... there is only one way I can see this situation... the tire is made of rubber... it is round and therefore will get you and the car from point A to point B. They can't be too expensive so I guess they will work. As for the 186 safety... don't bet on it or it was nice knowing ya

Vredestein is a pretty common tire here in Denmark, Europe...Its a cheap tire, not a performance tire

A very long time ago, I bought their snow tires. They were ok. I'd take what Lars has said as more accurate today.

I think I'll go to with either Khumo's or Goodrich.
