looking at some all season tyres for my bmw 320

anyone use these and how do you rate them?
i know they wont be as good as full winters but i have no storage space

£460 for a set fully fitted from event tyres seems a good price

I put some Quadraxers on last year, and they seem to be holding up well. Great wet traction, and acceptable road noise.

ETA I haven't driven the Hankook in that test, but have driven its full winter relative and was hugely impressed with it. In terms of price/performance it's likely to be worth a good look though.

I'm thinking of these also.

Its worth checking the price for these at ATS if you have one locally. They come in cheaper than Event who in turn are cheaper than Camskill.

In reviews they get marked down for wet grip but every other category is comparable with the top tyres that get reviewed. I've heard they are 'own brand' Michelin.

The alternative would be Vredestein Quatrac 3

For the UK we really want to concentrate on wet performance, and according to that test it's not the best of the bunch.

FWIW, some tyre manufacturers who don't make an all season tyre have had a little dig at tyres like the Vector 4Seaons / Quatrac 3 / A001 as they're essentially wet bias winter tyres, much like the Nokian WR*3 range is.

Except IIRC the Quatrac 3 was pretty near the top of last Winters EVO winter tyre test on the 'snow handling' test when compared to full winter spec tyres.
