I think in my case where my Toyota Sprinter is a 5MT 4WD vehicle (with a center locking diff i might add ????), the Vredesteins are my favorite. In the other 3 seasons of the year where there is no snow, they are excellent in the wet, they are relatively quiet and i enjoy how they perform with more "spirited" driving.
Goodyear Trailmark ATs bought from Walmart. Lasted me almost 6 years. Replacing due to normal wear and tear. Tread is nowhere near bald.
I'm on my second set of these and they compare in ride quality to my last set of Goodyear eagle sport tires. Decent tires specially at the price point.
Just had goodyear assurance weather ready 2s installed on my cx5. After using for a week in mild snow and ice I have found the traction outstanding. I think they are a firmer ride but next to insignificant. I would highly recommend them even from the short time I've used them. I was seriously surprised by the winter traction.
I’d recommend going with Goodyear assurance WeatherReady 2. It’s an excellent tire for all weather conditions
So far, the new WR2's are a totally different beast than the original WR's - FAR better traction, braking, and the one thing that really disappointed me with the original WR's was lateral stability in slippery conditions (the old WR's always would slide out in corners without much speed). The new WR2's are a MASSIVE improvement.
The new Goodyear WeatherReady 2 is one of the best rated all-weather tires this year.
I have them. Great tires. But they reduced my efficiency. Very grippy.
I have a 1970 VW/Porsche 914, uses the same tire. I've had Michelins for years. About 3 years ago, I bought a set of Vredestein's - 165/15 - and they did not handle well at all.
I have Costco's version of the Michelin Defender 2 (X Tour 2) on our Atlas and they have been great. I have also used a set of Vredestein Hitrac A/S, they're a great tire until the last half of the treat and they get absolutely rock hard and you may as well be on ice. I just replaced a set with plenty of usable tread left because they had suck little traction. Overall, I would suggest a Defender LTX M/S.
