All Season Ultra High Performance Tyres

Been driving Vredestein Quatrac Pro XL 255/45/R19 on Audi A6 Allroad 3.0TDI C7 since 05/2024. Rear tyres are good, low wear, but front tyres are completely worn. During car tech exam just few days ago, I was told I should replace front tyres as the inner section of both left and right tyres were completely worn and slick. Wearing of the inner section of the tyre might be related to the Audi quattro drivetrain (famous for it), but the fact is that this car is very heavy on the front.

On dry roads, tyres are fine, I don't notice anything. This winter (2026), I had to drive up the hill on the motorway for few miles and it drove without any problems, was driving around 80-90km/h. Also, when the car got berried in snow (as it was parked next to the main road) in the moutainous region, after showelling a bit, I was able to get out with full grip. So, snow condition - awesome. However, wet condition is what really worries me and it's caused by the wear. I noticed that car tends to slip while starting if the wheel is turned. Also, last year during mild Winter on the wet road in the city, I almost had a crash as when I hit breaks, car just started sliding for 30-40 meters. Absolutely no idea how or why as this happened in the city center. Aquaplaning is good with these tyres, they really bite into the water.

Also, tyres are loud while driving, even though I have acoustic windshield and side glasses. I used to have Michelin CrossClimate and CrossClimate+ on the older car and they were really quiet.

I'm not going to order Vredestein tyres again for this car. There are better tyres on the market. They might be good for someone who goes to snow/icy areas a lot, but I just drive on dry and wet roads throughout the year, so they're not so good for me.

Excellent dry and wet grip. Snow is ok for the tire it is, but you should not depend on this tire to get you there once any measurable snow is on the ground. Road noise is ok and wear is pretty good. I don't make it to the 50k warranty, but it is nice that they discount my next set when I don't. This is my second set of AS4's. I MIGHT look at the DWS 6 next time just because of the better snow traction, but overall I am very happy with these tires.

They are decent tire, not top of class from what I can tell. I do like that they are fairly comfortable on the road as far as noise and harshness. The weight and power of the MachE GT can overpower them pretty easy if really giving it the beans. They give me confidence in the rain and haven't had any issues there.

Good wear too, making sure I rotate at 10k miles.

These tires are great. I researched for months trying to get as much data as possible about them. The tread design is very similar to the now defunct Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3+. But these are way more comfortable than any Michelin Pilot Sport model. I also used to have the Firestone Firehawk Indy 500, and those heat cycled and aged out before I could wear out the tread. The Firestones albeit older technology had the grip of an all season if I’m being honest. I got them from a guy off Facebook marketplace for cheap, so it was worth it.

However these Falkens are a different story. I can feel the rear end of my car “track” into a turn better. Kinda like my old Continental EC DW (v1). Of course since they are new they will feel better than my old tires. I don’t commute far so I never wear out my tread. So the Falken’s make the sensible purchase. I can’t comment on their performance in rain or sow bc it’s been nothing by an everlasting hot summer here in SoCal in 2026.

Sharp handling, quiet, and comfortable. Develop flat spots after parking for a few days, gone after 10 mintues of driving.

Fitted on my Golf 7.5 GTI Performance as a replacement for a winter tire (Zagreb, Croatia - there hasn't been much snow in a couple of years, only wet conditions).
So far so good - only down side for now is noise. They are louder than most of the tires I have driven on. Speaking as someone who has Bridgestone Potenza Evo Sport summer time.
Feedback on the steering wheel is good, sharp.

Looks good on the car with their sporty side wall.

I will get back on this review after this winter and some snow potential.

Drove them on a 2019 Mini Cooper Countryman S all4 for about 20000 miles and then on a 2022 Mini Cooper Countryman all4 JCW for around 10000 miles. I felt the tires were excellent in the wet even when pushing the vehicles hard on the thruway. Good in the dry, nice handling in wet and dry. Just an overall excellent tire.Never used them in winter weather I used winter tires for that.

A very satisfying tire in most regards, though comfort is mediocre.

Grip and handling have been satisfactory. Tread life is very disappointing. With 2 1/2 years and less than 23,000 miles the tread wear indicators on the front tires hit 3/32nd and the rear 5/32nd. The tires were only driven 22,421 miles over 2 1/2 years. I would not consider purchasing this brand again.
