Tires Toyo or Vredestein
I’d love to try a bunch of different ones, but I’ve liked the Toyo GSI-6, had a nice sized tire to fit a 19” OZ wheel set I picked up
Actually just got those tires put on barely 2 weeks ago, took advantage of the rebate and good price on tire rack. I wasnt familiar either with the brand but after doing some research they are very well known and liked in Europe, they are made in Holland. I didnt want to buy new wheels til next summer so ended up getting the stock tire size 235 35 by 19 on the stock wheel. i cant speak on how they perform in the snow quite yet but so far so good, they give you a 10-15% stiffer ride specially in race mode compared to my stock goodyear summer tire but i was expecting that. so far so good! Specially for the price im a fan.
Toyo RA-1 - I bought a set of these to run on wet days or when there is real threat of rain. On a dry day, especially with full tread, they don't live up to the other three tires up there. But on a cooler day, especially a slightly wet or wet one, these tires can move. I also find them the easiest of these four to recover from a slide
I did, I upgraded to the Toyo Tire Open Country III A/T. Looking forward to winter ❄️
I went from the OEM 245/40R19 on my '19 non-R SEL-P to 245/45R18 for winter.
I'm pretty impressed so far, they are very quiet for an AT tire and they look cool on a Grandma SUV. MPG difference is effectively zero.
Vredestein Wintrac Pro 245/45R18 winter tires mounted on MSW Type 48 model 8Jx18 ET40 5x112 black alloy wheels with TPMS for 2019 VW Arteon, with tire bags too. Purchased November 2019, used for 25,456 miles with tread depth currently measured with digital calipers at around 5.3 to 5.8mm so about 7/32”.
Review by Tire Rack finds virtually no shortcomings.
The brand is positioned in the middle tier in its home market, and the Quatrac Pro is its most popular all-season tire. In Dutch tire tests it tends to end up at the bottom of the rankings, but it’s a popular choice regardless because of its cost and the fact that it’s a comfortable tire that wears pretty well.
I hated them on the base Turbo hatchback I had previously. Grip was awful in the rain once temperatures dropped.
