Tires Hankook or Vredestein
I’ve been running the pros the past 2 years on the wrx. Going to put them on my wife’s cx90. And I’ll put the pro+ when I need to replace them on the wrx. I won’t put another tire on for a while. Absolutely in love with them. Amazing rain traction and a nice soft sidewall but not winter tire soft, great if you have coilovers. I run a high rate for autocross and these tires have been so comfy. Did great with snow as well. It’s not invincible like dedicated winters but you will never have issues unless you decide to hoon in state of emergency type of weather.
I installed Hankook ION EV AS tires at MIDAS - 25% cheaper than at the KIA dealership and free tire rotation for life. So far, they are great tires.
Vredestein Quatrac (V shaped all seasons) are fantastic tires. The best, in my opinion, in wet conditions. I love those tires, they run perfectly. I highly recommend them. ????????????
I love how the Vredestein Quatrac (the V shaped all seasons) tires behave. They are fantastic tires and the best in my opinion for wet conditions. I would definitely recommend them anytime. They are great tires.
I use them on my C7 S6 in winter. Also had a set of winters for my B7 S4 cab.
Love them.
These have been my go to winter tires for years. Even when worn past the winter compound portion of the tread they are predictable and confidence inspiring in snow. Better than any Bridgestone blizzak or Michelin alpine tire I’ve owned. All having been used in DEEP snow conditions.
I picked up my first set of Wintrac Pro’s last season and even though they got limited use as it was warm-ish with little snow, they were excellent.
Got some summers for my stock 20” wheels earlier this year, and they exceeded any tire I’ve tried before in grip. In particular, at the same time the ride quality for 265/30 tire feels like a 19 or 18. Then I needed to replace my winters (Toyo Observ) so I tried their Wintrac’s and holy shit, they have stiff sidewalls for cornering yet while cruising are like floating on air. Hugely noticeable cornering improvement over the Toyos.
My Michelin OEMs are at 40k miles now and I need to replace them. So far Hankook ION EVO AS SUV tires are my first choice. I'm in Florida so snow isn't a worry, but summers are extremely wet. I'm a little concerned about some user reviews that call out poor wet road performance and worrisome hydroplaning.
My tires sounded like a mack truck. Removed them at 15k and replace with continentals.
