I run VREDESTEIN QUATRAC PROs all year. They are technically all seasons but are severe snow rated. I drive all over the UP and they have been great. I’m in a FWD tiny car too. No issues since switching.
I have used these for years and they offer great performance in the dry or snow
I’m a winter tire guy. Have been since my MK6 TDI. I’ve never been stuck. With the manual transmission and grabby tires, I just rip through that shit. Vredstein set for me. “Performance” winter set.
I did not end up purchasing Vredestein (I was considering the HT), but it was the only tire I felt was worth the money below $250/tire that I was looking at, which was Continentals, Pirellis, and MIchelins. Agree they rate much better than similarly or cheaper-priced tires in most rankings.
I’ve got a plug in the same spot on some BFGs and it’s held fine.
I replaced the BF Goodyears on my '68 convertible last year. They were 36 years old. They had about 5k miles on them. They looked brand new inside and out. They have been inside for 99.9% of their life. The same tires are on my '70 Mach 1, at 32 years. Are the new BFGs I put on going to last 36 years, or is the quality not the same?
Been on 285/75/16 ko2s for 4 years. I also have a four wheel camper I use in summer, I tow my seadoo too. Separately most of the time but sometimes both. No regear. I run sport 4 with ect on. I can run 70-75, you gotta work her on the passes though. But my trucks been great.
Anyway, for what it is worth, I tried the 275/35ZR-21 Vredestein Ultrac Vorti+ XL both on and off track earlier this year. It is still a summer performance tire. Off track, I was seeing slightly improved efficiency over the factory P Zero, but the Ultras were slightly noisy on rougher roads (no foam inserts); on the track, for the first couple of laps, they were decent (plenty good enough for spirited driving), but driving to the max lap after lap they got squirrely and very vocal.
We’ve had a HORRIBLE experience with Vredestein tires. We put them on my son’s Acura TSX, and 20,000 miles later all four are shot and need to be replaced. The front two are BALD. And by “bald”, I mean completely bald all the way across.
with the balancing issues on the KO3 I decided to switch it up this year.
