I've got their Quatrac II (all season tires) on my 1980 99, and convinced my father to get them on his 1990 9000. They're pretty nice. They don't do any one thing exceptionally well, but they do give a good ride, good road feel, and good rain/snow traction. I haven't pushed them on dry pavement, but they do seem to hold pretty well. They start making some noise when cornering moderately hard (I have 185/65 R15 size) on dry pavement. Not squealing, but more like normal road noise getting louder.
I like them better than the Nokians I had, since those tended to feel like I was driving *on* the road, where the Vreds seem to *grip* the road. It's a subjective, feel thing, and hard to put into words. My father likes them a lot, too.
I've also just gotten the Wintrac winter tires on my 1986 900T (185/65 R15). They were great in snow last winter. There was a little wheel spin on black ice, but they were good aside from that. Same thing with the all-seaon Quatracs on the 99 in snow.
I've got Nokian summer tires (195/60 R15) on the 900 now, with about 2 years left on the tread. I'll probably get Vreds to replace them when the time comes.
