I've switched back to my "winter" set up, actually just severe snow rated all-seasons. On this setup, I run Motegis MR131s (Super light, inexpensive wheels BTW), with Vrederstein Quatrac Pro 225/50/17s. I now have just minimal wheelspin at wot in second, even uphill, and I'm able to take off from a light without babying it. I can now drive normally. These tires are Y-rated, so not quite the typical all season.
I had the Ultracs on my audi years ago and they very nice tires, expensive but nice.
Bought a set of Vredestein Wintrac Pro for my RS3. Reviews seemed good from what I found on UK sites.
I have them on my small SUV. No complaints so far.
Quatrac Pros are the sport/uprated version of the Quatrac 5, which get great reviews for all-weather traction (being 3 peak mountain snowflake rated) and overall good performance.
After reading his chart I ordered Quatrac 5 and it’s been a good tire for about 8k miles thus far. My efficiency only took a slight hit.
Oh, and the combination of 4Motion + Vredestein Wintrac Pro tires works perfectly when driving in conditions of freezing drizzle with temps in the high teens and low 20s...
Vredestein wintrack xtreme, en el norte de España, por experiencia propia muy recomendables. Los he tenido en un Audi A8, en un Land rover Discovery 3, los tengo en el Phaeton y los recomiendo sin dudar.
Ive had them on the car for 2 weeks not 215/35/18. Yeah probably aren't great in the snow, and they are only rated to H but Im not going above hundred ever. Bid Deal. They do stretch GREAT and Thats honestly the reason why i got them:thumbup:. If you read the reviews they are decent but not crappy by any means. I'm running -2.5 degrees in the rear on air ride and I'm not spending $500-$800 to go through tires in 10k miles
They ARE crap. And that is spoken from someone who has had a set. Two of the 4 developed bubbles in the tread (tread separation) after about 10K miles.
