Tires Vredestein or OEM Volkswagen
Great tires in all conditions with amazing grip. I've had them since 2023.
I have a 2025 RS6 and for winter I am running 21" aftermarket wheels with Vredestein Wintrac Pro+ tires. Been really happy so far and here in Minnesota we've had a whopping of snow this year.
It’s been about 5,000 miles and I wanted to write a quick review of the Quatrac Pro tired because I couldn’t really find anything. So these were advertised as "all weather" at Les Schwab… not "all season". I will say these are fantastic. I live in PNW and these had done exceptionally well in the rain and puddles. The first 1,000 miles or so was a trip to Montana. It was extremely cold and icy, but the tires still did amazing for non winter tires. That being said, the range did take a hit. Also I am not one to notice the road noise, I don’t really pay attention to that, but these seem quieter than the stock tires. Anyway 10/10 would buy again.
I have a MK6 and it handles great on snow with winter tires.
I know [these](https://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires.jsp?tireMake=Vredestein&tireModel=Wintrac+Pro%2B&partnum=54VR9WTPPXL&autoMake=Ford&autoYear=2025&autoModel=Mustang+GT&autoModClar=255%2F40-19) aren't the cheapest thing out there but I have them on my ‘25 GT and they are great in the snow. Haven't had 1 issue since I put them on the beginning of November.
I put Vredestein Wintrac Pro+ on my '25 SS. So far they have proven to be quite planted. I did notice a slight drop in range, but it's worth it for the better confidence on the road.
I’m in CNY. I took delivery of mine earlier this week and brought a new set of Vredestein Wintrac Pros for the dealer to mount before I even left the lot.
I went with vredestein. Vredestein feels better to me, I do wish I had done for blizzaks because they're just so damn good, but my generations survived being put on the wrong damn direction for an entire season and there is no universe where I have problems in the snow. They were a great budget buy while still maintaining sport sidewalls and handling. 9/10 for me could be better dry grip but hey that's winter tires
They were great in winter, but didn't last as long as I would have hoped. Treadwear Rating wasn't very high, presumably because they're soft rubber for good winter grip.
They're crap. Had them new in '21 and was ready to ditch them first winter. We run Vredestein Quatrac Pro+ all seasons and they are phenomenal.
