The Pinza HT is Vredestein's Highway All-Season tire designed for drivers of crossovers, SUVs and pickup trucks looking for a tire with pleasant road manners balanced with durability and predictable handling. Pinza HT tires are engineered to provide capable traction on dry and wet roads, as well as in light snow.
The symmetric pattern of the Pinza HT is molded from an all-season tread compound intended to provide ease of rotation to promote even tread wear. Larger shoulder blocks help stabilize cornering forces for surefooted handling in high center of gravity vehicles and under heavy loads. The independent tread blocks are staggered to help minimize tread noise with generous pass-through notches that help evacuate water into the large circumferential grooves, increasing hydroplaning resistance. Tread blocks feature dense, zig-zag siping designed to provide biting edges for traction in slippery, wet and wintry conditions.
Internal construction of the Pinza HT consists of two high-strength steel belts supported by a robust, two-ply polyester casing with an additional polyamide cap-ply for stability at highway speeds.
El neumático Pinza HT de Vredestein pertenece a la categoría: Autopista Para Toda Estación y fue diseñado para conductores de utiliautos (crossovers), vehículos utilitarios deportivos (SUV, por sus siglas en inglés) y picops, que buscan un neumático con comportamiento cómodo en carreteras, equilibrado con durabilidad y manejo predecible. Los neumáticos Pinza HT han sido fabricados para proporcionar tracción sobre carreteras secas, mojadas o cubiertas con poca nieve.
El patrón simétrico del Pinza HT es moldeado con un compuesto de caucho para toda estación, que permite una rotación fácil de los neumáticos y un desgaste parejo. Tacos o bloques grandes en los hombros ayudan a estabilizar las fuerzas encontradas al tomar curvas, para una maniobrabilidad más segura, en vehículos con un centro de gravedad alto y cargas pesadas. Los bloques independientes de la huella se encuentran escalonados para minimizar el ruido, ranuras grandes ayudan a evacuar el agua a los canales circunferenciales, para aumentar la resistencia al deslizamiento sobre agua (hydroplaning). Una gran cantidad de pequeñas ranuras tipo zigzag en los bloques, proporcionan bordes adherentes para encontrar tracción en superficies mojadas, resbalosas y en condiciones invernales.
La construcción interna del Pinza HT consiste de dos correas de acero de gran resistencia, soportadas por una capa robusta de dos correas de poliester y una capa adicional de poliamida para obtener mayor estabilidad a velocidades permitidas en los autopistas.

...I live in the Midwest, so it's typical for us to have ice, snow and rain, and these last few couple of weeks showed us all three elements. I was very comfortable driving in 8" of snow, even though I just stayed around town...
I’m so pleased with my Vredestein Pinza HT tires. My brother is a certified mechanic who refers his customers to Tirerack regularly and led me to them. I paid more for these vs the stock tires that my local tire company offered, but Vredestein had a great $140 rebate that I took advantage of, which went through seamlessly, and made the value worth it overall. I was even able to have the tires delivered to that tire shop to be put on; there were no issues at all. I’ll definitely buy these tires again. I can’t believe the difference I feel when on the road. I feel very safe driving under any conditions. I was especially curious how they’d do on wet surfaces, as I get nervous when it comes to hydroplaning. I can say they grip like nothing else I’ve driven. I live in the Midwest, so it’s typical for us to have ice, snow and rain, and these last few couple of weeks showed us all three elements. I was very comfortable driving in 8” of snow, even though I just stayed around town. Again, I’m just so pleased with this purchase and Tirerack was wonderful to do business with.

...Living in a snow belt area with an early heavy snow fall, the tires work surprisingly better than expected for not being a full on snow tire. Conditions ranged from in hard pack, in slushy to in approximately 8 inches dense powder...
Overall they are early in use but have been pleased with them. I have run in auto select 4 wheel drive and have had no trouble getting around. Living in a snow belt area with an early heavy snow fall, the tires work surprisingly better than expected for not being a full on snow tire. Conditions ranged from hard pack, slushy to approximately 8 inches dense powder. Quiet and smooth riding with predictable response so far from dry, wet to snow. Time will tell as to wear but happy and hopeful they continue to please.

...Dry traction and corning is excellent...
These tires seem like they are going to last a long time. With the open side tread design they should be good in wet weather and avoid hydroplaning. Dry traction and corning is excellent. With the straight tread pattern the tires to track with the groves in the highway.

So far (although early) the tires have preformed excellent. Nice ride and good dry grip. We just took a 2700 mile trip and they were flawless. Not noisy. Crazy, but have not been in the rain yet. So far an excellent buy, especially for the price. This is my second set and I am well pleased.

...These tires were purchased as a result of very good experience with a set of Pinza ATs on my Tundra...same great features, low wear rate, great traction in dry, wet, snow and off-road (gravel) conditions, and low tire noise on highway...
The Pinzas have been a major improvement over the Firestone Destination LE3 previously on the vehicle as they were noisy. Have only put limited miles on them and with the dry weather we've been experiencing in eastern PA this fall (2024) hasn't provided the opportunity to drive in wet or snowy conditions. These tires were purchased as a result of very good experience with a set of Pinza ATs on my Tundra...same great features, low wear rate, great traction in dry, wet, snow and off-road (gravel) conditions, and low tire noise on highway. Price was very competitive on both sets too. Would definitely recommend the brand and model.

...My first set was excellent as well, but this newer model tire has a lot better tread wear rating. From a 400 rating to a 700 rating, this should keep me from buying tires so often.
