The all-weather category intrigues me as someone who lives in an area that sees some snow, but not enough to really justify a set of winter tires. I’ve been contemplating the Michelin CrossClimate+, but these Vredisteins look interesting, too.
I look forward to your testing of these in snowy conditions (I’m assuming you’ll be doing some winter testing with these?) Maybe wet conditions, too?

What was the weight difference on the wheels and what tire size did you go with?

When you are ready to give away tires...I will be ready.

Correct. T he next segment with these tires will cover rain and snow. So, probably late-November or December.

Tires are 235/60/R18 on 18x8 Konig Hexaform 18x8.5 wheels. We should have weighted them mounted... but we did not.

Thanks, I wanted to put those on my wife’s outback, but the quatrac 5 were the only all season + that fit the factory wheels.
How difficult was it to secure the testing space at the ridge? I want to test a before and after with a stock 16mm sway bar and a whiteline 22mm adjustable. Otherwise I'll do the roundabout skipped test.

The quatrac 5s are amazing in snow, ice and rain. I can only imagine the pros will exceed what I have.
