Tires OEM Mazda or Vredestein

I have the Winter Tech Pro's on Model 3 AWD and they have been great. They are aimed at occasional snow and ice with emphasis on excellent performance on slushy, wet roads. Had them in an ID snow storm of about 8" that shutdown I-84 and they were great. Not as good as Xice on pure ice and snow but better on the resulting slush and wet. Quieter than Xice or the OEM Primacies on the car.

I have a set of Quatrac Pros on my car. Just passed 43k miles on them. I have nothing but positive experiences with these tires.

For Winter tyres, in terms of noise and harshness, the Vredestein Wintrac Pro and Hankook Winter i*cept Evo³ are trading blows with each other. I noticed, that the Hankook is noisier on some surfaces, while the Vredestein is on others. Same with bumps. Neither is crashy though or loud. The noise they make it is also a low tone, so not disturbing.

Vredestein Quatrac Pro All Weather tires were used about 8 -9 months - approximately 6K miles. Excellent condition. 2 Tires have 9/32” wear, one with 8/32" and last one just under 8/32" (new is 10/32)

I put 12k miles on Quatrac Pro tries with my Rav4 Prime - quite happy with them and they are barely worn in. Lots of highway driving as I work from home. They were much quieter than the stock tires and the grip was really good in the wet (it rains a lot in my area).

I immediately swapped the 20's with the OEM Goodyears for 19's with Vredestein Wintrac Pros.

Quatrac Pros. All weather severe snow and rated tops for wet traction to boot.

Update two: went up a half frozen covered in snow hill climb and they did great. Model y dual motor has great traction but the tires handled it superbly. I'm very happy so far

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

I've noticed that tires go fairly quick on my Mazda3
