Vredestein › Tires

credible_srce 19 Dec 2024, 22:29

Rating 5.0

Grip:

I recently put the Vredstein Quatrac pro+ tires on my Golf R and finally got to test them in snow this past weekend and they too were excellent in the snow. The roads were covered in snow and ice and it dumped over the weekend, great tire and they had the right size for my golf unlike the cross climates. These tires seem to be a bit sportier in dry handling as well, with a Y speed rating, wet traction has also been awesome. I don’t have a ton of mile on the tires but based on my experience so far, including in the weather, I’d recommend them.

Pros: excellent in snow, awesome wet traction

Vehicle: Volkswagen Golf

BRIDGESTONE › Tires

Noise:

Mine came w the Bridgestones - Potenza S0005 - they are excellent. Grip is so good that w UHP all seasons on the difference in grip is really noticeable - this car has such high limits/power that the difference is significant. Yes, the Bridgestones are noisy, especially on the highway.

Pros: excellent grip, high limits

Cons: noisy, especially on highway

Vehicle: Volkswagen Golf

Nokia › Tires

Grip:

Honestly, if you have the option to get the Nokian Hakkas I would grab those. I had Nokian Haakas when I had my Golf about 8 years ago for 4 winters in Montreal. I used to drive to the mountains to go snowboarding with my daughter on weekends at the cottage and never had an issue with driving. We get ice, dumps of snow, slush and just about everything you can get in a winter season that always seems to last forever. Looooooved the Haakas.

Pros: never had an issue

My Winter set up includes Y rated tires, however they are not a Winter tire per Se. They are all season/ all-weather tires with the 3MPSF severe winter rating.

Pros: all season, severe winter rating
