OK, I think I found out why Brad was so disappointed with his Vreds. From his post below, the key issue seems to be that he did not realise he needed to run his tyres in for the first 100miles or so. From all reviews I have read, the issues he points out are common in the first 100 miles or so before the tyres run in.
I'm from newengland and I also intentionally go out during bad weather to do mundane chores just to drive around in the snow (I enjoy it for some reason).
I saw all the great reviews on the tires, which is why I decided to try them out... I was seriously blown away by how bad they were. Maybe mine were defective or something but they were JUST mounted when I got the car. Lane changes in on a snowy highway doing 30mph were freaking terrifying, as was taking turns, leaving stop signs, trying to stop... It was ridiculous. I attribute the reviews to people running them on normal winter wheels and not mounting them on wide 20" supercharged wheels. My current winter set has Scorpions and IMO they're worlds better. Then again it's tough to find tires for these wheels, my 19's on my 2004 had alot of options (and better). 2015 RR Supercharged - Aintree Green
