After reading his chart I ordered Quatrac 5 and it’s been a good tire for about 8k miles thus far. My efficiency only took a slight hit.
Oh, and the combination of 4Motion + Vredestein Wintrac Pro tires works perfectly when driving in conditions of freezing drizzle with temps in the high teens and low 20s...
Vredestein wintrack xtreme, en el norte de España, por experiencia propia muy recomendables. Los he tenido en un Audi A8, en un Land rover Discovery 3, los tengo en el Phaeton y los recomiendo sin dudar.
As an alternative to all-out winter tire, the new Vredestein Quatrac Pro "all-weather" tire has received great reviews from both Consumer Reports and Tire Rack
Vredestein now definitely has the segment performance leader in the Quatrac Pro for "all-weather" tires available in large wheel sizes and low profile sizes (my wife's new Impreza will be getting the Michelin CrossClimate+, but not available for our Arteon).
I have the BFGoodrich's linked in this thread on the M3, and they are great. Decent grip, great wet weather pattern, and decent life. Would buy again.
I have these tires on my GTI, and love them - now on my second set. The first set lasted me over 45k miles. They got noisy at the end of their life, but they're great in wet weather, and all around grip is excellent.
Big fan of the BF Goodrich Comp-2 A/S, for all season ability with a sport twist. I’m impressed with their grip in the wet and dry. No clue on treadwear as I haven’t put on ton of miles on them, but they look good after 12,000 miles, and I do like running at a decent clip through the hills.
Good:
Excellent on ice for non studded
God like handling in the snow. Rivals the Michelins. This tire was seriously impressive. If it wasn't for the drawback I experienced below this tire would be a no brainer
VERY good handling on ice
Bad:
Dangerous handling during heavy rains. Aquaplaned very easily. I had a small light car. If you get these tires, remember this post and be cautious the first few rains until you get a feel for them. It may be that my car that was light for the thread design (2512 lbs with short wheelbase)
Tire wear goes fast on dry hot pavement
Noisiest tire I've had on my vehicle to date
Vredestein Quatrac Pro will be my next set. I am so tired of buying Cont, Mich and other high mileage tires that don’t ware even and make noise before tread is gone, then I am stuck with a tire i over paid for and hate riding on. The tread lasts but they never seem to stay quiet.
