I couldn't find much information on these tires online and I have bought it because for my winter tire rims. I had a very limited choice in 215/70 r16 size. Money-wise these were quite close to the premium options like Bridgestone Blizzak but they had better speed index (H which my car manufacturer recommends as opposed to T on Blizzaks and other tires), were more quiet and had better fuel consumption. I've read a handful of reviews before, mostly positive. I had some winter Hankooks before which I have bought with the car but these were almost 8 years old even though they were driven maybe 3000km altogether. The Hankooks were behaving like a jelly on a highway, I was not impressed. There was this feeling that rear tires responded very slowly while changing lanes, maybe that's why it has a T speed index. Suitable maybe for the city but they don't procuce them anymore. Vredesteins felt actually better than summer Hankooks k415 (225/60 r17) the previous owner left me (please bear in mind these were old tires as well and I'll be replacing them this season). I've used it on snow, in the wet and also on snow/ice mixture on a track and they actually kept up with the premium offerings on higher diameter rims. Absolutely no complaints for now. If you move your rim size to 17 inches you've got much more choice with similar parameters so maybe then it would be a question of price/performance ratio.

Been very pleased with these tires. Give a lot of confidence in winter conditions. Very good on icy ungritted roads . Excellent on motorways in the wet .For the price , can’t recommend them enough
