Tires Goodyear or Vredestein

Got Windtrac Pro+ on my Elantra N for the winter. Drove to and from Canada over the weekend, 1000mi round trip, through snow and sleet. Have nothing but positive things to say about these tires! They handle wonderfully in harsher conditions and really help with road noise and pot hole absorption.

I've only driven on them for 30 miles but holy crap are these things amazing. These winters grip better in the cold than the crappy Firestone summers my car came on grip the warm. I'm able to launch a 0-60 with minimal wheel spin and without chirping the tires on the 1-2 shift. These are also softer and quieter than any Blizzaks or X-Ice Snows I've had. They're soft and squishy and compliant. They give a great ride and still retain some steering feedback.

Goodyear Ultragrip was good on RWD 535d, tuned

My current set are Vredestein Hyoertrac All Season Performance Tirea. We had quite a bit of snow last year and I was surprised at how well they worked.

I run VREDESTEIN QUATRAC PROs all year. They are technically all seasons but are severe snow rated. I drive all over the UP and they have been great. I’m in a FWD tiny car too. No issues since switching.

I have used these for years and they offer great performance in the dry or snow

I’m a winter tire guy. Have been since my MK6 TDI. I’ve never been stuck. With the manual transmission and grabby tires, I just rip through that shit. Vredstein set for me. “Performance” winter set.

Vredestein Quattrac Pros were decent but about 30k miles it looks like. The Vredies I have had a sidewall issue on one. They are well rated bit want more durability.

My Goodyear assurance weather ready tire had dry rot after 40K miles.

OMG, two years ago, I put Goodyear Reliant all way around on my Kia Soul. They are the worst tires I've ever had in 50 years of driving. They are cupping in the back & cut in front, have become incredibly noisy, even though they still have decent tread.
