Tires Vredestein or OEM Porsche

Being in the DC market, Vreds are favored by European customers it seems. I put a set on my moms SUV and she loves them. I've never heard any complaints regarding them

I live in Minnesota and got these for my Model Y in August 2022. We have 50k miles, two Midwest winters, and Im buying a second set to replace them now. I could MAYBE get another 5-10k miles but I dont risk it here.

i have been running the Quatrac Pro on my WRX for a couple years now and they're awesome. The Vredesteins are very competent--excellent traction both wet and dry, quiet, and rated for high performance. Good wear, too

Happy with them so far, 1K miles in. Quiet, dry and wet grip for days, decent rolling resistance. Great for warm/hot climates.

Vredestein Wintrac Pro, Tire Rack sells them.

I just got a 24 mach-e and will be buying these, I live in Michigan. Had a set on my wife's Explorer and they were grest. Online reviews are great and they are also cheaper than all comparable competitors. Do your own research to be sure but I was very happy, so much so that I'm going to buy them again for my Mach-e. They are also rated as a performance tire.

I got a set of 155 R15 Vredstein Sprint Classics by mail order when they were on offer for about £50 a corner, then got them fitted locally - have been great tyres for my '72 1300.

I have the Quatrac Pro on my Mercedes E Class. I like the ride and handling and haven't noticed any noise in the time that I have had them.

I can say that I really like my Hypertrac All Seasons. I would absolutely buy another set of Vredesteins that review/test well.

The XC70 had Vredesteins when we bought it and they were ok. We got about 35k miles out of them.

My initial impression of the Vredesteins was, "Holy cow, the rear end is going to swap places with the front." The car wagged and bobbed all over the road. It was scary. After a short 5-mile drive home, I adjusted the tire pressure to 41 psi in the rear (they were at 40 and 45 left/right) and drove around a bit more to break in the tires. Once broken in, they drove much better.

Going straight they're fine and don't notice too much difference between the old EP500s and the new Vredesteins. Maybe the ride is slightly better due to the Vredesteins’ softer sidewall. Noise is about the same—they’re quiet tires.

We get a lot of rain here, and the Vredesteins are great in the wet. They’re better than the stock EP500s, likely due to their less aggressive tread pattern and greater tread depth.

However, corners are where it all falls apart. The initial turn-in is great because the front EP500s, despite their poor tire life, handle well. But there’s a slight delay as the rear wobbles into the corner. You can feel the car load up, and you have to counter-steer slightly to keep the car in line as the rear flops over. While the Vredesteins have good grip, the side/slip angle is so large during aggressive driving that the traction control freaks out in fast corners. When you straighten out, the rear flops back and wobbles a bit.

My wife texted me on her way to work this morning, saying, "The car is wiggling so much I think I might throw up."

Any type of turning has the rear bobbling and wagging around. Bumps in the road will also cause it to bounce around. It's just not a pleasant experience whatsoever.

After driving on them for a while, I’m considering whether running Vredesteins on the front as well might correct some of the handling issues.
