Tires Vredestein or OEM Subaru
i have the vredesteins on my 2024 oem's. i used it last winter in the east coast. we barely had snow but it performed great either way.
I have the Quatracs for 3 years now and done 55k kms on them. Just now I can feel that they don't grip as well as they used to on cold, wet road. I had the same experience with every tyre after 3 years, so it was expected. I am very satisfied with them.
Vredestein Hypertrac AS. They are an all season performance tire. Drove in all sorts of ice and snow last winter including driving up my mountain of a driveway. They are quiet, handle great and superb in the rain. My subie is a little snow machine, it is pretty amazing.
I'm currently on Vredestein Ultrac Pros and I'm very happy with them. I would say they're 90% of PS4S for 50% of the price. They're quieter and more comfortable than the stock Pzeros. I highly recommend them.
I have found on my '25 SE 4Motion, that just going into the custom section of the menu, adjusting the steering and changing the OEM tires to Grand Touring all-seasons (Vredestein HiTrac) has made a world of difference in control, handling and enjoyment of my Taos.
Been using my Vredstein HiTracs on my 2018 Rav4 for about 4 years now. I was very pleased with the overall performance of the Vreidsteins especially when they were new, handling was fairly confidence inspiring for what my car is, OK comfort, a bit noisy on the highway but all around were a worthwhile purchase for my needs.
I drive a 2018 Subaru Crosstrek, at almost 100k miles and basically no issues outside of tire maintenance. Subaru AWD is top tier as well
I had Goodyear summer run flats that were extremely rough to ride on. Felt every bump and imperfection in the road. I switched to Vredestein Quatrac Pro+ and it rides very smooth. They're also good for the winter. Would highly recommend
I had the Vredestein Sportrac 5 previously.
Positives:
+ Quiet and smooth ride
+ Very reliable on flooded highways
Negatives:
- Soft sides, tires looked deflated at the recommended pressure (2.2/1.9 bar - if the car is not loaded, which is most of the time). If I inflate more the drive gets extreme hard and uncomfortable.
I have not driven a lot of tires but wonder if that soft side somehow dampens accuracy?
- Surprisingly bad at braking on the dry, even at low speed in the city, they slide.
We’ve had a HORRIBLE experience with Vredestein tires. We put them on my son’s Acura TSX, and 20,000 miles later all four are shot and need to be replaced. The front two are BALD. And by “bald”, I mean completely bald all the way across.
