Tires BFGoodrich or Vredestein
Absolutely blown away by how confidence inspiring this car becomes in the winter with these on! We just got a few inch dusting and the stability is absolutely fantastic - this is my first time driving a RWD sports car in inclimate winter weather/temps, but seriously, this feels better than pretty much any other car I've driven with all seasons in this kind of weather. These tires shred in the snow.
Running Vredestein Wintracs on both, and they are basically unstoppable in all winter conditions. So worth it.
I thought it was amazing on snows. I remember charging down Big Pines Highway in a driving snowstorm feeling like I was in a rally stage, it just had grip and traction for days with my Vredestein Wintrak Pros
These look like Vredestein quatracs, which are an excellent all season/all weather tire. They are not a winter tire though. Much better in winter conditions than the 3 season tires which are standard in the US, but not as good as a winter tire.
I went the all-weather route and run Vredestein Quadtrac Pro+ tires. This snowstorm was my first time trying them out in anything more than a dusting and they handled great! I had grip for days in everything other than super thick slush, and with a bit of caution that was no issue either.
Eu am avut Vredestein de iarn\u0103 \u0219i am mers 60000 cu ele var\u0103 \u0219i iarn\u0103,dac\u0103 ma\u0219ina e reglat\u0103 bine la unghi,nu ai treab\u0103,vara bine\u00een\u021beles nu e\u0219ti la F1
I run KO2s on my truck year round. I’ve never had dedicated winter tires for my truck so I can’t compare to that, but the all terrains are noticeably better on snow and ice than the all seasons that came with it. You still need to use common sense with driving to the conditions but the tires do help
Ran the Vredestein Wintrac Pro on my S3 last winter. They did fine. About the same as Michelin x-ice snows I had before. A little squirmy if you do any fun driving but that’s to be expected with a winter tire. They did surprisingly well on a frozen lake auto cross for a studless winter tire.
I have load range E tires (BFG KO3) on Rock Warrior 17" forged wheels, so I've made that tradeoff too, but am clear-eyed about consequences. Also, loss in MPG and acceleration due to having to spin more weight on each wheel. And incorrect speedometer / odometer readings. And loss in tow capacity (due to giving away torque via taller tires, which effectively decreases gear ratios).
My rebate was denied as my invoice failed audit, currently in a battle with Vredestein...also 2 put of 4 tires I got were defective, stay away and get Michelins...
