Tires Pirelli or Vredestein
Also running Vredestein Quatrac Pro in a wet state that gets some snow too. Excellent all-rounder.
I am running Vredestein Quatrac Pro. Super comfy ride but still pretty sporty for a all-season tire. I would not hesitate to buy another set of Vredestein tires, all seasons or not!
Pirelli run flats for the win I’ve absolutely sent it with these tires and they grip amazingly
Replaced factory Continental tires with Vredestein Quatrac Pros, which are infinitely better.
We had two incidents on the freeway where a nail punctured the tires and had to buy new tires and went with Pirelli. After switching the tires we noticed a huge improvement in handling and noise. Toyo tires are very loud when driving especially on the freeway.
I finally bit the bullet and bought Pirelli Scorpion after 37k miles on Toyos.
The difference in ride quality, noise and turning is insanely different. When driving, it felt confusingly smooth and my god when turning, it felt like I was legit gliding. I had insane grip on turns whereas I'd have to tone it down when on stock tires because the grip was always suspect to me.
The inside cabin noise has decreased dramatically for me as well.
From Bridgestone Turanza Eco to Pirelli Scorpion Elects [EU].
Couldnt be happier with the switch. Just a tiny bit more noisy then the turanza, but on the grip and feedback its miles better.
I've bought a set of quatrac 5 vredesteins for my X5 ... 2.5/3 years ago ... about halfway worn after 25k miles.
To be honest, in the dry ... easy to reach and surpass the adhesion limit at moderate speeds, feel is mehh at best. Quiet tires, decent tread life, comfortable but no where near the advertised levels. Currently during the winter ... moderate snow ... nothing spectacular, slightly better grip off the line than the duellers, fairly predictable, but a bit short on lateral grip ... so if you are braking and trying to cut a corner on snow ... better be awake so you don't end up in a ditch nose first.
My R6 came with Angel GTs but they suck, so I got supercorsas.
We no longer sell or recommend vredestein. Saw a lot of issues with tread wear and blow outs on 40 series or less sidewall.
