The Vredesteins def looked noticeably bigger (taller) than the Yoko Geoloanders they replaced, but that could just be a worn vs new tire. So far so good other than not looking forward to cleaning them regularly lol.
Since virtually all of my driving is on pavement, I went the running shoe route with a set of the Vredestein Hypertracs. They've been excellent, in the dry, the wet, and light snow.
I put these on my 2024 Ford Maverick....Love them! Great look and feel, very grippy even on wet roads. Recently had a blowout due to me getting too close to a jersey wall (my fault no biggie). Took a chunk out of the sidewall. The tire ran flat with only the remaining sidewall between the rim and the asphalt for a good 100' then gravel briefly. The quality and thickness was evident in how quiet, controlled, and responsive the tire was till I was able to pull over; with no damage to the rim due to driving on it.
If you do get new tires you should consider Vredestein Hi-Tracs. I replaced the oem bridgestones with these and they have been tremendous.
I went with Cooper Discoverer AT3 4S tires on my’n as stock replacement and very happy with my choice so far.
My primary concern was handling of snow and wet slush on the highway and so far this winter they’ve done excellent. The tread design does have a lot small sipes/cuts that work great for just that. Did not notice any increase in noise from them either.
Changed mine to all season Vredesteins (Quatrac). Much better now.
Put them on a 2018 4Runner and they ride way better and quieter than the Toyo Open Country they replaced. They look great and they handle well in dry and wet but haven’t had the chance to test snow and ice yet myself.
Cooper's aren't THAT much more and they're great tires. I got 67,000 out of the ones on my 2003 Subaru Forester XS (RIP) they were at the end of their life though.
TireRack has some Vredsteins. Those arent bad. Better than what Walmart has anyway.
Cooper weathermaster st2 was by far the worst winter tires I've ever ran. Cooper zeon rs3 was the worst summer/all season.
