Tires Vredestein or GENERAL TIRE
Got some for the SQ5. Great performance in the snow, while still pretty good on dry pavement. A bit prone to aqua planning on heavy rain days. I do find them a bit noisy on dry pavement after a couple seasons though, but that could be a snow tire thing.
I have them on my SQ5. Agree with all the other comments, they’re excellent winter tires.
I’ve got those on my Miata. They’re insanely good, feels great on dry pavement unlike a lot of snow tires, and still performs well in the snow.
Best Winter tire I've had for sure. It's the perfect tire if snow isnt consistant but the cold temps are. Performs wonderfully on pavement while still maintaining excellent snow performance.
A set of Vredestein Wintrac Pro+ will run you just $670 on the Rack.
I have General Altimax Artics. Because they are seasonal they last a long time.
The original tires were getting slippery so put in new General all season the fall of 2024. Now handles top notch.
I have 275/35R21 version of those tires on my Ioniq 5N in Canada and they are great in the summer and pretty good in the winter. We just had a blizzard here too and the car handled it fine meanwhile only 1/3 of the people made it to work that day and some had snow tires too.
I do have good experience with true winter tires (General Tire ArctiMax) and I will say that they will still slide even at slower speeds if it's ice and hard packed snow and you're aggressive enough with the controls.
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.
