Tires YOKOHAMA or Vredestein

I bought these tires based on Tire Rack's review and it is spot on. The one word in the review that stuck with me and I'd have to agree with is luxurious. They feel that way. They are clear to me the best tires I've ever owned. And, I have been driving for more than 45 years. They are quiet, handle really well in both dry and wet.

I like the Yoko Geolanders on my wife's Touareg that we use as dedicated snow tires. They are almost as quiet as the summer all seasons and are good enough in snow.

Yokohama Advan Sport A/S 245-45-19. Stock is 225-45-19. They fit well and the performance difference over stock is very noticeable (handles much better).

Go with the Vredestein; significantly underappreciated tires and an incredible value

If you want something more laid back like tires that should have come from the factory except actually good, it's the Vredestein. More of a cruising tire, really.

I went with 245/45R18 Vredestein Wintrac Pro -- been very happy with two winters so far!

Have about 5k on the Vredestein quatrac pro xl, on the 17" oem wheels (alltrack s), so far I am pretty happy with them. I have driven them through some serious snow and I would say they perform noticeably better than the oem falkens. They handle the dry pretty well too. They don't squeal as much as the falkens did which is nice, I feel like overall just much better traction. These are the nicest tires I have purchased for one of my vehicles so far.

I decided to get the Vredestein Quatrac Pro tires for my 2017 Alfa Romeo Giulia. Great tires so far. Will consider them when I need new tires on my 2018 VW Tiguan.

I bought the avid ascend gt tires about 2 weeks ago. Quiet and smooth ride so far. Comparable to my previous Michelin tires.

A very poor tire, I think if you treat them as summer tires and put on winters or good all season + 3PMSF tires like Michelin Crossclimate 2s, you'll be much happier in the snow.
