Hi everyone, new here and have a question, . My little 2011 Panda (1.1 Active) is needing some new tyres. Currently running some Nexen NBlue HD Plus. Was going to go for those again, but was looking at some Vredestein Quatrac 5s. It'd be a bit more to replace to the all season, though it might be worth it.

what are peoples thoughts on this? I do a big 150/200 mile drive about once every 6 weeks, and likely doing that this weekend. Am I better changing to the all seasons? Not a crazy driver, and even if I was, the Panda wouldn't let me be haha!

Weighing up the pros and cons because I've never had all seasons, always had summers (didn't even know there were different tyres until recently!) and that's with 10 years of driving.
 
My wife's 1.2 gets the tyres available at the local suppliers. We have not noticed an ounce of difference. The car would benefit from 175-14 wheels and tyres but its a functional car so we live with the poor grip and tread life.
