Vredestein Quatrac vs Michelin CrossClimate 2 SUV — Compared

“23 Model Y LR....just did my first tire change at 41k miles from stock Contis to Vredestein Quatrac Pro+. Better all the way around, no foam. There is not much of a road noise difference, maybe a bit louder going over concrete sections on some highways. I don't buy into the foam theory. Noise comes from tire composition and tread hitting varying surfaces. Every tire will give a different sound and sound level, foam or not.”

“Vredestein Quatrac Pro+ Experience?? Has anyone had experience with Vredestein Quatrac Pro+ tires? I got them off Tire Rack because they are supposedly EV rated... only to later find out there are specific Quadtrac EV tires (not listed on Tire Rack). I know I'll have a hit on range on my 2022 Bolt EUV because I have the original Michelins on the front and Quadtrac+s in the back but it seems very unpredictable (only reason for this is that old fronts were in VERY bad shape and wanted two new tires for safety with a 2year old).

“The last week or so here we have received about 12-15 inches of snow. I have these on my 2003 Forester and must say they dig through the snow very well. The only thing that I have found is that they seem a little slick when stopping. Don't stop as well as the Blizzaks on the wife's Galant, but then again they are not a dedicated winter tire either. Have put about 3500 miles on them since July and must say for an all season tire they have performed well in all conditions.”

“Got CC2s on my etron. Grip is fabulous especially in the rain and they're wearing slower than the OEM continentals, but mileage has suffered about 10%.”

“my concern about the CC2s is that they don't protect the rim of the tire?”

“I use CC2s as my winter tires on my Bolt, mostly because I wanted to get smaller rims as well but OEM tires still had plenty of life left and are just fine in the summer. Not using actual winter tires as Colorado weather is too unpredictable, snow happens from September to May but it's still mostly dry and often hot, even mid January there's usually a week of 60F+ and sunny. The tires are excellent. Costco tire centers are not.”
