They're much quieter than the first round of tires I had on the car (Nitto NT421Q), and probably about as good as it gets in snow without going to actual snow tires.
Pros: much quieter
Vehicle:
Audi Q7
Had a set of the Quatrac 4's on the wife's Focus while in Germany. These did well in wet, snow, and ice. Were quiet on the Autobahn and handled very well, totally stable at speed.
Pros: quiet, stable at speed
Vehicle:
Ford Focus
Put these on my wife’s car (2011 Sonata 2.0T) and they’re great. Quiet, handle well, do good in all weather. Plus they’re relatively cheap in comparison.
Pros: quiet, handle well
Cons: relatively cheap
Vehicle:
Hyundai Sonata
Works pretty well for me. I run 2.3" Maxxis DHR II.
Pros: works pretty well
I got the Michelin Defenders (stock 17\"). Definitely feel better than the Pirelli Scorpion Verdes that came with the car IMO. Tig is quiet and smooth, handles potholes very well, even makes my dirt road seem very smooth and quiet. Rain puddles like they aren't even there. Snow like a champ. Drove in a monster snowstorm this past winter, cars were off the road left and right, plows just couldn't keep up with it... Tig was driving like a tank, non-issue. Summer driving has been fun too!
Pros: quiet, smooth, handles potholes well
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Tiguan
I sure wish Continental ExtremeContact DWS were available. I've had them on a few ICE BMWs and they're awesome tires and work great with BMW suspension.
Pros: awesome tires, great with BMW
Vehicle:
BMW
We've had significant amounts of rain here in the Denver area with lots of standing water. So far, so good with the Gitis resistance to hydroplaning. No major complaints on these tires having logged about 7K miles in 3 months.
Pros: good hydroplaning resistance
Cons: no major complaints
Mileage: 7000 km
I have used that brand i linked before though, and they are ok. I wouldnt put them on a track car or go 150mph in them, but they are fine for your average daily.
Pros: fine for daily use
Cons: not for track car
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
I don't know if anyone has had the same experience with the 270, but my Kenda 280s have been awful on wet roads. Like riding on ice... Truly scary. I guess because the rubber compound is cheap. May not be an issue if you live in a dry climate.
Cons: awful on wet roads
