VIPAL CONTINUES ONWARD. THE VDA4 AND VT160 TREADS NOW COMES WITH THE
ALPINE
SYMBOL
The Vipal treads VDA4 and VT160 received the Alpine Symbol, that certifies when the tyre is designed for severe snow conditions. To earn this qualification, the treads underwent rigorous testing at a major laboratory in Finland accredited by the European authorities, according to standard ECE R117. The tested Vipal retreaded commercial tyres showed an outstanding adherence to snow surfaces, with a respectively snow grip index of 60% and 79% above the compared standard tyres. These scores are a lot higher than the 25% necessary to receive the certification, attesting the quality of the treads under snowy conditions.
