I have used Duratracs as my winter tyres 2014/15 and 15/16 (OE Contis for summer). I had MT/Rs before, and Pirelli Scorp Zeros as my summer tyres, but have not tried the Vreds. I like the Duratracs and would happily buy them again. I have had no problems in the snow and they are much better on ice than the MT/Rs, due to more siping and softer compound. On mud I'd say they are almost as good as the MT/Rs, but they are softer, so not as strong as the MT/Rs, though they will be better at coping with potholes etc than ordinary road tyres like the Pirellis. Handling, braking, noise and fuel consumption are all poorer than the Pirellis, but better than the MT/Rs, I'd prefer not to use them all year round due to the blunting of performance and handling, but could live with them if I had to. I would have been less keen to do that with the MT/Rs. Only Range Rovers since 1988
