What drivers say about their 275/55 R20 tires
The most recent owner reviews fitted in this size, in their own words.
Have had these on my truck for about 2yrs. Only done about 10k on them however, I love them. Great looking tire on my truck. Amazing dry & wet grip. Far better than the Mickey Thompson on it previously.
Very quiet, superb in wet conditions, seemed to wear quickly at first but that might have been from too low of tire pressure. Many rough road excursions even at end of life and it's got great traction.
Tires seem to be more puncture prone than what I have previously experienced, in particular to my previous Continental all terrain tires.
My first need is: perfect cornering and cotrol on dry or wet tarmac only, for heavy RAM 1500 HEMI truck. This tires, with profile reduced from standard factory 60 to 55, are perfect for this condition. Full control in corners is maintained
I live in Kansas where we get more ice than snow. The snow grip is so good I sometimes do not install my dedicated winter tire unless I suspect ice in horizon. Driven in all types of weather from heavy rain to extreme hot summers. The tires do very well in wet conditions and noticed no slipping or sliding. During dry the tire does well and has a solid grip even in higher speeds. The wear has minimal with 20,000 miles. They have been very comfortable and low road noise.
I'm actually reviewing the Wingard Sport 3 SUV version of the tire since I haven't found any online and it's a staggered setup with the fronts being 245/55R20. It has been 1 month since I've installed the tires, mostly it has been driving in the dry and wet, so far, we only had 1 day of snow and temperatures have ranged from -6 °C to +12 °C. I drive a mix of town, country roads and motorway. I won't be comparing it to my previous tires because they were installed in different rims (also 20in) and it's not fair to compare old used tires with brand new ones.
The TLDR is I highly recommend this tire and would definitely buy them again.
I haven't found any weakness, very solid performance on all the conditions I've driven so far, never once I felt the car hadn't enough grip, even in greasy conditions. Surprisingly, the steering feedback and car agility is excellent and pretty much on par with my summer Bridgestone Potenza tires.
Regarding comfort, the tires are quiet up to motorway speeds, obviously a bit louder than summer tires, and are very so slightly harder than my summer tires, in sum the overall comfort is very good.
The fuel consumption has also been a pleasant surprise, with lower average consumption of 0,2 L/100km than my previous tires.
The cherry on top is the price; the other options I was looking for were the equivalent Falken, Toyo or Hankook, all of them would cost me at least 300€ more for the set and I couldn't imagine they would be any better. For me this is a hidden gem of a tire, it's not just a great tire for the price, it's a great tire period.
About wear and ice grip I can't say much as I haven't driven it enough and there weren't proper icy conditions this year yet.

Vredestein Pinza AT are great tires. They've treated me really well and I think they'll be hard to beat. I may try the Falken Wildpeak AT4W next.
While they aren't the best in any category, they do really well all around, so they make a great all season.
