Tires YOKOHAMA or Vredestein

They faired well, especially uphill. Trusted mechanic buddy said Blizzaks were the way to go, but these Yokohamas made me feel in control and handle well on the clear days

Vredestein, best tyre you've never heard of! I'm running the wintrac pros rn and I will recommend them to everyone for winters. Perfect balance between performance and snow use!!

Just got the Vredestein Quatrac Pro tires. Amazing grip and handling. They are an XL tire and they are also rated for extreme winter conditions.

we just installed a set of Vredestein Quatrac Pro tires on my sons 2005 Pontiac Vibe. He absolutely LOVES the tires!! I have ALWAYS been a strong believer in a good set of dedicated snow tire, however these tires seem to be the best of both worlds. I am seriously considering purchasing a set for my 2003 Passat W8!

I bought the Vredestein Quatrac Pro based on that Tire Rack review.

They are the most comfortable, satisfying feeling tires I have ever driven in my life. The ride quality, quietness, and general polished feel are unmatched. They have damn near Michelin A/S 3+ and Conti DWS06 dry and wet traction despite being about 4 performance classes down. They are actually very good in snow/ice as well. Been ripping through the Canadian winter on them with no complaints.

I have Vredestein on my 2008 Infiniti G35X and they’re an excellent all around tire. Highly recommend.

Have Vredestein winter tires on. Drove up the steepest hill in the neighborhood - very very good!

Recently got some Yokohama Avid Ascends after reading some recs on this sub. I like 'em.

also, no comparo w/the Firestones, but I'm on the Wintrac Pros right now, driving in California, and they're fine in warm/dry conditions. I put them on since I'm going back and forth over the passes back to WA, where I am full time. For a winter/snowbird tire that's not terrible in the dry and good in the wet, I can definitely recommend these.

I was a little disappointed with the icy road performance of the Yokohama AVID GT that came on mine.
