Specifically, my wife’s car . I’m looking at these and an curious if any Oppos have experience with Vredesteins. They look like they can handle the wet and snow fairly well. I know they’re not a full snow tires, but the reviews look like they’re capable.

I heard good things about them. Supposedly, Vredestein was the first company to make 3-peak all-season tires

They are an excellent choice when you get snow and need to use a single set of tires year-round. While not as good as real winter tires, they are better than most all-seasons int he winter.

Thanks!  I've heard a few things in passing about them being a solid choice, curious if any of the other choices are significantly better.

I have had them on my Miata since last winter. They're good on the dry, excellent on wet, and pretty good on snow. Previous all-season tires would spin if they had to roll over more than a sprinkle, while the Quatrac 5s can get the car over snow as deep as the air dam hovers above the ground.

Sorry if I sounded short. Trying to juggle three kids and house work leads to a lot of miscommunication.
