When the snow came, it was like driving a 4x4. 1-10 hill no problem.

I found myself very well with these tires (it is the second time that I take), I am versatile enough: highway, dirt, snow, ice ... a little noisy. The only weak spot: they lose a bit of wet grip when temperatures rise ... Anyway no doubt recommend them.

I purchased these tyres for my 335i coupe twin turbo petrol for the winter in the UK. I ran them on my original 17" wheels which have a 255 rear and 225 front. This really helped as the car has a lot of power and torque and can ask a lot of the rear tyres. I normally run 19" wheels for summer with high performance tyres. The Vredsteins were excellent. They provided superb wet grip and in the minimal snow that I drove had superb grip in the snow. I really liked the way the tyres didn't harden in the colder temperatures unlike summer tyres. Ride quality was fantastic but some of this would have been running them on a 17" wheel compared to my 19" wheel summer tyres. Longevity was very good although I didn't cover many miles during winter so difficult to say. Dry grip was good considering they are a winter tyre but I did find the handling a little vague at times but this may have been because the tread blocks were still very new and tall and moving a little bit. Overall though I am delighted with them and very glad I fitted a winter tyre and will be putting them back on the car in early November having swapped them at the beginning of April to my summer wheels/tyres.

The best winter tyre I have ever used. Grip on snow and ice is exceptionally good. Also good on cold wet roads. I liked the first set so much, I have now replaced them with the same tyre.

The Vredestein Xtreme Wintrac is definitely not an average tyre both in case of driving qualities and design. Unfortunately, one of those I have has a slight bulge on the inner side. I can't recall driving on the pot hole or hitting a kerb. So for this tyre class that's a bit odd. They are also quite expensive to buy in the first place. I don't know about the complaint yet. But other than that.. They are just fine.

very good tires, a little "hollow" on a dry, warm asphalt; great exercise in such Skoda superb 4x4; nice look

To me they are number 1! The only drawback is that the Vredestein Xtreme Wintrac smells of burnt rubber when driving when it is dry. I have them on the BMW E60 LCI 2007 270PS (600nm).

Vredestein Xtreme Wintrac is very quiet, for a winter tyre that is. Comfy and safe.

I don't think you could call Vredestein Xtreme Wintrac a cheap tyre, unless you find some bargain. It is definitely no worse than the big brands. It is rather quiet as well, except for slush. Outstanding handling in corners and it is really hard to lose grip, even on purpose. It is a liitle bit worse when pulling off in deep snow and when you brake too hard it will start sliding as well.
