Dunlop All Season 2 vs Vredestein Quatrac
The Dunlop counters with class-leading longevity, low abrasion and lower running costs (rolling resistance and price/value). On snow they trade blows: Dunlop tends to offer stronger traction and slightly better stability, while Vredestein edges a few precision metrics. If you drive often in heavy rain the gaps are meaningful; if you value cost per mile, Dunlop's durability is hard to ignore.
Test Results
Independent comparison tyre tests are the best source of data to get tyre information from, and the good news is there have been four tests which compare both tyres directly!
| Tyre | Test Wins | Performance |
|---|---|---|
| Vredestein Quatrac | four |
While it might look like the Vredestein Quatrac is better than the Dunlop All Season 2 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.

- Lower rolling resistance and better fuel consumption
- Stronger snow traction and stable snow handling in several tests
- Best value per 1,000 km among the pair
- Class-leading wet braking and handling (+3-11% wet braking advantage)
- Superior aquaplaning resistance (straight and curved)
- Consistently shorter dry braking and precise, sporty steering
- Lower external noise levels

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.
