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 bought my miata with some pretty thrashed Falken Azeni RT615Ks on them and they grip pretty good, and even with the tread worn down to the wear bars they're not completely terrifying in the wet.
As someone who has a 04 2wd I can tell you best thing is a good set of tires. I run Falken Wildpeak AT4W's 265 65 17 we have decent snows in the winter I just lower the air pressure and go on my merry way.
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 did not end up purchasing Vredestein (I was considering the HT), but it was the only tire I felt was worth the money below $250/tire that I was looking at, which was Continentals, Pirellis, and MIchelins. Agree they rate much better than similarly or cheaper-priced tires in most rankings.
Love the look of the beefier tires, went with Falken Wildpeak AT4. No lift or level and no rubbing
My wildpeak AT4Ws look great and offer really good grip on and off road. Bad ass tires. Cons are that they’re really heavy so MPG dropped from 24 to 18 highway, and the ride of the tire is pretty bumpy and uncomfortable, from what I understand it’s bc they are load E rated tires, for heavier full-size trucks so the taco can’t really offer the weight to squish the tire down to a comfortable ride. The MPG dropped was expected and I’m okay with it, but the bumpy ride is a bit disappointing. I would buy load C rated tires next
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. And by “bald” I mean BALD all the way across the tire.
