All Weather Touring Tires

These tires came on my car and they're fine. For winter I'd toss them immediately I drove them in a bad winter storm and I survived but I'd be lying if I said I was confident. ice braking was poor, snow braking and grip was fine but nothing special. I can't speak as well for the dry and wet grip, I can make them chip fairly easily but I don't typically push tires in these considerations so I can't speak for it confidentially. They don't seem to wear I've put a good amount of kms in them and I've even done a autoX on them and they're still fine with lots of life left.

Surprisingly good budget tires. They performed better than expected in dry and wet. They performed as well as most other all-weather tires in snow and ice (that is to say, adequate but nowhere near the performance of winter tires). For the price, would definitely buy them again.

"I purchased these all-season premium tires for my 4WD Subaru Outback, and I am extremely satisfied with them. As soon as they were installed, the car felt remarkably smooth and pleasant to drive.
The tires are wearing perfectly evenly, and I’ve already rotated them once. I used to be hesitant about all-season tires, but this brand completely convinced me that I made the right choice. While tire selection always depends on the specific car, driving style, and usage, these have worked out incredibly well for my Outback. Highly recommended!

At the time I purchased these, they were the only all-weather tire in size 205/45 R17 I could find in North America. It was my first experience with Vredestein. They are excellent in the wet, including cold and wet, and while driving spiritedly. They’re good in the dry, although breaking distance is average. They’re surprisingly okay in the snow! I wouldn’t use them as dedicated winter tires in Canada, but they managed well in fresh snow, packed snow and uphill on slippery packed snow. The tire is marketed as being performance-oriented, which is a bit of a stretch. It does handle well, but under high torque, the tires tend to take a second before finding their grip.
The biggest downside of these tires are the sidewalls which are on the softer side. Actually, after hitting what felt like a small pothole, the tire ripped across the sidewall and tread. That kind of tear was too catastrophic to be repaired. At the time, I could not source a replacement tire in Canada, which is when I decided to swap all four tires for something different.

I've had several premium brands of All Season tires fitted to SUVs (Honda CRV, Toyota RAV 4, Ford Galaxy TDCi) over the last few years (Bridgestone, Goodyear, Michelin, Hankook) and they've all performed well and lasted a reasonable mileage before needing replaced. However, the Vredestein Quatracs as fitted to my Ford Galaxy AWD in February 2026 have been utterly shocking. In July after only 3000 miles of driving, consisting of mainly pootling about on normal roads (NB no off-road driving) with some steady longer runs on dual carriageways, the tread on the front tires had started to disintegrate shedding flakes and granules (see pics). These are in the process of a warranty return via Asda Tires - no news yet on this front from Vredestein / Asda. The rate of wear on rears is also concerning. The tread is still intact but already down to 6mm after only 4000 miles and will be lucky to make my annual mileage of 8000 without needing replacing. Luckily I have a spare pair of Goodyear Vector 4 Seasons left over from when the Vredesteins were fitted and now have these on the front with the Vredesteins still on the rear. For comparison, my Goodyears were fitted in February 2023, lasted for three years and around 20000 miles before the fronts reached minimum legal tread, while the rears still had 6mm left. As already mentioned, the durability of the Vredesteins is quite shocking and I'll never go near this brand again. For info: I had a wheel alignment done at the same time the front Vredesteins were taken off and there were no issues there.

Once again Vredestein proves to be the best performing and longest lasting tire for me, and they're 30% cheaper than Michelin.
Dry grip is insane, very controllable slip on launches despite my 390hp RWD Mustang.
Cornering is great, it's softer compared to summer tires of course but predictable and smooth.
They're a bit noisy, I can hear the tires "dragging" but that means it's gripping hard.
Wet and snow behave surprisingly good, I've went offroad on a hill covered in a couple inches of snow, gravel and mud without ever getting stuck and barely slipping despite the Mustang.
Oversteer and understeer occurs on ice, take extra precautions and drive slow when asphalt is glossy/glittery, it applies to every tire but these ones lose control easier from lateral forces when slippery.
I've mounted these tires on a Dacia Duster 4x4, Audi A3 and now the Mustang, they all behave like this. Compared to Michelin or Continental which cost over 200€ these Vredestein perform the same or better for around 150€ unbelievable. I'm curious how long they'll last on the Mustang but on previous cars they endured lots more than expected. I have Vredestein (best performance and value) as first choice with Bridgestone (less available in my size hard to find) performance wise. Michelin and Continental 2nd (performance on par with Vredestein and a notch below Bridgestone, always available but the pricing is unjustifiable). I won't buy Pirelli anymore, they're super comfortable and good performing but they get shredded, bald and trashed within 15-20tkm,
