Vredestein classic tyres: all the character of then with the comfort and technology of now

·    Complete range of classic tyres for summer and winter
·    Classic appearance with the comfort and technologies of today

Classic rallies and events have gained increasing popularity over recent years. Historic rallies like the Mille Miglia are as much of a concept as ever they were, while even here, organisers of events like the Concours d'Elegance can congratulate themselves on attracting huge crowds of enthusiasts. Vredestein has built up a peerless reputation as a manufacturer of tyres for classic cars, thanks to its range of classic tyres that combine the classical appearance of the past with the comfort and technologies of the present.

The name Vredestein as a manufacturer of classic tyres and the exciting world of classic cars have by now become inextricable. This is due mainly to the excellent characteristics of the classic series, but also because of the fact that Vredestein is involved as a regular partner in a number of celebrated classic events.
Examples to which Vredestein has made its contribution include among others the iconic Concours d'Elégance Paleis het Loo in Apeldoorn and the Winter Trial, in which nearly all participants drive on Vredestein tyres.

Vredestein classic tyres: high-tech with a classic look
Under its classic series, Vredestein offers a wide range of tyres in which the characteristic classic look and the old-timer associations are interwoven with modern technologies and equally up to the minute rubber compounds. Where appearance is concerned the characteristic contours and profiling of the classic footprint have been maintained, while under the skin of these classic tyres the most advanced technologies available in the world today serve to ensure optimal, comfortable and safe driving characteristics that fit in with the standards and requirements of our own time. The series is supplied in speed indexes for top speeds of up to 240 kilometres an hour and it consists of three variants: the stylish Sprint Classic, the durable Sprint+ and the Snow+ winter tyre.

Extended range of sizes
The Sprint Classic is the most popular and recognisable tyre model within Vredestein's Classic series and as of today it will be supplied by Vredestein in twelve sizes. The specific distinguishing features of the Sprint Classic are the advanced technologies used to give the tyre optimum safety in combination with the comfort level of the 21st century. The Sprint Classic also distinguishes itself by its striking profiling and stylish sidewall engraving.

Thanks to the unique composition of the tyre tread mixture, all of Vredestein’s classic tyres, including the Sprint Classic, have been given a shorter braking distance compared to the classic tyres of the past. What is more, the tubeless Sprint Classic tyres are fitted with a high-quality inner liner that reduces tyre pressure loss to a minimum, even after long periods of non-use.

The Vredestein Sprint+ is immediately recognisable for its excellent driving characteristics and long life, which are the result of a special tyre tread mixture and a robust surface profile. The Sprint+ is available in seven sizes and comes with an S/T speed index.

The Snow+, as the name already suggests, is a typical classic winter tyre with reliable snow characteristics. The specially modified compound ensures extra grip on wet and snow-covered roads and thanks to the larger profile depth the Snow+ is highly resistant to aquaplaning. The tyre can also be fitted with snow chains for extra grip on icy roads. The Vredestein Snow+ is available in three sizes.
