Tires YOKOHAMA or Vredestein
I just picked up a set of Yokohama Avids from Tire Rack mounted to Sparco Terras. Look great, quiet tires with excellent light snow traction.
Quatrac Pros are the sport/uprated version of the Quatrac 5, which get great reviews for all-weather traction (being 3 peak mountain snowflake rated) and overall good performance.
Success! Staggered with Yokohama Advan Sport A/S on the front, Achilles ATR Sport on the back. Fr: 245/45R18 Rr: 275/40R18\u200b Looks great, no fitment/backspace issues, runs great. Can definitely feel a much tighter back end on turns. On some new black top on 422, did some hard insane lane changes at 75 mph and the back end just snapped into place. Funny how theory actually works out. And, of course, the Yokohama's provide much more glue than the Hankook Kynergys. Feels noticably more solid on the road.
I'm going with 245/45R18s in the front, and 275/40R18s in the back (a poor man's AWD hack). The 245s are going to be Yokohama Advan Sport A/S . I found multiple solid reviews, and the AS[SUP]2[/SUP] (s) are supposedly comparable to the holy PilotSports. Great traction, with sidewall technology for quieting. In theory, these should feel like glue compared to the Kinergy GTs.
Yokohama avid ascend GTs. Get them on tire rack and have a trusted local shop instal them. I had Michelin pilot sports on my mk6 from Costco and these are better and cheaper. They’re also fantastic in the rain.
After reading his chart I ordered Quatrac 5 and it’s been a good tire for about 8k miles thus far. My efficiency only took a slight hit.
Oh, and the combination of 4Motion + Vredestein Wintrac Pro tires works perfectly when driving in conditions of freezing drizzle with temps in the high teens and low 20s...
Vredestein wintrack xtreme, en el norte de España, por experiencia propia muy recomendables. Los he tenido en un Audi A8, en un Land rover Discovery 3, los tengo en el Phaeton y los recomiendo sin dudar.
I’ve been running a set of Yokohama Geolandar A/T G015 in factory dimensions year round on my 3.6. They perform pretty damn well in the snow, great in the rain, awesome off road, and they’re quiet.
Unfortunately I’ve learned my own lesson that the ratings aren’t entirely accurate.
I got the Quadtracs based on the ratings and they are neither quieter nor offer more traction than the stock primacys
