Tires Uniroyal or Vredestein

We put all-weather Vredestein tires on my wife’s car, and she was pleased with how they handled last winter.

They said that their customers have really good experiences with the Vredestein Quatrac Pros. I’ve been running them a year. No complaints.

I'm a fan of the Uniroyal Laredo HT. Uniroyal is owned by Michelin but you'll save upwards of 75 bucks or more per tire.

Uniroyal has been a great tire for 130 years too

Loving my Vredestein Hitracs. Feel great, super quiet and cushy, but still really grippy and confidence-inducing in the rain or in corners.

Vredenstein. Have Quatrac Pros on my V60 PE and they’re better than Michelin all seasons I’ve used.

I have Vredestein QUATRAC PRO XL 98Y on my V60, really like them so far

After looking on tire rack and having some more conversations with my shop I’m going to go with the Verdestein Quatrac Pro’s slightly lower scores in some of the categories than the CrossClimates but still look like a highly rated tire and gonna save me close to $300

I had them on my wife’s XC70. They’re a pretty good tire.

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

We no longer sell or recommend vredestein. Saw a lot of issues with tread wear and blow outs on 40 series or less sidewall.
