Tires DUNLOP or Vredestein
Got Windtrac Pro+ on my Elantra N for the winter. Drove to and from Canada over the weekend, 1000mi round trip, through snow and sleet. Have nothing but positive things to say about these tires! They handle wonderfully in harsher conditions and really help with road noise and pot hole absorption.
I've only driven on them for 30 miles but holy crap are these things amazing. These winters grip better in the cold than the crappy Firestone summers my car came on grip the warm. I'm able to launch a 0-60 with minimal wheel spin and without chirping the tires on the 1-2 shift. These are also softer and quieter than any Blizzaks or X-Ice Snows I've had. They're soft and squishy and compliant. They give a great ride and still retain some steering feedback.
My current set are Vredestein Hyoertrac All Season Performance Tirea. We had quite a bit of snow last year and I was surprised at how well they worked.
I run VREDESTEIN QUATRAC PROs all year. They are technically all seasons but are severe snow rated. I drive all over the UP and they have been great. I’m in a FWD tiny car too. No issues since switching.
I have used these for years and they offer great performance in the dry or snow
I’m a winter tire guy. Have been since my MK6 TDI. I’ve never been stuck. With the manual transmission and grabby tires, I just rip through that shit. Vredstein set for me. “Performance” winter set.
I've also run these tires for two winters. They are average at best for a winter. Do they get you around safe compared to all season or the oem summers, for sure. But in the world of winter tires, they have pretty bad traction on hard pack and ice.
short life but very grippy, I ended up getting some Pirellis and gave the Dunlop's to a drift buddy for his fronts, and he loved em, granted they didn't last long.
We’ve had a HORRIBLE experience with Vredestein tires. We put them on my son’s Acura TSX, and 20,000 miles later all four are shot and need to be replaced. The front two are BALD.
