    How the Vredestein Wintrac performs. It takes the win in wet, dry, ice, noise / comfort. Its overall Tire Lab Score is 89/100, based on 7 tests.

    What this means for you. Category wins matter more than the overall score when your driving is weighted toward one condition — a wet-climate commuter should follow the wet braking column, while a high-mileage driver should follow wear and rolling resistance. Also check that both tires are actually offered in your size and load rating: performance can shift between sizes, and availability differs between the European and North American markets.

    Verdict

    The BFGoodrich gForce Winter 2 is the stronger all-round choice, leading in snow and Tire Lab Score. The Vredestein Wintrac still wins on wet, making it the right pick if that matters most to you.
