Tires Kumho or Vredestein

Meanwhile, my rears (225/35/18 on a 10) have been fine so far, about a year. Kumho Ecsta PS31.

Vredestein Quatrac Pro lasted longest of them brand you consider.

I love the Vredestein’s. It’s definitely a “softer” tire but the grip level in both dry and snow is incredible. You will not be disappointed

I have the vredestiens on my Cadillac CTS, they are great tires. Quiet, great in the rain/snow/icy roads, I've got about 20k on them right now and still over half treadwear left on them. They also have some great dry road performance, very grippy.

V730 are perfect. The wear like iron, are very predictable and most important for a track day tire- don’t have heat cycling issues.

I’ve had good luck with “value” level Kumhos and Generals. Currently I drive a used BMW with over 300hp that came with budget Kumhos. They were brand new so I kept them. When they wore out I replaced them with expensive Continentals. I absolutely noticed the difference in quality

I have had no issues with these tires. I assume the people from Norway know how to make winter tires, lol.

I have had the Quatrac 5 on my car for a few years without issue.

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.

Routine maintenance at VW dealer alerted me to tire cracks. Cracks would be an understatement. The tires had 14,000 miles on them. They are meant to be under warrantee. The local tire store and I phoned each Vredestein and left messages. I wrote the company three times. No response.
