Tires Vredestein or Barum

I have Verdestein quatrain pro+ on the wife’s car and they are fabulous. Have previously used Michelin premiers as well and loved them.

I’ve run Vredestein Quatrac Pros and Pro+ on two different cars and loved them. They are fine in snow, obviously not a snow tire but better than stock all seasons. Where they really shine is in the rain. One of the best rain tires out.

I ended up getting a set of 19" CX70 wheels from a lower trim level for my Turbo S, and bought a set of Vredestein Pinza H/T tires for those rims. Plus, these 19" tires ride so much better than the 21's!!

Do some research if you haven't heard of Vredestein tires. These things are incredible in the snow and routinely get excellent reviews.

I did the same after a set of Vredsteins (which were still good tires). Much quieter.

My mini cooper (FWD like your Prius) is a beast in the snow with winter tires. WINTER tires, not just all seasons.

Stick with your Vredesteins. I live in the Great White North and swear by the quatrac's. You're not going to find a better value tire.

if you just need tires for street use and not break the bank, vredestein quatrac are the best all season tires i've ever ran (94'). and they worked great when i lived in Oregon and handled snow pretty well for what it was.

I've got these on my Tesla (Vredstein Wintrac Pro XL 235/40R-19) and I've been pretty underwhelmed by their performance in snow. Many of the reviews I read said they're more like halfway between an all-season tire and a true winter tire, and that feels about right to me, as they drive just fine in mild conditions but slide around a lot in the snow.

They had good reviews so I put them on my old car. First I had a problem with bulking on one of them within a year. After that the rest of them showed a severe dryrot after only 3 years and only like 20k km. I sold the car, but would not expect them to be more than 4 years before dryrotted away. I will never get them again, even though I have fairly good experience from the farming world.
