I’ve just installed these on my car last week! I had the potenza s001’s on before that. And I only got 8k miles out of those. They were pretty good except for driving in the wet. I could get them to spin easily. I never had that issue with the oem Bridgestones. I’ve had none of the issues you say with the vredesteins. I’ve put over 200 miles on them already. I find them to be slightly noisier than the potenzas.
I have been running the Vredestein quatrack's on my 2017 Alltrack for over 5 years and 40K miles in that time. The tires still have plenty of tread depth and are very good/excellent in snow. I have an 850ft driveway with a ~15 degree upslope and have never gotten stuck for lost traction over those 5 years. When the time comes, I intend to replace these with the same tire.
I love them. They have excellent grip. I didn't notice a difference when I drove in the rain. Definitely would purchase again. Great tires for the price, amazing if they're on sale. Ultimately I am very happy with them and would recommend.
I’ve put 2 sets of Vredestein AS’s on cars and they are a good tire, performs well in TR testing
Being in the DC market, Vreds are favored by European customers it seems. I put a set on my moms SUV and she loves them. I've never heard any complaints regarding them
I’ve used Nankang plenty of times on my older cars, they were fine. Drove fine in wet, drove fine in dry, no louder than any other tires.
I think it really depends on the car. A fresh set of 13” AR-1 will last 2000-3000km on track on my dad’s Caterham.
I live in Minnesota and got these for my Model Y in August 2022. We have 50k miles, two Midwest winters, and Im buying a second set to replace them now. I could MAYBE get another 5-10k miles but I dont risk it here.
I ran a set of NS2's years ago, they came on my B5.5 Passat. Grip wise they were acceptable in the dry, and pretty poor in the rain. Alot of my customers also ran them back then. I've never seen anything akward happen to one, no sidewall bubbles, blowouts, or failures. They aren't unsafe or bad tires, they were just always at the bottom of their category in terms of performance, refinement, grip, so I never considered buying a set. If my hands were tied in terms of availability, I would feel perfectly comfortable running Nankangs, especially on an application like a Figaro. I would go for it.
Unfortunately I’ve learned my own lesson that the ratings aren’t entirely accurate.
I got the Quadtracs based on the ratings and they are neither quieter nor offer more traction than the stock primacys
