Vredestein tyres

Vredestein Traction Tyres?

Opinions?

They're only a couple of hundred quid more than BKT Agrimax for a set of 4 (520/85r42 & 480/70r30)

Tractor will predominantly be on cultivation and baler work, with some road haulage. Are the vredestein never wear, but never grip?

The bkt 70 series just melt away on road work, contractor friend has 65 series and is quite happy with them .
Long story but have one of each on the back of my old JD 6400, 480/70r38 size, and the Vredestein traction + would outlast two or even more BKT's

The old traxion+ would be designed for contractors doing a good amount of road work rather than field only. I've drove a tractor on them on slopes tho and they were fine. They've recently been replaced with traxion 65 though, which would be geared to lean more to field work as the curves are less extreme. More comparable to Goodyear optitrac. They're made in Holland as well as opposed to India in BKTs case as well.

I wouldn’t hesitate Vredestein we,ve two sets first set done a lot of work now,never had BKT though

 

[oilcan]

Bkt are good tyres , have a set on one because Vredesteins weren't available, but would pay the extra normally.

 

[Driver]

Price kleber too. They usually have some type of offer for cash back

They run and hide when you have a tyre problem.

Genuinely though, has anyone got anything out of a tyre companies warranty?

Would have to be an amazing offer for me to be tempted.

Some will .
But for me I found alliance Tyres, Nokian and trelleborg very helpful and would swap the tyres if we have problems.

BKT warranty very good here in the states

 

[Rob Holmes]

All Vredesteins here, very pleased with them and very smooth and quiet on the road

 

[ED.D]

Agree, got a set on a loadall and they are quiet on the road and a T series valtra with a set on and in my view perform well.

I don't know what you did to your BKT tyres but the 580/70 on ours are doing 90% roadwork and they haven't worn at all in 1000hours. The trelleborgs they replaced were down to 50% by then. I wanted vredestein but it was in COVID lockdown and nobody had any but they have a good reputation.
