Quick update, just put 400 miles on the Vredesteins and am so pleased they are as quiet as the OEM Michelin LTX/AS that they replaced. That was my biggest concern going from an AS tire to an AT. My grandsonβs F-150 with Cooper SST was distractingly loud. They are slightly firmer, expected in going from a 6-ply to a 10-ply tire but not uncomfortable so. Where they really impressed was going up my daughters steep and icy driveway, no slipping at all and handled packed snow and slush very nicely. They come siped, so thatβs probably a help in the icy bits.
All around very pleased.
