Daihatsu Charade Tyre Review Highlights

Writing about the Vredestein Icetrac given 97% (155-70-13-)
Driving on mostly country roads for 18000 spirited miles

Comments refer to Vredestein 'Icetrak' fitted to Daihatsu Charade. I live in the Scottish Borders near the foothills of the Cheviots. Delightful it is to watch 4WD's sliding off the road (presumably on standard tyres)whilst one just carries on. The only limit to progress is depth of snow - if it fouls the floorpan you have problems, but otherwise snow and snow/ice is just not a problem. What surprised me was the comfort, relative quietness, and wear rate (during Summer - this area can be rather wet & muddy)which was better than standard tyre. Have tried tyres on our (new) Chevrolet Matiz & results are still excellent. The wear rate is astonishingly low despite rather enthusiastic motoring. During the 1970s I learnt to drive in serious snow & ice in a 2CV fitted with 135-section Michelin X-MS - you could easily raise the suspension & the old girl was unstoppable! Snow Tyre Cynics - you are seriously, seriously, wrong!

Driving on mostly town for 19 average miles

I got 19,400 miles out of the front tyres in 2 years, so I think that is pretty good from a so-called budget tyre and will be replacing them now they are worn down to 2mm!
