Tires Goodyear or Vredestein

My mini cooper (FWD like your Prius) is a beast in the snow with winter tires. WINTER tires, not just all seasons.

Stick with your Vredesteins. I live in the Great White North and swear by the quatrac's. You're not going to find a better value tire.

if you just need tires for street use and not break the bank, vredestein quatrac are the best all season tires i've ever ran (94'). and they worked great when i lived in Oregon and handled snow pretty well for what it was.

Walmart have Goodyear at 150 a tire and 18 bucks to fit.

I have the Reliant's on my Fusion and they have been great.

Very quiet, good wearing (I never expect much more than 40K of all weather usefulness no matter what the warranty says), and very good snow traction.

I bought Goodyear tires at Sam’s Club. Exact same price as 11/28/2022. Surprised me.

Ran the Vredestein Wintrac Pro on my S3 last winter. They did fine. About the same as Michelin x-ice snows I had before. A little squirmy if you do any fun driving but that’s to be expected with a winter tire. They did surprisingly well on a frozen lake auto cross for a studless winter tire.

I have the same tires on my work van (Ford Transit), also from 2022 and they look the same. They are also very understeery in wet weather

I’m barely getting 10k out of my Vredestein tires that TireRack said would be as good as the name brand. They aren’t.
