The Vred's are the same tyre pattern as the old Goodyear Eagle F1's that got discontinued were. Wouldn't surprise me if they were the same material tech that Vred had bought from Goodyear. Those when I first started driving supra's were the hands down most acclaimed tyres available. I've been through a few makes since then. I liked the Falken 452's but don't even attempt to drive on them with less than half tread in the snow as you'll be facing backwards before you know it. I had P zero Nero's that performed spectacularly but I saw them off in less than 5k miles on the back of my single aristo. I've been through some toyo T1R's which are grippy tyres and handle very well on light FWD cars but wear out like a bitch (not so much of an issue on a £35 tyre though). Uniroyal rain sports are the current cheapest would put on my car tyre. Grip's not as good as the Toyo's on dry ground but matches on wet and I'm waiting on seeing the longevity report again though light weight FWD.

 

Winter tyre wise I recently stuck some Vred winters on the back of my beemer (275 30 19"s) and overall they are not that great in any environment (yet to be tested in snow). the kumho ice bears I had on my aristo however were very impressive in the winter and I left them on a lot later than I intended and then transferred them to an E46 beemer with pretty good results across last winter.
