Tires MICHELIN or Vredestein

We have Michelin defender2 on the alltrack for the past 20K and they are nice and quiet, no signs of cupping so far.

I love how the Vredestein Quatrac (the V shaped all seasons) tires behave. They are fantastic tires and the best in my opinion for wet conditions. I would definitely recommend them anytime. They are great tires.

I use them on my C7 S6 in winter. Also had a set of winters for my B7 S4 cab.

Love them.

These have been my go to winter tires for years. Even when worn past the winter compound portion of the tread they are predictable and confidence inspiring in snow. Better than any Bridgestone blizzak or Michelin alpine tire I’ve owned. All having been used in DEEP snow conditions.

I picked up my first set of Wintrac Pro’s last season and even though they got limited use as it was warm-ish with little snow, they were excellent.

Got some summers for my stock 20” wheels earlier this year, and they exceeded any tire I’ve tried before in grip. In particular, at the same time the ride quality for 265/30 tire feels like a 19 or 18. Then I needed to replace my winters (Toyo Observ) so I tried their Wintrac’s and holy shit, they have stiff sidewalls for cornering yet while cruising are like floating on air. Hugely noticeable cornering improvement over the Toyos.

I have Defender 2s and still have 7mm of tread left after 80,000 miles. They've been great so far.

Something like the Michelin Defender is a safe bet and I've run those on Rav4's before.

Careful with Michelin model numbers as they are confusing and people often buy ones they didnt intend

My 70K Michelins were rocks at 47000

Still had some tread left all evenly worn but they sucked

No traction,no ride quality and i junked them.
