Tire Choice - Vredestein Quatrac Pro (Anyone try these out yet?)
Hey, I'm going to take delivery of a 21' m550i and I'm looking for an all season tire for my sister to use on this car.
Has anyone tried using the Vredestein Quatrac Pro tirerack?? I see theyre AA rated and not AAA rated. How do you think these would be in the summer on an m550i? |

Summers will have more grip at the limit than their all season equivalent, but I don't think your sister will come close to reaching the limit of those tires anyway if she's not flying into corners like a madman lol.

Tell you what. I have Vredestein snows on my winter wheels and I love them. By far the quietest and best handling snow I've had, and I've tried them all - literally. With that said, I just purchased Stance wheels. Like us all I did the research on which tire to go with. After reading reviews, watching the Tire Rack videos then speaking with a Tire Rack rep I decided to get Quatrac Pro once my wheels come in.
Initially since I have dedicated snows I was only looking for summer only tires. I agree with both replies above. Honestly I was surprised that I was going with an all season but for the price on 19's, and the $500 - $600 I'm saving (compared to the above mentioned tires) I figured, if I made a mistake I can always get something else down the road. My criteria was a tire that was quiet, had good wet and obviously dry weather performance. After I tune my car I'll be pushing 600hp or so, I was thinking having a slightly harder compound may help in eating up tires. The Tire Rack review mentioned how the dry weather was very good, again surprising for an all season. There's my $0.02

Thanks - that's helpful. The Tire Rack does make them sound good, and they're cheap. The other appealing thing to me is that I could still use these in March and October (shoulder season) meaning two fewer months on snow tires.

Right, they have the snowflake - fingers crossed on these.
