Tires Falken or Vredestein

Love them. Had them for about 3 years in NJ and they handle so much better than KO2's in the snow.

They do great in snow, I live in Montana and haven’t had any problems. However, I can’t say any non-designated winter tire is great on ice. Snow is no problem though for the AT3W’s

After looking on tire rack and having some more conversations with my shop I’m going to go with the Verdestein Quatrac Pro’s slightly lower scores in some of the categories than the CrossClimates but still look like a highly rated tire and gonna save me close to $300

I had them on my wife’s XC70. They’re a pretty good tire.

I bought a set of those for my MS about a year ago. I ate thru the rears in 6 months. If I recall those have no tread wear warranty. The set I have now are Azensis FK460. Much better tires with 50k tread wear warranty.

I have Falkens on my MSP. Very smooth, quiet and good performance so far. Decent price too.

I am running FK510s on mine. Good price for what they are. Reasonably quiet and they do well in the rain. I get around 18k miles on them but the roads I drive on are pretty rough (mostly concrete).

I had sumitomo and then changed to falkens they have good grip and is spirted driving approved.

Tires like QUATRAC 5 offer solid performance when new or slightly used. Due to well siped thread lugs and overall spacing of tread lugs, it offers well mannered ride in wet, maybe even in snow. However, based on my subjective experience, after owning many different types of tires, I noticed semi-open outer tread lugs only work until they are worn down to tire bar that stabilizes the tread lugs. Once tread is worn pass that bar, performance diminishes adversely.

My falken ziex came with my car from the dealership and have 15.5k miles on them. When i checked the tread last week, they were 4/32 in the front and 5/32 in the back. This seems like really excessive wear.
