I've had several premium brands of All Season tyres fitted to SUVs (Honda CRV, Toyota RAV 4, Ford Galaxy TDCi) over the last few years (Bridgestone, Goodyear, Michelin, Hankook) and they've all performed well and lasted a reasonable mileage before needing replaced. However, the Vredestein Quatracs as fitted to my Ford Galaxy AWD in February 2026 have been utterly shocking. In July after only 3000 miles of driving, consisting of mainly pootling about on normal roads (NB no off-road driving) with some steady longer runs on dual carriageways, the tread on the front tyres had started to disintegrate shedding flakes and granules (see pics). These are in the process of a warranty return via Asda Tyres - no news yet on this front from Vredestein / Asda. The rate of wear on rears is also concerning. The tread is still intact but already down to 6mm after only 4000 miles and will be lucky to make my annual mileage of 8000 without needing replacing. Luckily I have a spare pair of Goodyear Vector 4 Seasons left over from when the Vredesteins were fitted and now have these on the front with the Vredesteins still on the rear. For comparison, my Goodyears were fitted in February 2023, lasted for three years and around 20000 miles before the fronts reached minimum legal tread, whilst the rears still had 6mm left. As already mentioned, the durability of the Vredesteins is quite shocking and I'll never go near this brand again. For info: I had a wheel alignment done at the same time the front Vredesteins were taken off and there were no issues there.

Fitment comes from each tyre's manufactured size list, and the sizes are the ones drivers reported when they reviewed. Check the size, load index and speed rating on your own doorplate before buying - a size a previous owner ran is not always the size your car left the factory on.

Waste of money.
Don't buy these tyres !!!
I have full confidence in this tyre and I'll be buying again.
Our other car has Michelin cross climates on it, the a005 gives more grip through tight corners before understeer kicks in.
Today was first light snow, braking was good.
