Tires Vredestein or Kormoran
For Winter tyres, in terms of noise and harshness, the Vredestein Wintrac Pro and Hankook Winter i*cept Evo³ are trading blows with each other. I noticed, that the Hankook is noisier on some surfaces, while the Vredestein is on others. Same with bumps. Neither is crashy though or loud. The noise they make it is also a low tone, so not disturbing.
Vredestein Quatrac Pro All Weather tires were used about 8 -9 months - approximately 6K miles. Excellent condition. 2 Tires have 9/32” wear, one with 8/32" and last one just under 8/32" (new is 10/32)
I put 12k miles on Quatrac Pro tries with my Rav4 Prime - quite happy with them and they are barely worn in. Lots of highway driving as I work from home. They were much quieter than the stock tires and the grip was really good in the wet (it rains a lot in my area).
I immediately swapped the 20's with the OEM Goodyears for 19's with Vredestein Wintrac Pros.
Quatrac Pros. All weather severe snow and rated tops for wet traction to boot.
My cheap Kormoran Snow (Michelin owned) works great in Sweden. Best results on snow, and good fuel economy not so great at the rest.
Update two: went up a half frozen covered in snow hill climb and they did great. Model y dual motor has great traction but the tires handled it superbly. I'm very happy so far
The Vredestine Quatrac Pros have COMPLETELY transformed the ride of the car. I had Falken ZE001s before, which were loud, rough, and atrocious on the freeway over a specific section of road. After we had them installed today, I went and drove the exact same section, and the car feels like an entirely different car now! Gone is the roughness, the noisiness, the weird hums and buzzing sounds, and whines. Gone is the thumpty-thump sounds on the freeway, and the ka-thunkathunkathunkathunk - like seriously it's completely gone even when cruising at going 80-83mph.
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.
I made a mistake of trusting the "independent" and "ubiased" tire rack reviews and purchased a set quatrac pro+. Absolute trash, especially if you value handling, gas mileage, turn in response, comfort and vibration free ride. 2 out of 4 tires had to be replace withing days due to unfixable vibrations and they still arent completely shake free.
