The Vredestine Quatrac Pros have COMPLETELY transformed the ride of the car. I had Falken ZE001s before, which were loud, rough, and atrocious on the freeway over a specific section of road. After we had them installed today, I went and drove the exact same section, and the car feels like an entirely different car now! Gone is the roughness, the noisiness, the weird hums and buzzing sounds, and whines. Gone is the thumpty-thump sounds on the freeway, and the ka-thunkathunkathunkathunk - like seriously it's completely gone even when cruising at going 80-83mph.
quatrac pro ev were mounted today, I drove 400km subzero mostly dry and so far so good! The seem quiter than the Hankook at lower speeds but they seem to emit a higher pitch at highway speeds, nothing major but I'll definitely play with different pressure levels
I have yoko on mine. Good tires.
I've got the Vredestein Hypertracs on my S60 T5, put about 1500 miles on them, so far so good. They came well reviewed to me from other enthusiasts. Car still breaks traction, but that's the nature of the car.
I’m on my 2nd set of Yokohama Advans for my 16GT. Longest lived tires (60k miles +) I’m willing to live with ever.
I use all-seasons, and I've had Vredestein, Michelin and now GoodYear on a V50. Michelin was the nicest, Vredestein was good too (and very local to me :-)) but bad for mileage.
I purchased the Vredestein Tires a few months ago from Tire Rack. They seem to be a good tire from what I can tell so far. They have performed well in the wet and dry and were sure-footed at high speeds. Compared to the other sets of tires I’ve had over the years, they seem to be one of the quieter ones.
I would go with BF Goodrich KO2s, Falken AT3Ws, Or Yokohama. DO NOT get Goodyears or Mikey Thompsons, Goodyears are about the only tire I commonly replace new, customer buys them, hates them, comes back a week later and replaces them, and Mikey Thompsons, only thing I commonly put them on are people that don’t care about ride quality (People with “Built” Jeep wranglers that are mall crawlers, like they only did exterior mods). The tires I suggested will be on the pricier side but not too bad, they will all last you much longer then cheaper tires would
I've bought a set of quatrac 5 vredesteins for my X5 ... 2.5/3 years ago ... about halfway worn after 25k miles.
To be honest, in the dry ... easy to reach and surpass the adhesion limit at moderate speeds, feel is mehh at best. Quiet tires, decent tread life, comfortable but no where near the advertised levels. Currently during the winter ... moderate snow ... nothing spectacular, slightly better grip off the line than the duellers, fairly predictable, but a bit short on lateral grip ... so if you are braking and trying to cut a corner on snow ... better be awake so you don't end up in a ditch nose first.
Yokohama Geolander M/T 33x11.50. Terrible decision ????. Great for fresh powder but as soon as it gets packed and icy, I regret not springing for something with more contact patch. But damn if I don’t love the look
