"LAUFENN S Fit AS" is my favorite for my M3. This is a subsidiary of Hancook.
I went from the OEM 245/40R19 on my '19 non-R SEL-P to 245/45R18 for winter.
Since I can't get Michelins in the sizes I run anymore, I've switched to Laufenn (by Hancook). It's German for "runner", they are inexpensive and initial performance is excellent.
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.
Great in rain, very good in moderate snow on my Alltrack.
I had Quatrac Pros on my last car. (2014 Mazda 6 Touring). They were quiet and rode nice, but I was underwhelmed by their snow performance.
Routine maintenance at VW dealer alerted me to tire cracks. Cracks would be an understatement. The tires had 14,000 miles on them. They are meant to be under warrantee. The local tire store and I phoned each Vredestein and left messages. I wrote the company three times. No response.
