Tires Vredestein or OEM Subaru

UHP and very durable, I'm close to changing them after 75.000km

Vredestein Quatrac Pro lasted longest of them brand you consider.

I love the Vredestein’s. It’s definitely a “softer” tire but the grip level in both dry and snow is incredible. You will not be disappointed

I have the vredestiens on my Cadillac CTS, they are great tires. Quiet, great in the rain/snow/icy roads, I've got about 20k on them right now and still over half treadwear left on them. They also have some great dry road performance, very grippy.

I had one of these. I leased a 2017 XT Premium for 3 years. I had zero issues with it over the ~ 30K miles. It was the first new car I'd owned that never had any warranty claims and never saw the inside of a dealer until the day I returned it. I changed oil and filters and swapped out the crappy OEM rubber for decent tires

I have had no issues with these tires. I assume the people from Norway know how to make winter tires, lol.

I have had the Quatrac 5 on my car for a few years without issue.

I haven’t had those but have been running a set of Quatrac Pros for the past three and a half years. They have been good tires. No complaints from me after nearly 44k miles.

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

The sidewall is thin af on these tires. I’ve had 2 blowouts so far after 10k or so.
