Tires Vredestein or WEST LAKE
Switched to Vredestein on my City ZX21 earlier this year. Wondering why I did not do it earlier!
Just got new tires, upgraded from stock Apollo Alnac 4G to Vredestein Ultrac Vorti, the difference is night and day
We went to an 18” square setup with Vredestein Wintrac Pros and it’s about as good in snow as her previous ‘16 IS300 F Sport AWD
The only "all season" I've ever used and thought was good was the Vredestein Quatrac Pros, had those on a 2016 Jetta sport and even guy that installed them asked if they were snow tires. But those tires kicked ass, and were 3 peak rated
Since your new one is a Vredestein Quatrac Pro+, I’d pick up another Quatrac Pro+ for the rear so both sides wear evenly and you avoid noise/vibration.
I put these on a couple weeks ago and was amazed this weekend just how well they handle in the snow and the cold. They felt a little weird for the first couple days after getting them put on, but now I never expected a rwd sports car to handle so well in the snow. Love them!
Very happy I have the vredesteins a try because I was super happy with them.
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.
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.
