Tires Nexen or Vredestein
A very solid tire for the money. Just behind Michelin, Conti, Pirelli.
Last set I got was Verdenstein. I've been very happy with them. Reasonable price, great grip and surprisingly quiet on the highway.
Been running these on my Q7 the last few winters. I’m in MA and it seems like we rarely get snow anymore, and the dry performance feels pretty on par with my all seasons. Just got back from a trip to VT where it was insanely cold, icy, and snowy and did a fair bit of driving on unpaved unplowed roads with no issue. I even intentionally tried to break traction or get the ABS to trigger and it just refused.
Got some for the SQ5. Great performance in the snow, while still pretty good on dry pavement. A bit prone to aqua planning on heavy rain days. I do find them a bit noisy on dry pavement after a couple seasons though, but that could be a snow tire thing.
I have them on my SQ5. Agree with all the other comments, they’re excellent winter tires.
I’ve got those on my Miata. They’re insanely good, feels great on dry pavement unlike a lot of snow tires, and still performs well in the snow.
Best Winter tire I've had for sure. It's the perfect tire if snow isnt consistant but the cold temps are. Performs wonderfully on pavement while still maintaining excellent snow performance.
They were great in winter, but didn't last as long as I would have hoped. Treadwear Rating wasn't very high, presumably because they're soft rubber for good winter grip.
They're Nexen. Had an inspection done this year and found out they're already down to 2mm, and I noticed recently they all have shallow, small cracks all over the edges. I put about 47,000 km on them over the last 28 months. They're almost 3 years old, how are they already in such shit condition? I'm getting winter tires next week but do I really need to replace my all seasons so soon? How are they cracking already?
I’m barely getting 10k out of my Vredestein tires that TireRack said would be as good as the name brand. They aren’t.
