Yes - I replaced the original Continentals with Vredesteins in 1986.  The
Continentals were very slippery in the wet, useless in the snow.  Great
fun for spinning wheels in a Vanagon!!!  The Vredesteins are noisier, but
far superior in all conditions.  Replaced them last summer with Michelins
because I couldn't find the Vredesteins and the front left tire failed due
to dry rot on an interstate ramp (14 years old).  The Michelins are OK -
quieter, "harder" - they feel like truck tires, but I prefer the
Vredesteins for better performance in ALL conditions.
