Tires Vredestein or Sailun

I have Vredestein Quatrac 5 (I think that's the model, not sure if it's still a 'current' tire) on my Alltrack, also an '18 SE. I drove them on some hard pack and a little ice last winter and thought they were good.

I just replaced my stock tires with Vredestein Quatrac Pro tires (205 55R17 for me). These Dutch made tires seem to be quieter and have a better grip than the Falken OEM.

I ran the Saliun Terramax AT for 2 years, 80k km. Tread still at roughly 60 percent and no flats/cupping, etc.

We have put on several sets of Sailun tires at our shop. So far we haven't had an issue with them. Good tread patterns, they balance well, and the value is great.

I've switched back to my "winter" set up, actually just severe snow rated all-seasons. On this setup, I run Motegis MR131s (Super light, inexpensive wheels BTW), with Vrederstein Quatrac Pro 225/50/17s. I now have just minimal wheelspin at wot in second, even uphill, and I'm able to take off from a light without babying it. I can now drive normally. These tires are Y-rated, so not quite the typical all season.

I had the Ultracs on my audi years ago and they very nice tires, expensive but nice.

Bought a set of Vredestein Wintrac Pro for my RS3. Reviews seemed good from what I found on UK sites.

I have them on my small SUV. No complaints so far.

Tires like QUATRAC 5 offer solid performance when new or slightly used. Due to well siped thread lugs and overall spacing of tread lugs, it offers well mannered ride in wet, maybe even in snow. However, based on my subjective experience, after owning many different types of tires, I noticed semi-open outer tread lugs only work until they are worn down to tire bar that stabilizes the tread lugs. Once tread is worn pass that bar, performance diminishes adversely.

Unfortunately I’ve learned my own lesson that the ratings aren’t entirely accurate.

I got the Quadtracs based on the ratings and they are neither quieter nor offer more traction than the stock primacys
