Tires Vredestein or GISLAVED

Had them on our Pilot a few years back. Loved them. I would purchase again.

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

I had a very good experience with the Gislaved Nordfrost 100s. They were fairly priced, they have a crazy amount of tread for a tire, and their performance was very good.

Gislaved Nord Frost 200 factory studded tires.

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.

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.

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