Tires Vredestein or GENERAL TIRE
General GMax RS. Cheap and grippy, not too noisy and they do well in the rain.
Vredstein is a great tire. I ran them in quite a few audis. the best winter tires I ever ran
I have a set of Quatrac Pros on my Audi. I like them. TireRack reviews of them are great. And the sidewall is cool.
A friend uses a set for snow tires on his Lexus LS. He had Blizzaks prior. His only complaint is that they are getting pretty noisy as they wear down. Otherwise he likes them.
I've enjoyed them on my RS3 last winter. Much better than ice & snow Blizzaks, but this is my first experience with a performance winter tire.
I bought a set of these for the wifes EOS maybe 2 years ago from tirerack and they made a huge improvement compared to what she had, i think kumho's. Less road noise, more grip all around.
I put a set of Vredestein Quatracs on my wife's MB E350 4matic. They absolutely transformed the car for the better. I'd like to find some for my GTI. I highly recommend them.
I'm on the second summer for the General Gmax RS that got installed on our 2014 Mustang and honestly for the price i couldn't be happier. They are quiet, grippy and great in the rain.
I've put well over 50k miles on mine. Currently I'm right around 5/32nds maybe closer to 4. They did great in snow and rain up until this past winter and spring. Outside of thinking I had a bad wheel bearing, I'm thinking I'm starting to hear some more road noise. It's been relatively a great tire. They've worn evenly and didn't seem to effect any fuel economy.
I use General RT43's on all my cars. Good budget all season that is also (relatively) good in snow. Not pilot sports, but dont drive like an idiot and they won't do anything funny to you. Dealt with everything from a foot of snow to hydroplaning conditions, never had them do anything scary to me.
Wear is good, grip is good, handles a variety of weather conditions well enough, and never had a manufacturing defect on the 16 tires ive owned. IMO from the research ive done and my experience, they are the bang for the buck of any tire out there.
