Tires Vredestein or RIKEN

You can get a good all weather tire with 3PMSF rating for less than the CC2s. See Vredestein Quadtrac Pro, Falken Aklimate, and Altimax 365AW. All of these will be cheaper than the Michelins but will provide long tread life and good performance in snow + cold temps. I put the Quadtrac Pros on my mom's Impreza a couple years ago (Chicagoland area) and they've been great. So much better than the Firestone FT140s it came with from the factory.

On the truck I have some Vredestein Pinza AT tires which are quite beefy and snow tire rated but also pretty smooth on the highway.

Vredestein Wintrac Pros on OZ racing wheels. Under 2k for the set. Fun when it's dry with a 170+ top speed rating. And grippy on ice and snow. I run it 99-98 percent of the time.

I like em. And they ride way better than stock. Didn't have problems last winter but granted it's been a while since a true blizzard.

Oh, I'm also on my third set of tires. If you are looking for longevity for your tires, buy the Vredestein tires. They are the only tire I buy now and they are on all of my cars.

Fahre seit 15 Jahren eigentlich nur noch Vredestein, Sommer wie Winter. Gut und günstig. Haben mir immer um die 80-90.000km gehalten!

Vredstein Wintrac Pro. They are great ran them 5 months last season and they still look brand new. Ride great in the snow as well, had my 328xi coupe out in 6 inches of fresh snow in the ground and still coming down and they never slipped or had trouble stopping.

Got Windtrac Pro+ on my Elantra N for the winter. Drove to and from Canada over the weekend, 1000mi round trip, through snow and sleet. Have nothing but positive things to say about these tires! They handle wonderfully in harsher conditions and really help with road noise and pot hole absorption.

Ran the Vredestein Wintrac Pro on my S3 last winter. They did fine. About the same as Michelin x-ice snows I had before. A little squirmy if you do any fun driving but that’s to be expected with a winter tire. They did surprisingly well on a frozen lake auto cross for a studless winter tire.

Nekem a Vredesteint ajánlottak. Nekem nem jött be, 2 év után elkezdett a futofeluletbol letoredezni a hajtott keréken, pedig az autó sem erős (126le szívó benzin) és én sem vezeték sportosan.
