Tires Vredestein or OEM FORD

I've had my '22 FWD XLT since last June. I regularly get 36+ in summer, but only 30 in (MN) winter with snow tires.

If you’re in the Bay Area with limited winter driving go for the Vredestein Hitrac’s. They are quiet comfortable and within surly upgrade your ride.

I replaced a pair of 2013 accord tires with **Vredestein Quatrac 5** and those are serving me well from last 4 years and 15000 miles .

We ended up replacing ours at 25k with Vredestein Quatrac Pro’s from Tire Rack. I highly recommend them.

Installed 4 Vredesteins 2 weeks ago done great in rain, snow, and dry.

Vredestein Pinza AT.

Kept seeing tons of good things, but not actual reviews. Live in Reno/Tahoe area up Mt Rose and have been really happy this big winter ripping around in the snow.

I have EB AWD and haven't changed out factory tires. In southern MN live off 3 miles of dirt roads. Winter has kinda nailed us this year. Maverick handled it all like a champ.

I have the hybrid lariat and I got a set of snow tires on steelies. I have driven through slushy freezing rain/snow this winter and it didn't slide around at all.

Good:

Excellent on ice for non studded

God like handling in the snow. Rivals the Michelins. This tire was seriously impressive. If it wasn't for the drawback I experienced below this tire would be a no brainer

VERY good handling on ice

Bad:

Dangerous handling during heavy rains. Aquaplaned very easily. I had a small light car. If you get these tires, remember this post and be cautious the first few rains until you get a feel for them. It may be that my car that was light for the thread design (2512 lbs with short wheelbase)

Tire wear goes fast on dry hot pavement

Noisiest tire I've had on my vehicle to date

Vredesteins are shit for winter tires, at least in my experience. I had them on my C63, and it was like my car was wearing high heels. It was scary sloppy at 100km+ (60mph+) on the Autobahn.
