I recently got vredestein quatrac tires on my 2012 fit and have been loving them. They are all weather tires so they are actually rated to handle snow compared to traditional all seasons. In Jersey so have only tested in light snow/ice and they were great.
I just put the Vrederstein Quatrac Pro+ on my 24 Mini Countryman S All4, replacing the Pirelli runflats that were good tires, but kinda loud and you could feel every imperfection in the road. I don't have a lot of miles on em yet, but they are definitely quieter and more comfortable.
My Vredestein Quatrac’s have been great, and are pretty reasonably priced.
I have Bridgestone Alenza AS Ultra on my Toyota Highlander. They have been a great tire, reasonably quiet, good traction in all four seasons (central Wisconsin). Down side, not much tread left after 52k
Bridgestone LM005 or the new version. Very good performances on wet surfaces (they are good in snow also) but the wet is A which not a lot of winter tires have it.
Bridgestone, best on wet from the bunch and durable tyre, allaround great.
The Bridgestones i just put on a week or 2 ago for this season so I don't know the life span on them yet but wet weather was decent (atleast now that they are brand new).
I had the Vredestein Sportrac 5 previously.
Positives:
+ Quiet and smooth ride
+ Very reliable on flooded highways
Negatives:
- Soft sides, tires looked deflated at the recommended pressure (2.2/1.9 bar - if the car is not loaded, which is most of the time). If I inflate more the drive gets extreme hard and uncomfortable.
I have not driven a lot of tires but wonder if that soft side somehow dampens accuracy?
- Surprisingly bad at braking on the dry, even at low speed in the city, they slide.
The sidewall is thin af on these tires. I’ve had 2 blowouts so far after 10k or so.
Vreds are noisy as fuk
