Tires Toyo or Vredestein

You have at least three I would replace ASAP. Since you drive a lot you need them to keep you safe. Ask them to give you an out the door price and keep the good firestone if you need a spare. The Toyo Open Country tires are a great replacement and road hazard resistant upgrade.

I’ve just installed these on my car last week! I had the potenza s001’s on before that. And I only got 8k miles out of those. They were pretty good except for driving in the wet. I could get them to spin easily. I never had that issue with the oem Bridgestones. I’ve had none of the issues you say with the vredesteins. I’ve put over 200 miles on them already. I find them to be slightly noisier than the potenzas.

I have been running the Vredestein quatrack's on my 2017 Alltrack for over 5 years and 40K miles in that time. The tires still have plenty of tread depth and are very good/excellent in snow. I have an 850ft driveway with a ~15 degree upslope and have never gotten stuck for lost traction over those 5 years. When the time comes, I intend to replace these with the same tire.

I love them. They have excellent grip. I didn't notice a difference when I drove in the rain. Definitely would purchase again. Great tires for the price, amazing if they're on sale. Ultimately I am very happy with them and would recommend.

I highly recommend the Toyo Celsius 2, it’s honestly the closest thing to a designated snow tire you can get. Toyo Celsius is built with double steel belts down the side wall and beautifully directed sipes to help your car navigate snow, ice, rain etc. It is a Three Peak Mountain Snowflake rated tire qualified for severe snow conditions. Summer or winter this tire delivers driving comfort, wet weather grip and traction for heavy or light snow. It’s a true year round tire capable of navigating all weather.

Bit late, but I've ran Extensa HP II's on my car for the last 45,000 miles and just bought another set as my tread is down to the wear indicators. Wife's Passat also has the same tires. They've been great.

I’ve put 2 sets of Vredestein AS’s on cars and they are a good tire, performs well in TR testing

Being in the DC market, Vreds are favored by European customers it seems. I put a set on my moms SUV and she loves them. I've never heard any complaints regarding them

The Toyo open county tires from the factory are loud but I was warned about that.

Once to use when I had a new Toyo tire with less than 5k miles fail.
