Vredestein Quatrac 3

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.

Good safety in Scotland in Feb 2011 including snow/ice-coverd mountain roads. Quieter than summer tyres (esp below 7 degrees). dry/Wet weather grip seems fine.

I've never ever used better tyres than Quatrack3! Excellent all year round, they are on my car since winter time 2008 and still OK! Fantastic! Can't say more...

Feb 2011 - Awesome!

Bought these tyres 1 week before the snow hit my area and I cannot praise them enough! While everyone else is slipping around, I was able to pull away, stop and go round corners with ease. They are invaluable in the snow.
Dry grip is good, tyres are a very little on the noisy side byt are comfortable. I only wish I had 4 of them on the car as opposed to just 2 n the front!

Cannot comment on their longevity or prowess in warmer, dry temps - will post in due course

I have driven these for 5000 km. For what they are I would buy them again in a moment's thought.

Very good all year round tyre. Winter performance was good, not as good as full winter tyres in the snow but the best compromise and much better than driving around on summer rubber during the winter.
