Tires FEDERAL or Vredestein

Since your new one is a Vredestein Quatrac Pro+, I’d pick up another Quatrac Pro+ for the rear so both sides wear evenly and you avoid noise/vibration.

I put these on a couple weeks ago and was amazed this weekend just how well they handle in the snow and the cold. They felt a little weird for the first couple days after getting them put on, but now I never expected a rwd sports car to handle so well in the snow. Love them!

Very happy I have the vredesteins a try because I was super happy with them.

dude i also run these! I love them, def doesn't seem like they get much attention or consideration but they are awesome and i feel so confident in winter with these on the car, im on my third winter with them!

I\u2019ve got these on my ND as well. Absolutely love them. They perform great in the snow, and aren\u2019t too soft and mushy when it\u2019s dry.

Absolutely blown away by how confidence inspiring this car becomes in the winter with these on! We just got a few inch dusting and the stability is absolutely fantastic - this is my first time driving a RWD sports car in inclimate winter weather/temps, but seriously, this feels better than pretty much any other car I've driven with all seasons in this kind of weather. These tires shred in the snow.

Running Vredestein Wintracs on both, and they are basically unstoppable in all winter conditions. So worth it.

TireRack has some Vredsteins. Those arent bad. Better than what Walmart has anyway.

I had the Vredestein Sportrac 5 previously.

Positives:

+ Quiet and smooth ride

+ Very reliable on flooded highways

Negatives:

- Soft sides, tires looked deflated at the recommended pressure (2.2/1.9 bar - if the car is not loaded, which is most of the time). If I inflate more the drive gets extreme hard and uncomfortable.

I have not driven a lot of tires but wonder if that soft side somehow dampens accuracy?

- Surprisingly bad at braking on the dry, even at low speed in the city, they slide.

Verdesteins that i put on my q7 were trash. All 4 went bald within 20k miles !!
