Apollo Tyres Ltd has announced it is putting the finishing touches to an all-new ultra-high-performance all-season tyre that promises to set new standards in the increasingly popular UHP all-season segment. The Vredestein Quatrac Pro 2, scheduled for launch in summer 2026, represents a comprehensive ground-up development featuring an entirely new structure, cutting-edge materials and an advanced directional tread pattern.
The successor to Vredestein's acclaimed Quatrac Pro line has been specifically engineered to meet the demands of modern electrified powertrains. With hybrid and battery electric vehicles accounting for a growing proportion of the high-performance market, Apollo has prioritised characteristics essential for these applications, including reduced rolling resistance for enhanced range, low noise emissions for cabin refinement, and a reinforced construction capable of handling the additional weight of battery packs whilst maintaining the dynamic response expected by enthusiast drivers.
Apollo positions the Quatrac Pro 2 as a breakthrough "do-everything" performance-focused product, targeting a broad spectrum of high-performance applications. The tyre will be suitable for sports cars, supercars and high-performance variants of saloons, hatchbacks and SUVs, with availability planned across a comprehensive range of popular fitment sizes.
The announcement underscores Vredestein's long-standing leadership in the all-season category. The brand has been instrumental in developing the segment since its emergence in the early 1990s and continues to enjoy strong customer loyalty amongst all-season tyre buyers. Today, Vredestein maintains what it describes as the broadest and most diverse portfolio of all-season products on the market, reflecting its position as a category pioneer.
The Quatrac Pro 2's summer 2026 launch timeline suggests Apollo is targeting the crucial pre-winter selling season, when consumer interest in all-season tyres traditionally peaks. Further technical specifications and pricing details are expected to be released closer to the product's market introduction.
