Tires Vredestein or Laufenn

I've switched back to my "winter" set up, actually just severe snow rated all-seasons. On this setup, I run Motegis MR131s (Super light, inexpensive wheels BTW), with Vrederstein Quatrac Pro 225/50/17s. I now have just minimal wheelspin at wot in second, even uphill, and I'm able to take off from a light without babying it. I can now drive normally. These tires are Y-rated, so not quite the typical all season.

That being said the tires are Laufenn S Fit AS. I must say after 2k miles on them I actually think they are great tires so far.

I had the Ultracs on my audi years ago and they very nice tires, expensive but nice.

Bought a set of Vredestein Wintrac Pro for my RS3. Reviews seemed good from what I found on UK sites.

I have them on my small SUV. No complaints so far.

Quatrac Pros are the sport/uprated version of the Quatrac 5, which get great reviews for all-weather traction (being 3 peak mountain snowflake rated) and overall good performance.

After reading his chart I ordered Quatrac 5 and it’s been a good tire for about 8k miles thus far. My efficiency only took a slight hit.

Oh, and the combination of 4Motion + Vredestein Wintrac Pro tires works perfectly when driving in conditions of freezing drizzle with temps in the high teens and low 20s...

I have a st of Laufenns on my old beater Outback. So far, they seem to be ok for routine commuting. Are they performance tires? Heck no, but they do what I need them to do on dry roads and wet ones.

I think you should skip the Vredstreins, they are kinda soft sidewalls and got lackluster results here in Stowe from the local tire dealers.
