Been enjoying them. Got about 400 miles on the set. Yes. 21” size. Getting about 1.8kwh - all city, errands. No real highway. I have a heavy foot and use all the quad motors. So, you will prolly get better efficiency.
I’ve had very good experience with Vredestein tires. Ive had them on Mercedes and Nissan and they were comfortable, quiet, and had decent all season handling.
Am Hankook de 5 ani pe mașina. Sunt foarte ok
Am Hankook și nu am avut nici o problema nici pe gheata, la zăpadă nu mai zic. Anul trecut, in cele 2 zile cu zăpadă din București, nu cauciucurile au fost problema, ci faptul că mașina era prea joasa și mergeam mai mult "pe burta". Chiar și așa, am trecut peste niste grămezi de zăpadă ce erau mai sus decât bara fata, așa că dpdv aderenta, recomand cu toată încrederea!
Középkategóriában a Hankook nem rossz, évek óta, több autón is azt használom,elégedett vagyok vele.
Hankook I-Pikes are the ones I’ve been using recently, absolutely fantastic tires
the VREDESTEIN QUATRAC are 129 and served me very well. great in snow. technically an all season tire and they are a tiny bit loud. great tire though. great lifespan and if you’re having heavy snow and rain they work fantastically for VT winters
Hankooks. Not terrible. At 12k now and the fronts probably needed to be rotated sooner. If I get another 5k out of the set that would be nice.
My initial impression of the Vredesteins was, "Holy cow, the rear end is going to swap places with the front." The car wagged and bobbed all over the road. It was scary. After a short 5-mile drive home, I adjusted the tire pressure to 41 psi in the rear (they were at 40 and 45 left/right) and drove around a bit more to break in the tires. Once broken in, they drove much better.
Going straight they're fine and don't notice too much difference between the old EP500s and the new Vredesteins. Maybe the ride is slightly better due to the Vredesteins’ softer sidewall. Noise is about the same—they’re quiet tires.
We get a lot of rain here, and the Vredesteins are great in the wet. They’re better than the stock EP500s, likely due to their less aggressive tread pattern and greater tread depth.
However, corners are where it all falls apart. The initial turn-in is great because the front EP500s, despite their poor tire life, handle well. But there’s a slight delay as the rear wobbles into the corner. You can feel the car load up, and you have to counter-steer slightly to keep the car in line as the rear flops over. While the Vredesteins have good grip, the side/slip angle is so large during aggressive driving that the traction control freaks out in fast corners. When you straighten out, the rear flops back and wobbles a bit.
My wife texted me on her way to work this morning, saying, "The car is wiggling so much I think I might throw up."
Any type of turning has the rear bobbling and wagging around. Bumps in the road will also cause it to bounce around. It's just not a pleasant experience whatsoever.
After driving on them for a while, I’m considering whether running Vredesteins on the front as well might correct some of the handling issues.
These tires came on my car, so they got the brunt of the new car testing fun. While these were good tires for: noise, efficiency I didn't think I'm going to get these again due to: Hydroplane prone. Winter traction: passable, but not great. Dry handling: again, not great, you could feel the tires wanting to give up in some cornering situations.
