Vredestein Quatrac 3

Just as good as my falken 192s in the summer and as good as my goodyear nordics in the snow plus wear is good. 20,000 kms an only 25 percent worn. But of course my toyota only weighs 2400 lbs which makes a difference in wear.

These tires are just as good as my falken 912s were in the summer and just as good as my goodyear snow tires were in the snow but they are all in one now. From now on im just going to buy all weather tires.

Very cute, superb tyres. I like that and buy again.

Had Quatrac 3's fitted to the front of my car just before the snow hit 2010, I do around 20,000 miles a year and they are still on the car with 4 - 5 mm tread remaining and expect them to see me through this winter too.
Most of my driving is mainly steady dual carriage and national speed limit roads, I do not thrash my cars but it gets the occasional blip !
Superb in the wet, muddy fields - no problem, amazing grip in the snow - just pull away almost like normal !
Not as hard wearing as some tyres but I would rather wear out the tread of a tyre rather than it last until the sidewalls start cracking up.
Overall an excellent tyre and would buy them again without hesitation.

Bought these for my son who has just got his first car (2nd hand Punto) I put these onto the front as previous tyres were shocking - what a difference! Went out last night in the rain and went round a roundabout at pace and not a deviation - total confidence in these....looking forward to the winter now!! Trust me buy these, I travel 25,000 miles a year and I know good tyres. If your son or daughter has a car put these on!

I bought these last year as the winter snow was setting in and apparently Aberdeen no longer gets gritted. I decided to go for the Quatrac as although it's an all season tyre, 3 out of 4 of Scotland's seasons are normally winter!
Throughout the months of snow my old Audi never once got stuck and as the summer rain has come, the tyres have performed just as well as they did in January.

Plus points:
- Very good snowy, wet and dry grip
- Progessive. You know exactly where you are with these and how close they are to letting go.
- Little road noise, but I do have a high profile size.

Negatives -
- Quite pricey, which is probably the only reason I'd investigate other tyre brands/models
- My car has started to torque steer since fitting, but I have went from a 205 to a 195 size due to lack of availability when I was buying.
- As expected with an all season tyre, these are quite a soft compound, so I'd expect I'll see 10k out of them before I couldn't use them in the snow (have done 5k now). I'd say they'd be good for 15k before down to 2-2.5mm.

Overall they're probably the best money I've ever spent on a car, and sadly, I've spent a lot.

Never used this type of tyre before but am so far impressed. They are only on a Fiesta but are proving to be more than up to the job. Nice comfy and quiet ride and with great grip in dodgy conditions, good price too. What more can you ask?

I had good year triple treads on previously. Due to the lack of availability, I had to try a different tire. I have not noticed any diffence in road performance. Both tires have held the road great. The Vredestein tire is priced better. Glad I did not spend the extra money.

Have posted on these tyre's winter performance earlier. Now being July and having had warm/hot weather since April, I can report that these tyres are truly All-season! No, they are not as good as summer tyres but overall as a compromise, they do very well. If you push them, they under-steer more readily than a decent summer tyre. Steering is not as sharp and braking in the dry is not as confiddent. However, if you drive "normally", not attacking the road etc., they will perform very well.

Wear is also very good. around 10,000 miles exclusively on the driven front wheels and they are down to 2-3mm.

-- Highly recommended --

Volvo XC70 now on my second set of quattrac 3's and getting 25000 miles per set per year with 1 mid range front/rear swap. Driving UK roads plus 4-5 weeks in the alps in winter in all conditions of thick snow, ice etc. Never been stuck and twice used the car to tow out other stranded cars on a hill from a standing start over slippery new snow. Not as secure as full winter tyres for high speed over snowy dual carriageways (overtaken by audis with full winter gear) but best not to drive fast in these conditions anyway. Snow grip dependent upon tread depth so best to fit new in late autumn. Used to change from winter to summer tyres in the spring but now keep these on all year round. Was doubtful at first because some dual purpose equipment can end up being the worst of both worlds, but these tyre seem to suit my purposes just fine. Will buy another set.
