I have summer tyres from this manufacturer, which I'm very pleased with. When it comes to winter I previously used the Pirelli Carving Edge and I have to admit that Vredestains are not able to compete with them, despite the tread of the same type (symmetrical, directional). It is a different class of tyres though. Someone wrote somewhere that these tyres are meant to be for compact cars, relatively light and maybe there is something in it. I would have to try to actually make an opinion on it, however in my case these tyres lose their grip quite fast even in dry conditions so it may be though. It just doesn't go with my car. I'm also not a huge fun of the sound that they make outside of the car while driving in the rain, this is probably caused by the discharge of water from under the wheels. Although I must admit that they very nicely suppress inequality of the road. I recommend to those with light cars.

After one season and about 8000 miles I've noticed that the tyre is quite loud and I will be able to use it maybe a half of next season. Large tread wear, which should indicate a good grip on snow and ice but no, unfortunately not. I've read many good reviews on it and I was expecting more. I was expecting a cool, affordable tyres, but they disappointed me. Perhaps I had too big expectations.
