Tires Vredestein or Giti
If you do get new tires you should consider Vredestein Hi-Tracs. I replaced the oem bridgestones with these and they have been tremendous.
Changed mine to all season Vredesteins (Quatrac). Much better now.
I use Vredstein Hitrac All-season on my 2023 Camry Hybrid. Barely hit my fuel efficiency, maybe .5%. But waaayyyyy better performance is rain and snow compared to my OEM firestones.
I use them on my Camry hybrid. Great stuff, get them
Vredestein Quatrac checks all the right boxes. Replaced my now discontinued Michelin Premiers with them and I like the Vredesteins better. Consumer Reports and Tire Rack also rate Vredesteins very highly.
I have those exact tires, 195/60-15, on my GK. I very much like them.... They could do with a little better grip in dry, very spirited cornering. They eat rain like a champ.
I recently got vredestein quatrac tires on my 2012 fit and have been loving them. They are all weather tires so they are actually rated to handle snow compared to traditional all seasons. In Jersey so have only tested in light snow/ice and they were great.
I just put the Vrederstein Quatrac Pro+ on my 24 Mini Countryman S All4, replacing the Pirelli runflats that were good tires, but kinda loud and you could feel every imperfection in the road. I don't have a lot of miles on em yet, but they are definitely quieter and more comfortable.
Vredestein Quattrac Pros were decent but about 30k miles it looks like. The Vredies I have had a sidewall issue on one. They are well rated bit want more durability.
I have Costco's version of the Michelin Defender 2 (X Tour 2) on our Atlas and they have been great. I have also used a set of Vredestein Hitrac A/S, they're a great tire until the last half of the treat and they get absolutely rock hard and you may as well be on ice. I just replaced a set with plenty of usable tread left because they had suck little traction. Overall, I would suggest a Defender LTX M/S.
