Tires Vredestein or Achilles
Replaced factory Continental tires with Vredestein Quatrac Pros, which are infinitely better.
I use those exact tires. Unless you’re doing something crazy, they’re really good. I’ve driven them in horrible winter weather to very rainy summer days on the autobahn. They’re the best I’ve ever had.
Actually just got those tires put on barely 2 weeks ago, took advantage of the rebate and good price on tire rack. I wasnt familiar either with the brand but after doing some research they are very well known and liked in Europe, they are made in Holland. I didnt want to buy new wheels til next summer so ended up getting the stock tire size 235 35 by 19 on the stock wheel. i cant speak on how they perform in the snow quite yet but so far so good, they give you a 10-15% stiffer ride specially in race mode compared to my stock goodyear summer tire but i was expecting that. so far so good! Specially for the price im a fan.
I went from the OEM 245/40R19 on my '19 non-R SEL-P to 245/45R18 for winter.
Vredestein Wintrac Pro 245/45R18 winter tires mounted on MSW Type 48 model 8Jx18 ET40 5x112 black alloy wheels with TPMS for 2019 VW Arteon, with tire bags too. Purchased November 2019, used for 25,456 miles with tread depth currently measured with digital calipers at around 5.3 to 5.8mm so about 7/32”.
Review by Tire Rack finds virtually no shortcomings.
We replaced our tires on our LR Model Y at 28k miles. They’re amazingly smooth and quiet. A significant difference from the Goodyear tires which were such a rough ride - so much so that we were considering replacing the suspension!!! The Goodyear tires also had the foam core supposedly to reduce road noise - but the Vredestein tires are quiet without foam! AND they were cheaper as well.
I have them on 19" on a MYP and on my ice car. They very good. Nice with comfort (since they are a touring tire, not a performances tire) and rides over small bumps well.
They lasted 18,000 miles on my 2015 Mazda 6 before I was down to the wires. I mean for the price you get a ..... tire. They are not horrible tires that will be unsafe or that will handle horribly, but they are budget tires that won’t last long and that are loud specially with age.
Vredesteins are shit for winter tires, at least in my experience. I had them on my C63, and it was like my car was wearing high heels. It was scary sloppy at 100km+ (60mph+) on the Autobahn.
