Tires SUMITOMO or Vredestein

As an alternative to all-out winter tire, the new Vredestein Quatrac Pro "all-weather" tire has received great reviews from both Consumer Reports and Tire Rack

Vredestein now definitely has the segment performance leader in the Quatrac Pro for "all-weather" tires available in large wheel sizes and low profile sizes (my wife's new Impreza will be getting the Michelin CrossClimate+, but not available for our Arteon).

Just got a set installed on my 2016 Prius c at 40k miles. Good so far compared to the stock tires, but haven't tried them in winter conditions yet. They seem a bit quieter than the stock tires and they seem to handle better than the stock tires. Rolling resistance also seems surprisingly low, given they aren't "eco" tires like the stock tires were.

Had a set of the Quatrac 4's on the wife's Focus while in Germany. These did well in wet, snow, and ice. Were quiet on the Autobahn and handled very well, totally stable at speed.

Put these on my wife’s car (2011 Sonata 2.0T) and they’re great. Quiet, handle well, do good in all weather. Plus they’re relatively cheap in comparison.

Finally replacing stock ('15 XT) garbage tires and I know nearly anything will be a huge improvement but thanks in advance for any opinions.

running 40psi, when i go to the track, i keep it at about 38 and check and let out hot air as i go each lap, ill go from 35 to 50*f after a few laps so i always am messing with air. 205/40ZR-17 SUMITOMO HTR Z II 17x8 Axis OG Europa SDC

I got some $50 Sumitomos on Tirerack for my current beater because I couldn't be bothered to spend more money on this car. Nevertheless, they have not failed me in the wet, snow or sleet.

they are actually very poor tires. the sidewall is super soft an the compound is far from ideal. i ran these in maybe two autox's an they were just plain sad.
