Does anyone have experience with both of these tires and can shed some insight on how the comfort/ride quality and noise levels compare? Understand one is a touring tire and the other is a performance, but primarily trying to understand if the Quatrac Pros significantly outperform the PS All Season 4s in regards to comfort and noise (or is it just marginal)

On 2nd set of Quatrac now on MS....comfort and noise marginal. Tire wear Quatrac 27K Michelin 17K.
Thanks! Bit unfortunate to hear. Assuming if the comfort and noise improvements were only marginal, price was the deciding factor that made you repurchase? What size tires if you don’t mind me asking

The Michelin will be better at what you’re looking for. Probably the #1 A/S tire you can buy right now.
That’s the first time I’ve heard Michelin PS A/S 4 offers a smoother ride than Vredestein Quatrac Pros. Have you personally tested both?
I can't comment directly, as I haven't had these tires on the Tesla, but my previous car (Mazda 3) had both of these tires during its lifetime. I greatly preferred how the Vredesteins handled, especially with regards to snow/ice. They were also noticeably quieter than the Michelins.
thanks for the feedback. did you notice the Vredesteins also handled road bumps softer than the Michelins? If so, how big a difference was it if any. any reason you haven’t swapped over on your Tesla
From what I recall, the Vredesteins handled potholes and such better than the Michelins, although the Mazda suspension was definitely squishier than Tesla's.
As for why I haven't switched over to them on my Tesla, it's because the stock tires only have ~7000 miles on them and I don't want to throw money at it if I don't need to yet. I'll definitely be switching over to the Vredesteins once it comes time though.
Please clarify tire SIZE in any tire discussion. It's critical to any comparison.
Awesome, that’s good to know. I will likely go with the Vreds once my Michelins wear out. What size were your tires on the Mazda?
Hah, good question. I had to dig it up. Looks like they were 215/45R18.
Will be doing the same a week from now. Would be nice for added ride quality and less road noise. Curious how many miles you got out of your Contis?.

Replaced the 20” Goodyears with Quatrac Pros a week ago and have been very happy so far.
Ride noise is the same, maybe a tad quieter, but the ride quality over bumps is a little smoother, which is great.

is it possible to quantify how much smoother haha? i’m running Pilot Sport All Season 4s atm
I'd say the Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 4s are 33.50943% smoother than the OEM Conti ProContacts. Can't compare with the Vredesteins, sorry.
Very pleased with this tire, as I don't really need the more aggressive tread of the Vredestein. Efficiency is gradually improving, now at aroun 299 Wh/mi, vs. 286 Wh/mi on the OEM ProContacts.

Replaced shoes with Vredestein Quatrac Pros. So far so good. No real hit to efficiency. Tires are quiet and a bit softer it seems.
I purchased these from a local tire shop. It appears they sourced them from Tire Rack….which I didn’t know was a thing. Further, their price was actually less than what I would have paid directly to Tire Rack. Saved about $150 when installation is included.
