I bought the Vredestein Quatrac Pro based on that Tire Rack review.
They are the most comfortable, satisfying feeling tires I have ever driven in my life. The ride quality, quietness, and general polished feel are unmatched. They have damn near Michelin A/S 3+ and Conti DWS06 dry and wet traction despite being about 4 performance classes down. They are actually very good in snow/ice as well. Been ripping through the Canadian winter on them with no complaints.
I have Vredestein on my 2008 Infiniti G35X and they’re an excellent all around tire. Highly recommend.
Have Vredestein winter tires on. Drove up the steepest hill in the neighborhood - very very good!
We have Goodyear WeatherReady Assurance tires on our Acura MDX and they are far and away the best all-season tires I've ever had. They go nearly toe-to-toe with summer tires and also perform exceptionally in the wet, on ice, and with snow.
I got 4 new Goodyear assurance on my civic for about 450 on some sale, through goodyear's website. The techs fucked up my tpms, but the tires are noticeably better than the old ones.
also, no comparo w/the Firestones, but I'm on the Wintrac Pros right now, driving in California, and they're fine in warm/dry conditions. I put them on since I'm going back and forth over the passes back to WA, where I am full time. For a winter/snowbird tire that's not terrible in the dry and good in the wet, I can definitely recommend these.
I have the 225/40-18 Vredesteins on my 7.5R. I can't compare to the Firestones directly, but I'm very happy with the Vredesteins. After breaking them in I'm quite happy with how well they stick in the dry, and their performance in ~8" of snow was outstanding.
They are good, but the tests are misleading here. A Y-rated UHP tire is being compared to V-rated Touring tires. You’ll see those Vredesteins have only a 400 UTQG so don’t expect mileage here as compared to other tires in the test.
Had wranglers on my liberty, as well as my ram 1500
They were fine tires in all conditions. We have 6 months of winter here, and they were just fine in snow and ice.
They weren't particularly awesome in mud, but not awful
Vw has used crappy American Goodyear Eagle LS-2 back on the mk4 and b6 passat days. So crappy VW issues a TSB for abnormal wear rates.
