Tires Vredestein or Shinko
- Have been running Shinko 777 tires on my FLHRSI which I'm very happy with, but am going with the longer lasting Shinko 999 tires next.
Vredestein Wintrac Pro, Tire Rack sells them.
I just got a 24 mach-e and will be buying these, I live in Michigan. Had a set on my wife's Explorer and they were grest. Online reviews are great and they are also cheaper than all comparable competitors. Do your own research to be sure but I was very happy, so much so that I'm going to buy them again for my Mach-e. They are also rated as a performance tire.
I got a set of 155 R15 Vredstein Sprint Classics by mail order when they were on offer for about £50 a corner, then got them fitted locally - have been great tyres for my '72 1300.
I have the Quatrac Pro on my Mercedes E Class. I like the ride and handling and haven't noticed any noise in the time that I have had them.
I can say that I really like my Hypertrac All Seasons. I would absolutely buy another set of Vredesteins that review/test well.
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.
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
I've bought a set of quatrac 5 vredesteins for my X5 ... 2.5/3 years ago ... about halfway worn after 25k miles.
To be honest, in the dry ... easy to reach and surpass the adhesion limit at moderate speeds, feel is mehh at best. Quiet tires, decent tread life, comfortable but no where near the advertised levels. Currently during the winter ... moderate snow ... nothing spectacular, slightly better grip off the line than the duellers, fairly predictable, but a bit short on lateral grip ... so if you are braking and trying to cut a corner on snow ... better be awake so you don't end up in a ditch nose first.
I made a mistake of trusting the "independent" and "ubiased" tire rack reviews and purchased a set quatrac pro+. Absolute trash, especially if you value handling, gas mileage, turn in response, comfort and vibration free ride. 2 out of 4 tires had to be replace withing days due to unfixable vibrations and they still arent completely shake free.
