Dedicated snow tires are not required, but they do help. That being said, we have 3-peak *all-season* tires on our vehicles (Goodyear WeatherReady) and find they do a decent job and do better than regular all-season tires.
Running Vredestein Wintracs on both, and they are basically unstoppable in all winter conditions. So worth it.
When I changed my Trofeo Rs to Goodyear Supercar 3R’s - that also saved about $1300 and they last 4K miles longer.
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.
For context I’ve got them on a 2012 ford focus FWD, and they’ve absolutely blown my mind with how good they are in the snow. Great tires Goodyear
I'm running the F1 Supercar 3 (not the R). If you're like me and just trying to have a little fun going around the turns, unconcerned about being passed by Miatas, go with the 3's.
My rebate was denied as my invoice failed audit, currently in a battle with Vredestein...also 2 put of 4 tires I got were defective, stay away and get Michelins...
They gave me a new pilot and I immediately noticed these tires were not as smooth, comfortable or quiet as the CC2s I had been used to so for me I would say yes. These are just poor quality tires.
