Im thinking since I read good reviews of the Vredes everywhere, it has to be something with them not matching with the front 3D's? Like somehow this upset the whole balance in the car?
very noticeable weird and scary behavior when accelerating, coming onto freeways, changing lanes or getting on on-ramps!
how do you feel your handles on asphalt / in the dry w Vredes on all 4?

This is probably a result of the mix-n-match setup as you have speculated. The 3D is a good tire on its own, and the Vreds probably are too (no first-hand experience with them so that's why I say probably), but they may just not get along well together.
This is a good example of why it is always best to match all 4 tires. Sometimes a mix works out, other times it becomes a mess.
