Yokohama Geolandar H/T G056 vs Vredestein Quatrac — Compared

“I had been looking at summer tires due to the fact the Toyo are too. Was looking at these: They get decent reviews The rolling restistance and grip are good too. It is rated as having better grip in the wet than the Vredestein Quatrac: Would have thought the all weather would have better wet grip? Will make a decision tomorrow. I'm in on west of Ireland coast. It's wet rarely icy here, snow would be extreme -only once got proper snow in the last 15 years - the beast from east! Cheers”

“I agree with all of that. The Vredesteins are good, at least the set I have was. I’ll give them another shot at $600. If the sidewalls are a bit fragile to get that lightness, I suppose that’s something to keep in mind. Most people just don’t think about their car and don’t want to. They just want to go to work and get home after work. People have weird expectations of their tires. Whether this is a joke or not it might as well be a genuine review because certainly there’s someone out there for whom this is true.”

“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.”
