Tires Vredestein or GT Radial
Last set I got was Verdenstein. I've been very happy with them. Reasonable price, great grip and surprisingly quiet on the highway.
Been using GT Radials on our pickups. We mainly do expressway, highway, and city driving, and a year and half in, we haven't had to vulcanize it once, versus our Bridgestone Dueler H/Ts towards the end of its life. Barely even pump up the tires.
Been running these on my Q7 the last few winters. I’m in MA and it seems like we rarely get snow anymore, and the dry performance feels pretty on par with my all seasons. Just got back from a trip to VT where it was insanely cold, icy, and snowy and did a fair bit of driving on unpaved unplowed roads with no issue. I even intentionally tried to break traction or get the ABS to trigger and it just refused.
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.
They were great in winter, but didn't last as long as I would have hoped. Treadwear Rating wasn't very high, presumably because they're soft rubber for good winter grip.
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.
