Tires Pirelli or Vredestein

I switched to Pirelli Scorpion AS Plus 3 on our 17 Touareg, night and day from stock. They’re expensive, but worth it.

Put a set of Vredestein Hitracs on my mom's CX5 and she loves them. Quiet and excellent in the rain.

The Vredestein Quatrac Pros on the HRV were the best all around tire I've had and I'm pissed they discontinued them in the size I need. Very quiet, 90% of real snow tire performance.

I chose the Vredestein Quatrac Pro's for my wife's ML350 4Matic. Quiet, handle well (for a beast that heavy) and good in the wet.

I've had Pirelli Scorpion plus all season 15 years ago on my old Nissan Sentra and it did a great job for 50k miles. Right now, i have Pirelli Scorpion AT plus and it does a great job so far in all weather with my Lexus GX460. I have good experience so far with Pirelli compared to other brands.

If you only drive on snow a handful of days a year, I'd get the Pirellis, they'll be better than the other two most of time.

I put the scorpions on my wife’s 21 cx9. And they are amazing. Very smooth and quiet.

In my experience, P-Zeros were great at first, but got slippery really fast, even when there was plenty of tread-depth left.

I had problems with the Pirellis that came with mine too. Replaced with other Pirellis. More issues.

I have Costco's version of the Michelin Defender 2 (X Tour 2) on our Atlas and they have been great. I have also used a set of Vredestein Hitrac A/S, they're a great tire until the last half of the treat and they get absolutely rock hard and you may as well be on ice. I just replaced a set with plenty of usable tread left because they had suck little traction. Overall, I would suggest a Defender LTX M/S.
