Tires Vredestein or Maxxis

My private car is equipped with all season Vredestein Quatrac 5, and the company car has 2 sets, the winter being Continental TS860.

Maxxis or Michelin Wild Enduros. I use 2.4 Enduros coming from 2.3 high rollers. The Enduros just stick man, sideways.

maxxis ardent in 26" are decent if you find it in 3C it's a nice tire for trail enduro.

Vredstein is a great tire. I ran them in quite a few audis. the best winter tires I ever ran

I have a set of Quatrac Pros on my Audi. I like them. TireRack reviews of them are great. And the sidewall is cool.

A friend uses a set for snow tires on his Lexus LS. He had Blizzaks prior. His only complaint is that they are getting pretty noisy as they wear down. Otherwise he likes them.

I've enjoyed them on my RS3 last winter. Much better than ice & snow Blizzaks, but this is my first experience with a performance winter tire.

I bought a set of these for the wifes EOS maybe 2 years ago from tirerack and they made a huge improvement compared to what she had, i think kumho's. Less road noise, more grip all around.

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.

I rode a set of these from California to Panama. Would not recommend. The ride quality is decent but these things will find every fucking shard of wire scraps along the road. I got 3x as many flats as any of the folks I rode with.
