Tires Falken or Vredestein

Have about 2-3 foot of snow in Eastern NC today (still falling) and snow mode did fantastic on my WK2 with Wildpeak AT3W’s

I put Falken Aklimates on the 20's on my baby mom's. They are beyond awesome. I had to go to work this past Sunday during the worst of the snow (we got 14" by that evening when I left) and it made it through without a hiccup.

Can't recommend them enough.

Falken Wildpeak AT Trails are awesome. Great all around tire! Quiet too. Have them on my 22 GCL

Great tires in all conditions with amazing grip. I've had them since 2023.

I have a 2025 RS6 and for winter I am running 21" aftermarket wheels with Vredestein Wintrac Pro+ tires. Been really happy so far and here in Minnesota we've had a whopping of snow this year.

It’s been about 5,000 miles and I wanted to write a quick review of the Quatrac Pro tired because I couldn’t really find anything. So these were advertised as "all weather" at Les Schwab… not "all season". I will say these are fantastic. I live in PNW and these had done exceptionally well in the rain and puddles. The first 1,000 miles or so was a trip to Montana. It was extremely cold and icy, but the tires still did amazing for non winter tires. That being said, the range did take a hit. Also I am not one to notice the road noise, I don’t really pay attention to that, but these seem quieter than the stock tires. Anyway 10/10 would buy again.

I know [these](https://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires.jsp?tireMake=Vredestein&tireModel=Wintrac+Pro%2B&partnum=54VR9WTPPXL&autoMake=Ford&autoYear=2025&autoModel=Mustang+GT&autoModClar=255%2F40-19) aren't the cheapest thing out there but I have them on my ‘25 GT and they are great in the snow. Haven't had 1 issue since I put them on the beginning of November.

I’m using Falken Azenis. I was planning on Michelin pilot sports, but tariffs added almost $200 per tire so I went with Falkens from the stock Pirelli P Zeros.

What I’ve noticed:

Steering feel is noticeably worse. I noticed instantly. Honestly that doesn’t matter with a muscle car, but I liked the direct feel and confidence of the pirellis.

However, the new ride is nicer. Ride is slightly more comfortable, which for a daily driver is a valid trade off. Ride went from 4/10 to a 5/10 in comfort.

If the Pirellis grip at normal temperatures is an 8/10 the falkens are maybe 6.9/10. I’ve only had them for 200 miles so far though.

My pirellis needed to be replaced after 8k miles on the street. The falkens should last 30-40k miles. Oh and the pirellis turned in to glass below 50 Fahrenheit since they’re summer tires. I’m definitely going to try Michelins next, no matter the price, but I’m not upset at cheaping out ($320 a tire) this time.

run as fast as you can from the Falken tires. mine were absolute shit

I’m a little disappointed in the Mav (FWD hybrid) snow performance. Even got real nice Falken Wildpeak AT3 all-terrains in August since the factory continentals were dogshit. It gets by alright enough but still slips on acceleration. A lot.
