Tires DUNLOP or Vredestein

As for my Arteon I bought these 6 months ago and I absolutely love them. They're made in Norway and are all season but they're also severe snow rated and I can confirm they perform way better than most all seasons in the snow. Super quiet grand touring tire.

I have them on my 2019 Audi A4. We often have clear roads in the winter here in Boston, so I buy performance winter tires. The Wintracs have been excellent. They are fairly quiet and they handle well in all of the winter conditions that I’ve encountered.

My V60PE has Vredstein Wintrac Pros .. have not used them in the snow, but they feel great in the dry. Not summer performance tires, but stable and drive really well.

These are a great tire and maintain the proper OD on a 15x7 wheel

Both have with equal and even wear Tread depth a heavy 5/32” No plugs or bubbles If I could have found a used pair of these, I wouldn’t be selling this pair.

12000 miles on vredestein hitrac as 245/60/18 on my car. Love them so far.

I just in installed 4 of the Vredestein Quatrac Pro from TireRack. They've been on for 2 weeks and initial impressions are much improved over the Giti's. They also have the 3PMSF symbol as well.

I've bought a set of quatrac 5 vredesteins for my X5 ... 2.5/3 years ago ... about halfway worn after 25k miles.

To be honest, in the dry ... easy to reach and surpass the adhesion limit at moderate speeds, feel is mehh at best. Quiet tires, decent tread life, comfortable but no where near the advertised levels. Currently during the winter ... moderate snow ... nothing spectacular, slightly better grip off the line than the duellers, fairly predictable, but a bit short on lateral grip ... so if you are braking and trying to cut a corner on snow ... better be awake so you don't end up in a ditch nose first.

I have the same tires on my 22 SE and they suck lol. Mine has the same issue with little pebbles stuck in the treads.

First came with Michelin tires, had no complaints about them, second came with Dunlop's and they are trash. The tires are loud, and pick up rocks and small pebbles on the outer and inner edges of the tires, that don't fly out while driving. Tires have less than 15k km on them. It's caused some vibration and I've had to manually take them out from time to time.
