Tires Vredestein or IRONMAN
I have the wintrac pro on our GLE, think they’re a really good tire and will probably buy them again. They are also really good in the wet, didn’t have any surprising moments this winter, both in snowy/slushy and wet conditions.
I have the Quatrac 5 on my wife's Civic. I feel like they're kind of noisy, but that's definitely the car's fault to some degree. Otherwise, they ride well and have great grip.
I've been looking for these for a long time and bought a brand new set in January. Great winter tires!
Go with the Vredestein. It has consistently been rated excellent with no drawbacks, whereas the Pirelli has gotten criticized for subpar wet traction.
If you’re in the Bay Area with limited winter driving go for the Vredestein Hitrac’s. They are quiet comfortable and within surly upgrade your ride.
I replaced a pair of 2013 accord tires with **Vredestein Quatrac 5** and those are serving me well from last 4 years and 15000 miles .
We ended up replacing ours at 25k with Vredestein Quatrac Pro’s from Tire Rack. I highly recommend them.
Installed 4 Vredesteins 2 weeks ago done great in rain, snow, and dry.
The brand is positioned in the middle tier in its home market, and the Quatrac Pro is its most popular all-season tire. In Dutch tire tests it tends to end up at the bottom of the rankings, but it’s a popular choice regardless because of its cost and the fact that it’s a comfortable tire that wears pretty well.
Vredestein summer tires but very disappointed by them. Last year they were excellent, this year they went bad. My confidence in rainy weather vaporized.
