Tires Vredestein or Giti

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.

Giti is an okay brand of tire but personally, I will switch to Michelins once the OEM tires need replacing. And even then EV tires will need more constant replacements because of the extra weight.

Changed to them a few months ago, the wear and tear of these tyres are poorer than the common brands such as Bridgestones, foresee it lasting about 1 year compared to 2-3 years with common brands tyres. My road usage is around 12000-13000 km per year.

My rear giti S2 tyre burst in BKE while driving on the fast lane. It was probably already around 35000-40000KMs. I managed to filter left and get to the road shoulder without damaging my rims. It doesn't take well extreme hot weather.
