Tires Vredestein or Maxxis
Vredestein Wintrac Pros on OZ racing wheels. Under 2k for the set. Fun when it's dry with a 170+ top speed rating. And grippy on ice and snow. I run it 99-98 percent of the time.
I like em. And they ride way better than stock. Didn't have problems last winter but granted it's been a while since a true blizzard.
Oh, I'm also on my third set of tires. If you are looking for longevity for your tires, buy the Vredestein tires. They are the only tire I buy now and they are on all of my cars.
I run maxxis ravagers 700x40 they take a beating and actually roll way better than they look like they would.
Fahre seit 15 Jahren eigentlich nur noch Vredestein, Sommer wie Winter. Gut und günstig. Haben mir immer um die 80-90.000km gehalten!
Vredstein Wintrac Pro. They are great ran them 5 months last season and they still look brand new. Ride great in the snow as well, had my 328xi coupe out in 6 inches of fresh snow in the ground and still coming down and they never slipped or had trouble stopping.
Got Windtrac Pro+ on my Elantra N for the winter. Drove to and from Canada over the weekend, 1000mi round trip, through snow and sleet. Have nothing but positive things to say about these tires! They handle wonderfully in harsher conditions and really help with road noise and pot hole absorption.
I've only driven on them for 30 miles but holy crap are these things amazing. These winters grip better in the cold than the crappy Firestone summers my car came on grip the warm. I'm able to launch a 0-60 with minimal wheel spin and without chirping the tires on the 1-2 shift. These are also softer and quieter than any Blizzaks or X-Ice Snows I've had. They're soft and squishy and compliant. They give a great ride and still retain some steering feedback.
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.
Maxxis have become worse and worse in my experience. I switched to Conti tires, they are soooo much better.
