Which is better for snow?

Both carry the M+S rating, which covers mud and light snow. Neither is a true winter tire, so for heavy snow use a dedicated winter set on either.

The Roadian GTX has a 70,000-mile treadwear warranty and a UTQG treadwear of 680. Vredestein does not publish a treadwear warranty for the HiTrac, so the Roadian GTX is the safer bet on longevity.

Is the Roadian GTX worth the extra?

It is not extra. At $117.70 at Walmart as of November 6, 2026, it is the only one of the two with a listed price, and it adds a 70,000-mile warranty and roadside assistance.

Vredestein markets the HiTrac for low tread noise. Nexen also designs the Roadian GTX to cut road noise with its ribbed tread. Neither publishes a decibel figure, so a test drive is the only real check.

Which handles better in dry conditions?

The HiTrac is rated 4 out of 5 for dry handling and is a grand-touring tire. The Roadian GTX is tuned for comfort rather than sporty response, so the HiTrac is the sharper of the two.

Do both come in my size?

The HiTrac lists 17 and 18 inch sizes. The Roadian GTX is built for SUVs with high-performance sizes as well. Confirm your exact size on each product page before ordering.

Vredestein HiTrac vs Nexen Roadian GTX

The Nexen Roadian GTX is the better buy for most shoppers: it costs $117.70 at Walmart as of November 6, 2026, and carries a 70,000-mile treadwear warranty, a 60-day free trial and 36 months of roadside assistance. The Vredestein HiTrac is a grand-touring all-season with solid dry handling and low noise, but it lacks a published treadwear warranty and its listed sizes are 17 and 18 inch. Pick the HiTrac only if you want a European-brand touring tire and your size fits.
