The Vredestine Quatrac Pros have COMPLETELY transformed the ride of the car. I had Falken ZE001s before, which were loud, rough, and atrocious on the freeway over a specific section of road. After we had them installed today, I went and drove the exact same section, and the car feels like an entirely different car now! Gone is the roughness, the noisiness, the weird hums and buzzing sounds, and whines. Gone is the thumpty-thump sounds on the freeway, and the ka-thunkathunkathunkathunk - like seriously it's completely gone even when cruising at going 80-83mph.
quatrac pro ev were mounted today, I drove 400km subzero mostly dry and so far so good! The seem quiter than the Hankook at lower speeds but they seem to emit a higher pitch at highway speeds, nothing major but I'll definitely play with different pressure levels
Cooper's are good tires. I'm sure it varies model to model, but I find the ST Maxx far better than the KO2s I had.
Cooper makes a good tire, I am running a set of them at the moment actually... I wouldn't hesitate on those and would take them new over a used Michelin or Goodyear with 50% tread any day
Got rid of mine at 22k miles and put Cooper AT3 4S all terrains on in beginning of ‘21. Have 36k on the Coopers and they’re doing just fine. Will never buy Goodyears and I like having tires that were made in the USA.
I've got the Vredestein Hypertracs on my S60 T5, put about 1500 miles on them, so far so good. They came well reviewed to me from other enthusiasts. Car still breaks traction, but that's the nature of the car.
I use all-seasons, and I've had Vredestein, Michelin and now GoodYear on a V50. Michelin was the nicest, Vredestein was good too (and very local to me :-)) but bad for mileage.
I purchased the Vredestein Tires a few months ago from Tire Rack. They seem to be a good tire from what I can tell so far. They have performed well in the wet and dry and were sure-footed at high speeds. Compared to the other sets of tires I’ve had over the years, they seem to be one of the quieter ones.
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
Buyer beware. Stay away from these Pep Boy exclusive tires. My wife was drawn in by the "buy 3 get 1" promotion and bought the Cooper Adventure tires for her minivan. These are the worst tires that we've ever had. The tires could not be balanced correctly.
