I have a 1970 VW/Porsche 914, uses the same tire. I've had Michelins for years. About 3 years ago, I bought a set of Vredestein's - 165/15 - and they did not handle well at all.

I have Costco's version of the Michelin Defender 2 (X Tour 2) on our Atlas and they have been great. I have also used a set of Vredestein Hitrac A/S, they're a great tire until the last half of the treat and they get absolutely rock hard and you may as well be on ice. I just replaced a set with plenty of usable tread left because they had suck little traction. Overall, I would suggest a Defender LTX M/S.
I have these on my Tesla Y. Not great at absorbing road imperfections. While they are quite, I do lack confidence in them in the rain and snow.
I have the Quatrac Pro on my Mercedes E Class. I like the ride and handling and haven't noticed any noise in the time that I have had them.
I can say that I really like my Hypertrac All Seasons. I would absolutely buy another set of Vredesteins that review/test well.
They're gonna be good tires. Vredestein has been moving toward the high end market and it looks like they're trying to make a statement with this one, judging by the reviews. I'd say go for them! Honestly if I had heard about these when I was shopping I'd have bought them.
I made a mistake of trusting the "independent" and "ubiased" tire rack reviews and purchased a set quatrac pro+. Absolute trash, especially if you value handling, gas mileage, turn in response, comfort and vibration free ride. 2 out of 4 tires had to be replace withing days due to unfixable vibrations and they still arent completely shake free.
They are excellent IMO, feel just as good as my previous Conti DWS, but I got these for a much better price, from TireRack. They are a European company, great quality tires, just a lesser known brand here.
Great all year round, I'm in the Northeast, they ran beautifully over the winter.
UHP and very durable, I'm close to changing them after 75.000km
The sidewall is thin af on these tires. I’ve had 2 blowouts so far after 10k or so.
