I just got some Sumitomos replaced with about 40,000 mi on them which probably still had 20 to go and were still gripping great but just a little bit noisy. They are the parents company of Falken. They are a great brand as far as longevity and grip. I'm currently using Laufenn which are a sub brand of Hankook which cost me under $90 a corner and I am so pleased that I'm considering putting them on my second car. This mid-tier brand has been just as if not more pleasant in the realm of noise and on center road feel at speed than Michelin Defenders I had just a month ago on a car we sold. My Laufenns will probably have only half of the tread life of the Michelins I used to have, but at only half the price and the feel on the road is identical but I'm sure the performance is a little bit less. We do have close to bottom tier on a car that is new to us which is a Douglas brand and it'll be good for the next year but it is an unpleasant tire. It's loud and doesn't feel like it tracks well. But it does grip well enough to push the replacement date out a year since they were manufactured this year.
The only "all season" I've ever used and thought was good was the Vredestein Quatrac Pros, had those on a 2016 Jetta sport and even guy that installed them asked if they were snow tires. But those tires kicked ass, and were 3 peak rated
Since your new one is a Vredestein Quatrac Pro+, I’d pick up another Quatrac Pro+ for the rear so both sides wear evenly and you avoid noise/vibration.
I put these on a couple weeks ago and was amazed this weekend just how well they handle in the snow and the cold. They felt a little weird for the first couple days after getting them put on, but now I never expected a rwd sports car to handle so well in the snow. Love them!
Very happy I have the vredesteins a try because I was super happy with them.
dude i also run these! I love them, def doesn't seem like they get much attention or consideration but they are awesome and i feel so confident in winter with these on the car, im on my third winter with them!
I\u2019ve got these on my ND as well. Absolutely love them. They perform great in the snow, and aren\u2019t too soft and mushy when it\u2019s dry.
Absolutely blown away by how confidence inspiring this car becomes in the winter with these on! We just got a few inch dusting and the stability is absolutely fantastic - this is my first time driving a RWD sports car in inclimate winter weather/temps, but seriously, this feels better than pretty much any other car I've driven with all seasons in this kind of weather. These tires shred in the snow.
I posted something similar today, is this a tyre brand specific issue or a coincidence Context I'm using same verdestein centuro.
My rebate was denied as my invoice failed audit, currently in a battle with Vredestein...also 2 put of 4 tires I got were defective, stay away and get Michelins...
