Tires Vredestein or OEM Volkswagen

Vredestein now definitely has the segment performance leader in the Quatrac Pro for "all-weather" tires available in large wheel sizes and low profile sizes (my wife's new Impreza will be getting the Michelin CrossClimate+, but not available for our Arteon).

I test drove all 3 tire size when shopping the Arteon, don't be fooled, size does matter. As expected, 18 inch has the best ride and the 20 the worst. It was quite noticeable even on the short drive.

Just got a set installed on my 2016 Prius c at 40k miles. Good so far compared to the stock tires, but haven't tried them in winter conditions yet. They seem a bit quieter than the stock tires and they seem to handle better than the stock tires. Rolling resistance also seems surprisingly low, given they aren't "eco" tires like the stock tires were.

Had a set of the Quatrac 4's on the wife's Focus while in Germany. These did well in wet, snow, and ice. Were quiet on the Autobahn and handled very well, totally stable at speed.

Put these on my wife’s car (2011 Sonata 2.0T) and they’re great. Quiet, handle well, do good in all weather. Plus they’re relatively cheap in comparison.

Finally replacing stock ('15 XT) garbage tires and I know nearly anything will be a huge improvement but thanks in advance for any opinions.

Apart from the stock all-season tires being abysmally horrid in the winter (I have another set of wheels with summer-only tires for warm weather), I haven't had any issues with my car and using the go-pedal.

I also put on Vredestein tires b/c factory tires were slipping when I punched it from a dead stop.

Just drove my mk5 through a winter storm. (quite literally) It performed very well! It has identical handling characteristics to the mk6 Golf. As others have said, it strongly depends on the tires.

After some research I ended up with set of Vredestein Sportrack 3.They are summer tires test winners in Germany. Made in Holland, speed rating V, should be really good on wet as you can see.
