Tires Falken or Vredestein

I just replaced my stock tires with Vredestein Quatrac Pro tires (205 55R17 for me). These Dutch made tires seem to be quieter and have a better grip than the Falken OEM.

I went with Falken wildpeaks for my last 2 sets and have had great results (sold the first set with 45K miles with 10/32 tread left) and I still love my 2nd set.

I have a 2020 Cross Sport building into a suburban overland mall crawler. There's a minimal amount of model-specific aftermarket support. VWoA has parts available as part of their Basecamp product line (flares, valences, wheels, tires). A lot of the other stuff is just adaptable accessory add-ons. The biggest tire you can fit without lifting (and maybe even with) is a 265-70-17 (Falken Wildpeak AT3W shown), but you will need the SmithVW BFT blocks to pull in the fender liners. Mine still rubs on occasion but something about dubbing and rubbing. Wheels are fifteen52 Traverse MX 17x8 ET20 in Frosted Graphite.

I've switched back to my "winter" set up, actually just severe snow rated all-seasons. On this setup, I run Motegis MR131s (Super light, inexpensive wheels BTW), with Vrederstein Quatrac Pro 225/50/17s. I now have just minimal wheelspin at wot in second, even uphill, and I'm able to take off from a light without babying it. I can now drive normally. These tires are Y-rated, so not quite the typical all season.

I had the Ultracs on my audi years ago and they very nice tires, expensive but nice.

Bought a set of Vredestein Wintrac Pro for my RS3. Reviews seemed good from what I found on UK sites.

If you looking for an economical, aggressive, all round good tire, you can’t beat the faulken wilpeak at3s. I have them currently and love them. When I was doing research 1 year ago Consumer reports also rated the faulkens one of the best all terrain tires.

The Falken Wildpeak A/T trails that I got late this spring have been great since. They're quiet and surprisingly efficient on the road, while delivering noticeably better grip on loose dirt, mud, and sand.

Kept mine at 35 (19 sport with stock falken). Now have Falken Wildpeaks also @ 35psi.

Car was on all seasons that were almost new(falken 912's). Going down the highway at 35 in 4th gear, I was running about 1k rpm and any touch of the gas would spin the tires. Starting on a hill was impossible.
