They're gonna be good tires. Vredestein has been moving toward the high end market and it looks like they're trying to make a statement with this one, judging by the reviews. I'd say go for them! Honestly if I had heard about these when I was shopping I'd have bought them.
I don't know if it is still relevant, but I put this Phantom on my 2020 Ridgeline, and I’m very happy. I saved at least $200. The tires were a little bit noisy in the beginning but after the first month much better ???? keep road as champ even under heavy rain. Totally recommend this tires!
They are excellent IMO, feel just as good as my previous Conti DWS, but I got these for a much better price, from TireRack. They are a European company, great quality tires, just a lesser known brand here.
Great all year round, I'm in the Northeast, they ran beautifully over the winter.
UHP and very durable, I'm close to changing them after 75.000km
Vredestein Quatrac Pro lasted longest of them brand you consider.
I love the Vredestein’s. It’s definitely a “softer” tire but the grip level in both dry and snow is incredible. You will not be disappointed
I have the vredestiens on my Cadillac CTS, they are great tires. Quiet, great in the rain/snow/icy roads, I've got about 20k on them right now and still over half treadwear left on them. They also have some great dry road performance, very grippy.
I have had no issues with these tires. I assume the people from Norway know how to make winter tires, lol.
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.
I have Costco's version of the Michelin Defender 2 (X Tour 2) on our Atlas and they have been great. I have also used a set of Vredestein Hitrac A/S, they're a great tire until the last half of the treat and they get absolutely rock hard and you may as well be on ice. I just replaced a set with plenty of usable tread left because they had suck little traction. Overall, I would suggest a Defender LTX M/S.
