Since virtually all of my driving is on pavement, I went the running shoe route with a set of the Vredestein Hypertracs. They've been excellent, in the dry, the wet, and light snow.
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.
Ive had ironmans and they were good. Ive had sailuns that were good. Right now i have a car that has 5 yr old Solar brand tires and ive put about 80000mi on.
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.
Anyway, for what it is worth, I tried the 275/35ZR-21 Vredestein Ultrac Vorti+ XL both on and off track earlier this year. It is still a summer performance tire. Off track, I was seeing slightly improved efficiency over the factory P Zero, but the Ultras were slightly noisy on rougher roads (no foam inserts); on the track, for the first couple of laps, they were decent (plenty good enough for spirited driving), but driving to the max lap after lap they got squirrely and very vocal.
Ironmans are garbage. Slipped in any kind of wet weather
