BFGoodrich Advantage All Season vs Vredestein Quatrac

This head-to-head pits the BFGoodrich Advantage All Season, a mainstream touring all-season, against the Vredestein Quatrac, a premium-touring all-season known for wet-road confidence. Across five shared professional tests from 2023-2025, the Quatrac consistently places higher overall (five test wins to none), driven largely by its standout wet performance.

Yet the story isn't one-sided. The BFGoodrich repeatedly delivers strong dry-braking and notably robust snow results, alongside efficiency advantages in rolling resistance and fuel use. The Quatrac counters with class-leading wet braking and handling, better aquaplaning margins, lower noise, and longer wear-traits that matter for year-round safety and value.

While it might look like the Vredestein Quatrac is better than the BFGoodrich Advantage All Season purely based on the higher number of test wins, tyres are very complicated objects which means where one tyre is better than the other can be more important in real world use.

Let's look at how the two tyres compare across multiple tyre test categories.

Key Strengths

  • Consistently strong on snow (traction, braking, handling, slalom wins across tests)
  • Shorter dry-braking distances in most sizes tested (e.g., 3-3.5% advantage)
  • Lower rolling resistance and fuel consumption
  • Good aquaplaning reserves; competitive straight/curved aquaplaning in some sizes
  • Outstanding wet braking and handling (e.g., 6-14% shorter wet stops, quickest wet laps)
  • Balanced, sporty handling with direct steering and high aquaplaning reserves
  • Longer tread life and lower noise
  • Stronger overall value proposition; consistent overall test wins

Dry Braking

Best Review for the Vredestein Quatrac
Given 77% 205/55 R16 on a combination of roads for 7 spirited miles
They grip surprisingly well for an all season tire in the dry and snow. I have these mounted on a 8th generation Honda civic sedan with the r18 engine and these tires have me absolutely glued to the ground. I replaced my old Goodyear eagle "all season" tire which had the snow performance of a summer tire in the snow and didn't even preform well in wet or dry. But back to the vredestein, I once was screwing around (dry, 65°f) taking a highway exchang ramp a bit too fast, I hit one rather sharp bend at probably 55+mph and didn't break traction for a second, no tire squeal or anything.

Conclusion

The Vredestein Quatrac emerges as the more complete all-season package, winning every shared test and dominating wet categories: up to 14% shorter wet-braking distance (51.1 m vs 43.9 m in 2025) and faster wet handling/circle times across multiple tests. It complements that with quieter running, longer tread life (+7-12% wear in the 2023/2024 data), and stronger overall value scores.

The BFGoodrich Advantage All Season makes a solid case where it counts for winter and efficiency-minded drivers: repeatedly shorter dry stops, consistently better snow traction/braking/handling, lower rolling resistance, and slightly reduced fuel consumption. If your climate leans wet most of the year, the Quatrac's safety margin is compelling. If you face regular light-to-moderate snow and value efficiency, the BFGoodrich is a savvy, balanced alternative.
Key Differences
  • Overall results: Quatrac wins all 5 shared tests; BFGoodrich none
  • Wet safety: Quatrac markedly shorter wet-braking (up to ~14%) and faster wet handling
  • Dry braking: BFGoodrich typically stops shorter by ~3%
  • Snow performance: BFGoodrich leads in traction, braking, and handling on snow
  • Efficiency: BFGoodrich has lower rolling resistance and marginally better fuel economy
  • Longevity and comfort: Quatrac wears longer (+7-12%) and runs slightly quieter

Footnote

This page has been developed using tyre industry testing best practices. This means we are only comparing tests which have had both tyres in the same test.

Why is this important? Tyre testing is heavily affected by things like surface grip levels and surface temperature, which means you can only compare values from the same day. During a tyre test external condition changes are calculated into the overall results, but it is not possible to calculate this between tyre tests performed on different days or at different locations.

As a result you will see other tests on Tyre Reviews which feature both the %s and %s, but as they weren't conducted on the same day, the results are not comparable.

Lots of other websites do this sort of tyre comparison, Tyre Reviews doesn't.
