Tires Vredestein or KENDA
Great in rain, very good in moderate snow on my Alltrack.
I swapped my Conti original equip. for these and will buy them again for sure. Quiet and good in moderate amount of snow. Check TireRack for reviews. Nothing will be as good as a dedicated snow tire and I'm sure you know that. Good luck.
I replaced the Bridgestone that came on my Golf SEL wagon 225/40R18 Vredestein's Quatrac Pro. The handling is equal to the Bridgestone's and the ride and nose level is greatly improved. I haven't used in the snow but they are better than the Bridgestones in the rain. Plus they cheaper than many of the other tires.
Kenda Kiniptions on my main city commuter. No problems.
I decided to replace the stock tires on my Radwagon 4 EU with motorcycle tires. Here are some pros, cons, and thoughts. The Kenda's provide a much sturdier ride feel vs the stock tires. I found the stocks were bouncy and balloony, like the bike was on leaf springs. Super annoying. The Kenda tires are stiffer, eliminates cartoonish bounce, and ride feels smoother and secure.
Bought a separate set of winter wheels, sensors, and tires (Vredestein Wintrac Pro) from Tire Rack. Otherwise just regular maintenance. Driven over 65k miles so far, almost all of it chasing snow throughout New England.
ive had a great experience with the vredestein quadtrac pro. caveat that it was purchased for its snow/winter capability but in the dry and rain its been very solid too
I personally bough VREDESTEIN HYPERTRAC tires from there and I am having them installed by Express Tire Saline (1st time customer).
I'd do a SpeedKing 2.2 rear with a Kenda Sabre Pro TR 2.4 front.
Vredestein Quatrac Pro will be my next set. I am so tired of buying Cont, Mich and other high mileage tires that don’t ware even and make noise before tread is gone, then I am stuck with a tire i over paid for and hate riding on. The tread lasts but they never seem to stay quiet.
