Tires Nexen or Vredestein
New rubber today, Vredestein hypertracs, good tire ????????
I bought Vredestein Wintrac Pro and have really liked them. I live in western Massachusetts and have a very long gravel driveway up a steep hill. The tires are great and get very good ratings.
Had the Wintrac Pro on my Type R for the past 5 winters and drove them for about 50000km all through central Europe and southern Scandinavia. Never had issues with them, both in the wet and in the snow.
I have the wintrac pro on our GLE, think they’re a really good tire and will probably buy them again. They are also really good in the wet, didn’t have any surprising moments this winter, both in snowy/slushy and wet conditions.
I was Super curious about these tires because they look good and second was was the fact that the hybrid community was giving high praise to these tires. 1. They look great ???? 2. The efficiency is indeed high. I went from 3.7mi/kwh to a solid 4mi/kwh. I really like these tires now. The reviews were no joke. These tires have better "range" than the Michelin Energy Saver that they replaced. Some people look down on these "off-brand" tires as they want something more expensive and a name brand. These tires are just fine.
I had a set on a 2006 Mini Cooper sjcw 215 40 17s now the ride was harsh and stiff but let me tell you you hit a turn you'll come out of it with the biggest shit eating grin on your face you ever could think of. For the price I'd call it a best bang for your buck tire so since you got them drive them you'll see they're pretty good.
I have the Quatrac 5 on my wife's Civic. I feel like they're kind of noisy, but that's definitely the car's fault to some degree. Otherwise, they ride well and have great grip.
Last set of tires I bought were by Nexen.... pretty good tire, wore well.... got about 36k on them, will be due for new in the fall.
I've used Nexen All Seasons and they weren't bad, not the best tires but for the price they were pretty good.
Vredestein Quatrac Pro will be my next set. I am so tired of buying Cont, Mich and other high mileage tires that don’t ware even and make noise before tread is gone, then I am stuck with a tire i over paid for and hate riding on. The tread lasts but they never seem to stay quiet.
