Tires Kumho or Vredestein

I went with 245/45R18 Vredestein Wintrac Pro -- been very happy with two winters so far!

Have about 5k on the Vredestein quatrac pro xl, on the 17" oem wheels (alltrack s), so far I am pretty happy with them. I have driven them through some serious snow and I would say they perform noticeably better than the oem falkens. They handle the dry pretty well too. They don't squeal as much as the falkens did which is nice, I feel like overall just much better traction. These are the nicest tires I have purchased for one of my vehicles so far.

I decided to get the Vredestein Quatrac Pro tires for my 2017 Alfa Romeo Giulia. Great tires so far. Will consider them when I need new tires on my 2018 VW Tiguan.

Vredestein, best tyre you've never heard of! I'm running the wintrac pros rn and I will recommend them to everyone for winters. Perfect balance between performance and snow use!!

Just got the Vredestein Quatrac Pro tires. Amazing grip and handling. They are an XL tire and they are also rated for extreme winter conditions.

we just installed a set of Vredestein Quatrac Pro tires on my sons 2005 Pontiac Vibe. He absolutely LOVES the tires!! I have ALWAYS been a strong believer in a good set of dedicated snow tire, however these tires seem to be the best of both worlds. I am seriously considering purchasing a set for my 2003 Passat W8!

I bought the Vredestein Quatrac Pro based on that Tire Rack review.

They are the most comfortable, satisfying feeling tires I have ever driven in my life. The ride quality, quietness, and general polished feel are unmatched. They have damn near Michelin A/S 3+ and Conti DWS06 dry and wet traction despite being about 4 performance classes down. They are actually very good in snow/ice as well. Been ripping through the Canadian winter on them with no complaints.

I have Vredestein on my 2008 Infiniti G35X and they’re an excellent all around tire. Highly recommend.

I had Kuhmos on both of my MK1 coupes (summer tires, never tried all seasons). They were quiet and comfortable until they weren't. Seemed to be a cliff you go over with them wear-wise. They were great, then very quickly you would get the noise/pounding "change me" stuff. But for the price they were hard to beat. Switched to the PSS on my MKII based on this forum. The Contis were out of stock and I couldn't wait, but they were also a possibility. Ran the PSS tires one season and they were very nice. Still had good performance in both wet and dry compared to the Kuhmos. Can't give you longevity since I traded that buggy in on my present TTS which came stock with Toyos, but I could have made at least one more season on them.

My experience with Kuhmos is they were prone to sidewall bubbles after pot-holes or curb contact.
