Tires YOKOHAMA or Vredestein
If you're thinking of a grand touring tire, I switched from separate summer/winter performance sets to Vredestein Quatrac Pro 2 years ago and I've been very happy with it. Good performance all year in all weather, still feels connected to the road, wear rate has been good, I'd not hesitate to get them again.
I wholeheartedly endorse yokohamas. OEMish weight, excellent in nasty weather and no excessive noise driving
I drove with budget tires for a long time untill i decided to get vredesteins wich were twice as expensive...but provided much better driving experiences.
Nothing but good luck so far.
I’ve had very good experience with Vredestein tires. Ive had them on Mercedes and Nissan and they were comfortable, quiet, and had decent all season handling.
Yokohama geolander g015, performed amazing in slush and heavy snow and yes they have the 3PMS rating
I had 3 sets of Yoks in the past. I get about 160 runs out of them. Courses are 30-40 seconds, usually asphalt. They were at the wear bars in one season (the 160 runs) and actually corded on the insides first from the camber I run. One of the sets in my garage is completely slick with almost no visible tread left. I prefer tires that wear so you feel like you're using the entire tire. I want them to look like yours in 160 runs or about 25 events so I can get fresh ones in the spring and not have to store them.
the VREDESTEIN QUATRAC are 129 and served me very well. great in snow. technically an all season tire and they are a tiny bit loud. great tire though. great lifespan and if you’re having heavy snow and rain they work fantastically for VT winters
I have a set on my 06 corolla. I remember noticing the floating feeling with these. They do last longer than others. Im looking for a bit more stability without breaking the bank.
They were absolutely terrible on dry packed snow during a surprise squall I got stuck driving in. Not very surprising as that’s really the worst case scenario for all-weather tires—the snow fills the tread and stays there. Otherwise they have been fine, although the seem to be disintegrating in a weird way. They only have 16k miles but bits of tread are chipping off, rather than the tire wearing down.
