Tires FEDERAL or Vredestein

I just put the Vrederstein Quatrac Pro+ on my 24 Mini Countryman S All4, replacing the Pirelli runflats that were good tires, but kinda loud and you could feel every imperfection in the road. I don't have a lot of miles on em yet, but they are definitely quieter and more comfortable.

My Vredestein Quatrac’s have been great, and are pretty reasonably priced.

Just the loudest tires on planet earth. Boy do they grip through!

I just went from Federal 595 RS-RR (very loud but performed well on street and autocross) to their 595 RS-Pro (waaaaay quiter, I love these tires so far).

I also own a set of these, I can confirm. Fits my BMW very well as they used to make airplane engines, and these sound like a Messerschmidt prop plane.

Moved on from the run flats to Vredestein Quatrac Pro+. No run flats, no bubbles, and a SIGNIFICANT improvement in ride and noise. Seriously, switch away from these tires and you will only regret not doing it sooner

Put a set of Vredestein Hitracs on my mom's CX5 and she loves them. Quiet and excellent in the rain.

The Vredestein Quatrac Pros on the HRV were the best all around tire I've had and I'm pissed they discontinued them in the size I need. Very quiet, 90% of real snow tire performance.

Federal tires are cheap and good. I use Michelin PS4 but on wet paint they're almost useless.

I have a 1970 VW/Porsche 914, uses the same tire. I've had Michelins for years. About 3 years ago, I bought a set of Vredestein's - 165/15 - and they did not handle well at all.
