Tires Vredestein or Maxxis

I had a positive experience with Vredestein! They performed really well in both wet and dry conditions, and the handling was super precise. What surprised me the most was how evenly they wore.

I have vredensteins on my 2011 c300. They have about 20,000 miles on them and are still pretty decent. They have been awesome in the snow and rain this winter and were pretty awesome in the summer. I've probably got another 10,000 miles of wear, which is awesome for this car.

I put the Quatrac Pro tires on our Model Y about 8,000 miles ago and have been very happy with them. No noticeable difference in road noise, basically no efficiency difference, but much better grip in wet and slick conditions.

I have Vrederstein hitrac all season on my sienna, used it for 8k miles, so far so good. I do notice my mpg is lower by 1-2mpg though.

I have the Winter Tech Pro's on Model 3 AWD and they have been great. They are aimed at occasional snow and ice with emphasis on excellent performance on slushy, wet roads. Had them in an ID snow storm of about 8" that shutdown I-84 and they were great. Not as good as Xice on pure ice and snow but better on the resulting slush and wet. Quieter than Xice or the OEM Primacies on the car.

Não tens nessa lista, mas os Maxxis ME3 também são boa opção. Tive em três carros e não tenho razão de queixa

I have a set of Quatrac Pros on my car. Just passed 43k miles on them. I have nothing but positive experiences with these tires.

For Winter tyres, in terms of noise and harshness, the Vredestein Wintrac Pro and Hankook Winter i*cept Evo³ are trading blows with each other. I noticed, that the Hankook is noisier on some surfaces, while the Vredestein is on others. Same with bumps. Neither is crashy though or loud. The noise they make it is also a low tone, so not disturbing.

I ride Ardents for XC and some light trail riding. They're good tires until you hit mud and wet rocks. I recently tried a faster rolling tire but felt I went slower because the grip was drastically reduced. I think they're a good all around tire but they don't excel at any one thing.

Specialized control tyres and it’s not even close.

No it’s not worth the “premium” as they’re not more premium. The spesh tyres are specced on their £14000 bikes, they are also racing and winning world cups, cape epics, short track races, marathons for years with the rest of them. Spesh has led the way with a couple others with FEA and camps set up for surely testing their tyres with a refresh every few years. There is no “premium”. The stickers are fancier on the maxxis. But they’re heavier. Higher rolling resistance. Higher weight. No noticeable gain in traction to account for those either. Spesh offers sworks 120 tpi, softer and harder (T7 and T5 respectively) control tyres. All you’re choosing is 120 vs 60 tpi determining a less or more robust carcass.

A life long sworks 120 tpi snob. I went maxxis aspen and hated life. That’s a gravel tyre. Tore through the Vittoria barzo. Went ikon and they’re a great once was a race tyre now a recreational tyre— but been left for dead with rolling resistance, grip and weight by the competition. Rekon race won’t get a look in from the tyre tests and price and weight. Nah ta.
