heavy commercial vehicle tyres produced after 01.07.2012.
Three different areas are tested: rolling resistance, wet grip and the rolling noise the tyre makes on the road.
The following are not affected by the EU Tyre Label: retreaded tyres, professional off-road tyres, racing tyres, tyres with additional devices to improve traction such as spiked tyres, T-type emergency tyres, special tyres for fitting to vehicles first registered before 1 October 1990, tyres with a maximum authorised speed of 80 km/h, tyres for rims with a nominal diameter of 254 mm or less or 635 mm or more.
With this regulation, the European Union is pursuing the goal of promoting economic and ecological efficiency in road traffic as well as increasing road safety on the one hand, and on the other hand, granting consumers more product transparency and at the same time serving as an active decision-making aid.
Already during the incorporation, experts criticise the fact that the EU Tyre Label unfortunately only shows a few product characteristics. Apart from rolling resistance, wet grip and rolling noise, which are the main focus of EU tyre labelling, tyres have much more important and safety-relevant product characteristics, such as aquaplaning properties, driving stability, service life, braking properties on dry and wet roads, behaviour in wintry conditions, etc.
Tyre manufacturers point out that test results from various institutions and journals remain an important information medium for the end consumer. These tests usually focus on further safety-relevant product characteristics besides the EU standard qualifications for tyre labelling, which are always important for the final customer.

25.10.2019fromkevin doyle very happy with the safety and comfort using these tyres. Recommend them %100
13.08.2014fromMichael Hollington Very good so far a little bit noisy noticed mainly when cornering. Not tried in snow we didn't get any, but very good in muddy conditions/wet grass.
