Tires OEM Audi or Vredestein

I had them on my wife’s XC70. They’re a pretty good tire.

I've been really happy with my Vredesteins. They are extremely quiet which is a big plus for me.

they are great for cheap yet surprisingly well performing tires, i personally run the quatrac pro on my 94 miata and it performed impressively well in both rain and snow.

I run the "Vredestein Wintrac Pro" on msw 18's on my mk8 golf r and they rip in all conditions, I ran them all last winter and showed little wear, although I did avoid hot days.

New rubber today, Vredestein hypertracs, good tire ????????

Just got a 2021 sq5 today, comes with 5 year CPO, so it has like 3 years left. My intention is to drive it for 4-5 years, they quoted me like 3.5k CAD after tax for two years. So ill have factory warranty until 2028.

I bought Vredestein Wintrac Pro and have really liked them. I live in western Massachusetts and have a very long gravel driveway up a steep hill. The tires are great and get very good ratings.

Had the Wintrac Pro on my Type R for the past 5 winters and drove them for about 50000km all through central Europe and southern Scandinavia. Never had issues with them, both in the wet and in the snow.

Good:

Excellent on ice for non studded

God like handling in the snow. Rivals the Michelins. This tire was seriously impressive. If it wasn't for the drawback I experienced below this tire would be a no brainer

VERY good handling on ice

Bad:

Dangerous handling during heavy rains. Aquaplaned very easily. I had a small light car. If you get these tires, remember this post and be cautious the first few rains until you get a feel for them. It may be that my car that was light for the thread design (2512 lbs with short wheelbase)

Tire wear goes fast on dry hot pavement

Noisiest tire I've had on my vehicle to date

Vredestein summer tires but very disappointed by them. Last year they were excellent, this year they went bad. My confidence in rainy weather vaporized.
