recent change of tyre -now the cooper rated on the "ogri" scale as a 6 so much better than the original goodyear wrangler m/s scoring only 2.
so far in deep road water no sign of aqua planing with no movement when hitting the large volumes of water in recent days. Normal road use produces noticible LESS road noise despite the much deeper tread -(over 10mm )
So Far extremely pleased, will come back with more info when i've done a load more miles( 1000 miles done in 3 weeks so far)

Have run these tyres all year round for two years now. Been down to the Alpes on 4 occasions and driven in 12" of snow and very steep roads without a hint of losing traction. Even driven on the French motorways in the unploughed outside lane at the speed limit (110km/h) in bad weather without any loss of traction. In extreme snow and ice these tyres are excellent. They also perform well in the wet and dry at other times of the year as well. HIghly recommended. Will definitely be buying another set when they finally wear out.

Just bought a set of 4 for my freelander 2 ready for the snow at the start of december 2010 and used them in the heavy snow this week before christmas, ive taken off my wranglers and put in the garage ready for the spring they are good but these Vredesteins are the best ive ever used in heavy snow,ive had rangerovers,disos old and new,and a izusu but this freelander 2 with these tyres on are by far the best. We live out in the middle of the back of beyond and weve not had a problem at all getting about. i bought the tyres just for the winter so cant give a full score.

The tyres are great. I live in Scottish West Coast Highlands and they are superb in wet conditions here. They were excellent in recent snowy and icy weather making the Freelander 2 unstoppable. Very reassured on the road when it was snowy/slushy. In the dry weather the tyres have been fine as well. Can't comment on wear yet as they haven't been on the car that long. But I would recommend them or the conditions here.

Came with car as OE. Driven 40000 miles from new and now down to approx 3mm. Never had any problems with grip in the dry, wet or snow as I drive according to road conditions and not at the performance limit of the vehicle. Would buy again but planning to sell vehicle soon so a lower cost Tyre will be purchased.

I cannot rate these tyres highly enough when it comes to driving in snow. In my freelander 2 with these tyres I can and have performed a 3 point turn in over 1ft of snow. I have driven up and down step roads drifted over with at least 14-16" of snow (life in west Aberdeenshire is fun). I don't know what black magic is at work, as to look at the tread isn't all that impressive but the grip in snow is incredible much better actually than in wet grass which was ok but nothing special. If you are looking for tyre specifically for the snow then these are for you

These tyres have been replaced by Land Rover with Pirelli Scorpion Zero - which is what I am now replacing them with. They have traveled 22000 miles on spirited driving - and have performed faultlessly. Wear is even - and the grip has been exceptional in the dry, fine in the wet and felt very safe in the heavy snow of the past 2 winters (it may be because of the M&S - mud and snow - designation). I would not hesitate to buy these again.

I've had these tyres on the car from new and done about 22000 miles. They have worn evenly and still have about 6-8000 miles of wear in them. They're used mainly on-road with a little off-road use. In the snow and ice over the last two winters they've performed reasonably well. I have never got stuck though some skidding on packed snow was a problem over a short distance. Not sure how any other tyre might have coped. Smooth, quiet and comfortable on tarmac, they've returned mpg in line with expectations and the car's specification.

Very good tyre in the snow, i have driven through upto 2 feet with no issues at all. Good grip in the wet and dry, far quieter and better ride that my summer continetal tyres. Cant say to much about the wear rate as i have only driven about 500 miles on them. All in all a very good winter tyre which i would buy again.
