Tires Vredestein or Achilles

I personally bough VREDESTEIN HYPERTRAC tires from there and I am having them installed by Express Tire Saline (1st time customer).

Put a set of new Vredestein Quatrac Pro tires a couple months ago without issue. No alignment done.

If you’re looking for a good budget tire, have a look at the Achilles atr sport 2 tires. Got a set last summer and they grip awesome.

As for my Arteon I bought these 6 months ago and I absolutely love them. They're made in Norway and are all season but they're also severe snow rated and I can confirm they perform way better than most all seasons in the snow. Super quiet grand touring tire.

I have them on my 2019 Audi A4. We often have clear roads in the winter here in Boston, so I buy performance winter tires. The Wintracs have been excellent. They are fairly quiet and they handle well in all of the winter conditions that I’ve encountered.

My V60PE has Vredstein Wintrac Pros .. have not used them in the snow, but they feel great in the dry. Not summer performance tires, but stable and drive really well.

These are a great tire and maintain the proper OD on a 15x7 wheel

12000 miles on vredestein hitrac as 245/60/18 on my car. Love them so far.

Tires like QUATRAC 5 offer solid performance when new or slightly used. Due to well siped thread lugs and overall spacing of tread lugs, it offers well mannered ride in wet, maybe even in snow. However, based on my subjective experience, after owning many different types of tires, I noticed semi-open outer tread lugs only work until they are worn down to tire bar that stabilizes the tread lugs. Once tread is worn pass that bar, performance diminishes adversely.

They suck lol. They are loud, they hyrdoplane like a motherfucker, grooved pavement like overpasses makes them do this weird shimmy thing, and they wear quick. They cause the ABS to kick on super early, and lose traction fast.
