Wanted to share some quick observations as I just installed my winter set. I could not justify Tesla winter packages ($3.5 and $4K each) so I went with a package from Tire Rack and Vredestein Wintrac Pro 255/45R19 performance winter tires. I had non-performance Blizzaks on my BMW before and could not stand the winter since they felt soft and non-responsive on dry so Performance winters were a must!
Quite a change in ride from 21" Uberturbines, although I haven't put too many miles yet, early observations indicate
Quite a change in ride from 21" Uberturbines, although I haven't put too many miles yet, early observations indicate
- way more forgiving in bumps and overall feel comfy
- good handling compared to Blizzaks, but not as good as performance summer tires
- quiet (surprisingly!)
- steering feel not quite the same as with 21", but not bad at all
