Tyre-maker Apollo Tyres has introduced the premium Vredestein Pinza AT tyres for SUVs in India. These tyres come with an all-weather grip to provide excellent stability over rugged terrain and deliver quieter, more comfortable rides.
The Vredestein Pinza AT is a global product. It is being manufactured in India aimed at premium SUVs from brands like Jeep, JLR, Mercedes, Toyota and Volvo.
These high-performance tyres have been developed after an intensive study into SUV driver’s habits and preferences. According to Apollo, the Vredestein Pinza AT has been extensively tested in different climates and weather conditions across multiple continents.
About The Vredestein Pinza AT
According to the company, the Pinza AT range is produced at Apollo Tyres’ facilities located in Vadodara and Andhra Pradesh. They will be available in multiple sizes ranging from 17 to 20 inches, while 16-inch units will be launched later.
Some prominent features of the Vredestein Pinza AT tyres include a wider tread pattern, increased tread stiffness, herringbone grooves. These work for water evacuation, ‘Silent Groove’ and multi-pitch technology for quieter operation, as well as stone ejectors and three-ply triplex casing for enhanced durability and protection against external damage.
They also feature a jagged-edge shoulder design aimed at delivering rugged aesthetics and full capability in mud, sand, and snow. While the fifth-generation polymer blend is claimed to provide wet weather stability with full-depth interlocking sipes.
Official Statement

These tyres have been refined for on road civility but built rugged for off-road capability, and will appeal to the off roading enthusiast with premium SUVs or with a premium mindset.”
