Tires Vredestein or KENDA
I bought these tires based on Tire Rack's review and it is spot on. The one word in the review that stuck with me and I'd have to agree with is luxurious. They feel that way. They are clear to me the best tires I've ever owned. And, I have been driving for more than 45 years. They are quiet, handle really well in both dry and wet.
i have 20 x 1.75 kenda commuter tires. i usually fill them to about 40-45psi, i think the side wall says 40-60 psi?
Go with the Vredestein; significantly underappreciated tires and an incredible value
If you want something more laid back like tires that should have come from the factory except actually good, it's the Vredestein. More of a cruising tire, really.
I went with 245/45R18 Vredestein Wintrac Pro -- been very happy with two winters so far!
Have about 5k on the Vredestein quatrac pro xl, on the 17" oem wheels (alltrack s), so far I am pretty happy with them. I have driven them through some serious snow and I would say they perform noticeably better than the oem falkens. They handle the dry pretty well too. They don't squeal as much as the falkens did which is nice, I feel like overall just much better traction. These are the nicest tires I have purchased for one of my vehicles so far.
I decided to get the Vredestein Quatrac Pro tires for my 2017 Alfa Romeo Giulia. Great tires so far. Will consider them when I need new tires on my 2018 VW Tiguan.
I had 35" Kenda MTs on my JK. I got 80,000 miles out of them . The only reason I didn't replace them with Kenda was because there were none available at the time I needed new tires. I never had issues balancing them and I prefer how they performed off road over my current tires. The Kenda's cleaned out better.
I've bought a set of quatrac 5 vredesteins for my X5 ... 2.5/3 years ago ... about halfway worn after 25k miles.
To be honest, in the dry ... easy to reach and surpass the adhesion limit at moderate speeds, feel is mehh at best. Quiet tires, decent tread life, comfortable but no where near the advertised levels. Currently during the winter ... moderate snow ... nothing spectacular, slightly better grip off the line than the duellers, fairly predictable, but a bit short on lateral grip ... so if you are braking and trying to cut a corner on snow ... better be awake so you don't end up in a ditch nose first.
Kenda is shit when you skid regurarly. I had one and I could see the yellow rope all around the tire after 2 days.
