Tires Uniroyal or Vredestein
Now I have Uniroyal Rainsport 5 and they also have amazing grip, but the sidewall could be a little bit stiffer for my liking.
I live in Minnesota and got these for my Model Y in August 2022. We have 50k miles, two Midwest winters, and Im buying a second set to replace them now. I could MAYBE get another 5-10k miles but I dont risk it here.
on my 2015 I am riding in a set of Uniroyal AS Tiger paw 225 / 45 / R18. I really like them. I bought them new on eBay with stickers for about $600 (4) and had them mounted and balanced for $200.
We have a base model with no snow mode, but I've had a set of Uniroyal Tiger Paw "Ice & Snow 3"'s on for the last few Winters, and they performed pretty well. I never felt unsafe, even driving through some pretty sketchy stuff.
i have been running the Quatrac Pro on my WRX for a couple years now and they're awesome. The Vredesteins are very competent--excellent traction both wet and dry, quiet, and rated for high performance. Good wear, too
I ended up getting an Uniroyal summer tire for it as it was considerably cheaper than the Conti. Anyway, from tests I gathered that it is supposed to be top tier in wet condition and mid at best in dry. I have used for over a year now as my situation changed and ended up keeping the Corolla for the time being. I used it around 15k km so far in wide variety conditions, from 0 Celsius up to 40 and so far have zero issues. There is no sign of wear and tear, thread is still deep, no dry rot and driving never felt unsafe or had any other issues.
Happy with them so far, 1K miles in. Quiet, dry and wet grip for days, decent rolling resistance. Great for warm/hot climates.
Vredestein Wintrac Pro, Tire Rack sells them.
I just got a 24 mach-e and will be buying these, I live in Michigan. Had a set on my wife's Explorer and they were grest. Online reviews are great and they are also cheaper than all comparable competitors. Do your own research to be sure but I was very happy, so much so that I'm going to buy them again for my Mach-e. They are also rated as a performance tire.
The XC70 had Vredesteins when we bought it and they were ok. We got about 35k miles out of them.
Vreds are noisy as fuk
