year-round grip and traction - Suitability for use on ice and snow certified by ‘Three-Peak Mountain Snowflake’ mark

Apollo Tyres Ltd has launched the Vredestein Quatrac Classic, a premium all-season classic car tyre that combines timeless looks with modern structure and materials for superior standards of year-round grip and traction.
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.
Available from Q2 2025, the new tyre will initially be available in two of the sizes most often found on ‘winter season’ classic cars used year-round. 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; while the narrower 125 R15 68 S is ideal for Citroën models including the Méhari, Dyane and 2CV.
Since its introduction in 1993, the Vredestein Quatrac line has been at the forefront of all-season tyre innovation. Apollo Tyres has continued to expand the Quatrac portfolio to cater for an ever more diverse range of vehicles, including high-performance cars, SUVs and electric vehicles. The Quatrac Classic builds on this legacy, combining Apollo Tyres’ cutting-edge technology with a deep understanding of classic car heritage. It joins the prestigious Vredestein classic tyre family, which includes the Grip Classic, Snow Classic, Sprint Classic, Sprint+ and Transport Classic.
Yves Pouliquen, Vice President, Commercial, Europe at Apollo Tyres Ltd, commented: “With the Vredestein Quatrac Classic, we are enabling classic car owners to experience the joy of their vehicles year-round, without compromising on safety or performance. This tyre is a testament to our ability to bring together modern engineering and timeless design, and is the perfect addition to our growing classic car tyre line-up.”
