Tires FEDERAL or Vredestein

I think in my case where my Toyota Sprinter is a 5MT 4WD vehicle (with a center locking diff i might add ????), the Vredesteins are my favorite. In the other 3 seasons of the year where there is no snow, they are excellent in the wet, they are relatively quiet and i enjoy how they perform with more "spirited" driving.

I have been running the Wintrac Pro since Nov '23 they haven't come off yet! This tire has been hands down the very best all season tire I have ever run. Excellent rain and dry performance and very good snow performance. They don't hook up as well as Hakka's because they are a harder compound and they do not break as well on snow as Hakka's. But they are exceptional in more areas. I have driven all summer on them and it is almost winter here now in the PNW mountains of Oregon. I live directly north of Mt.Hoodamd I regularly drive the WRX north to the Seattle area randomly all year including winter. Mostly travel the east route or what locals call the 'backside' route which is much colder and see's more snow. I come west on 90 through the Snoqualmie Valley and these tires inspire confidence. I just measured them at 7/32" of tread left and I have put 25k mi on them in one year. I do feel like they have gotten a bit harder than when new but they still perform so I will run them down to 5/32" and purchase a new set.

I’ve been running the pros the past 2 years on the wrx. Going to put them on my wife’s cx90. And I’ll put the pro+ when I need to replace them on the wrx. I won’t put another tire on for a while. Absolutely in love with them. Amazing rain traction and a nice soft sidewall but not winter tire soft, great if you have coilovers. I run a high rate for autocross and these tires have been so comfy. Did great with snow as well. It’s not invincible like dedicated winters but you will never have issues unless you decide to hoon in state of emergency type of weather.

Vredestein Quatrac (V shaped all seasons) are fantastic tires. The best, in my opinion, in wet conditions. I love those tires, they run perfectly. I highly recommend them. ????????????

I love how the Vredestein Quatrac (the V shaped all seasons) tires behave. They are fantastic tires and the best in my opinion for wet conditions. I would definitely recommend them anytime. They are great tires.

I use them on my C7 S6 in winter. Also had a set of winters for my B7 S4 cab.

Love them.

These have been my go to winter tires for years. Even when worn past the winter compound portion of the tread they are predictable and confidence inspiring in snow. Better than any Bridgestone blizzak or Michelin alpine tire I’ve owned. All having been used in DEEP snow conditions.

I picked up my first set of Wintrac Pro’s last season and even though they got limited use as it was warm-ish with little snow, they were excellent.

I had Quatrac Pros on my last car. (2014 Mazda 6 Touring). They were quiet and rode nice, but I was underwhelmed by their snow performance.

I have these on my Tesla Y. Not great at absorbing road imperfections. While they are quite, I do lack confidence in them in the rain and snow.
