Running Vredestein Wintracs on both, and they are basically unstoppable in all winter conditions. So worth it.
I thought it was amazing on snows. I remember charging down Big Pines Highway in a driving snowstorm feeling like I was in a rally stage, it just had grip and traction for days with my Vredestein Wintrak Pros
These look like Vredestein quatracs, which are an excellent all season/all weather tire. They are not a winter tire though. Much better in winter conditions than the 3 season tires which are standard in the US, but not as good as a winter tire.
I went the all-weather route and run Vredestein Quadtrac Pro+ tires. This snowstorm was my first time trying them out in anything more than a dusting and they handled great! I had grip for days in everything other than super thick slush, and with a bit of caution that was no issue either.
Eu am avut Vredestein de iarn\u0103 \u0219i am mers 60000 cu ele var\u0103 \u0219i iarn\u0103,dac\u0103 ma\u0219ina e reglat\u0103 bine la unghi,nu ai treab\u0103,vara bine\u00een\u021beles nu e\u0219ti la F1
You can get a good all weather tire with 3PMSF rating for less than the CC2s. See Vredestein Quadtrac Pro, Falken Aklimate, and Altimax 365AW. All of these will be cheaper than the Michelins but will provide long tread life and good performance in snow + cold temps. I put the Quadtrac Pros on my mom's Impreza a couple years ago (Chicagoland area) and they've been great. So much better than the Firestone FT140s it came with from the factory.
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.
I have a fifth BBS CH on my GTI, I probably should change that tire with a new 225/40/18...I've used it a few times already since I bought a used dunlop tire back in 2013ish sometime when I went to all the used tire shops in the area to get that tire.
Verdesteins that i put on my q7 were trash. All 4 went bald within 20k miles !!
Nekem a Vredesteint ajánlottak. Nekem nem jött be, 2 év után elkezdett a futofeluletbol letoredezni a hajtott keréken, pedig az autó sem erős (126le szívó benzin) és én sem vezeték sportosan.
