Vredestein launches all-season classic car tyre

Apollo Tyres has launched the Vredestein Quatrac Classic, a premium all-season tyre that combines timeless looks with modern structure and materials for superior standards of year-round grip and traction. 

Available from the second quarter of this year, the new tyre will initially be available in two of the sizes most often found on ‘winter season’ classic cars used year-round.

The low weight, low noise Quatrac Classic, which has been developed by the company’s global R&D team in the Netherlands, incorporates a directional tread pattern with ‘evacuation slots’ to resist aquaplaning. The advanced, full-silica tread compound delivers assured roadholding in all conditions including ice and snow — certified by the ‘Three-Peak Mountain Snowflake’ mark embossed on the sidewall.

The 185/70 R15 89 V size option is ideal for popular classics such as the Triumph TR4/5, Volkswagen Beetle, pre-1990 Porsche 911 and Volvo Amazon. The narrower 125 R15 68 S is ideal for Citroën models including the Méhari, Dyane and 2CV.
