These are awesome tires. I have them on my M3P and they don’t give up dry handling much while being a beast in the cold/snow.
The vredestein hypertrac all season was on sale and ratings was on par with michelin and continental. After testing them out i bought another set for the future. 2 sets of 4 hypertrac tires for $1050. Thinking about stocking up and buying a 3rd set.
I replaced my great condition hankook run flats with cheapo firestone weathergrips and they are better in every way. Warm weather, cold weather, rain, snow.. Better traction and ride comfort across the board.
I like firestone firehawk indy 500. summer tire. sticky. reminds me of the old yokohama S.Drive. Plenty of grip wet or dry, and in dry it's the only one that's let me put down full power coming out of a corner without going all spastic or lighting the traction control lamp.
They are quiet and smooth riding. I think they are a bit softer than your standard all season, so in Florida they will wear fast.
Put Firestone Destination AT2s on mine. Great tire and good meaty look. The positive is that fuel economy only went down by 2 to 24.7 from 26.7.
I have had the Winterforce ones for a couple years now. They seem to be good tires.
I recently put the Vredstein Quatrac pro+ tires on my Golf R and finally got to test them in snow this past weekend and they too were excellent in the snow. The roads were covered in snow and ice and it dumped over the weekend, great tire and they had the right size for my golf unlike the cross climates. These tires seem to be a bit sportier in dry handling as well, with a Y speed rating, wet traction has also been awesome. I don’t have a ton of mile on the tires but based on my experience so far, including in the weather, I’d recommend them.
The Firestone FT140 are annoyingly loud.
Firestone sucked for the majority of the season. Not only have their hard/soft offerings missed the mark, but they are now completely willing to show up with indestructible tires which are totally unsuitable for modern competition.
