Wins count every measurement the shared tests recorded for both tyres; a tick marks the tyre ahead on that line. Subjective driver scores count as wins but are never averaged, because each test uses its own scale.
Head to head in 3 tests, 2024 to 2025
Each row is one published test in which both tyres ran on the same car, in the same size, on the same day. The line is the whole field, winner on the left.

Point at or tap any spoke for both tyres' figures.
In each test the better of the two figures counts as 100% and the other as its share of it, so a 36 m stop against 34.2 m is 95%; each spoke averages the shared tests that recorded it. The scale stops at 80%: a point further in sits on the hub's edge, hollow.

Category scores are percentiles among tyres of the same season and class: 90 means this tyre out-performs 90% of them, measured across every test we hold, not only the ones it appeared in.
Every measurement, side by side
Averages of the figures both tyres posted in the same tests. The gap is the average of each test's own gap, so figures from different cars and years are never mixed. Open a discipline for its measurements, and a measurement for every test's figure.

Braking distances and lap times are better when lower; speeds, wear and grip figures when higher. A test's figures are its own: sizes, cars, surfaces and temperatures differ from one to the next, which is why the averages here are only ever of tests the two tyres shared. "Scored" rows are subjective driver ratings: each test uses its own scale, so only the wins are counted.

Drivers report the Vredestein Quatrac is a strong all-season tyre, most often praised for excellent wet-road grip and confident performance in cold conditions, including light-to-moderate snow and ice. Many reviewers highlight strong longevity (often projecting 60-80k km) along with good comfort and generally low noise, making it a solid value alternative to pricier rivals. A minority note higher cabin noise on certain vehicles and slightly less sharp/softer dry handling (especially in hotter temperatures) compared with more summer-focused tyres.
- Excellent wet grip and confident wet braking
- Strong cold-weather performance (snow/ice capable for an all-season)
- Good longevity/treadwear and even wear reported by many
- Comfortable ride quality
- Can be noisier for some vehicles/sizes (noted by a minority)
- Dry handling/steering feel not as sporty or can feel softer in heat versus summer-oriented tyres
Summarised by AI from 28 vetted reviews; the reviews themselves are on the tyre page.
All 30 Quatrac reviewsFinally retired these at 55k miles. They were real good over all. Average: price and comfort. Above average: off road, snow and ice grip. Way above average: wet and dry grip. The wear was good too, if my alignment didn't go out I could've gotten about 62k out of these.
These tires went through hell and back. I took my car off road several times with these, they went through several snow storms including a couple blizzards. They never once let me down. I once got mired about 4" deep in muddy sand and was able to get out (fwd civic).
I ended up buying a new set of these. Very satisfied overall, I doubt there's another tire that has such good performance across the board without being costly. My new set was around mid $700s in total including mount, balance and disposal.

Reading the results
Written from the test results and owner reviews above. It is analysis, not a measurement: where it and the tables disagree, the tables are right.
This head-to-head pits Semperit's AllSeason Grip, a value-orientated touring all-season tyre, against Vredestein's Quatrac, a premium-touring benchmark that consistently scores near the top of independent tests. Across three shared tests in 16-18-inch fitments, the Quatrac repeatedly outruns the Semperit on dry and wet braking and posts stronger aquaplaning resistance and efficiency.
Yet the story flips in true winter metrics. The Semperit counters with notably shorter stopping on snow and ice plus stronger snow traction, offering drivers in colder, snow-prone regions a tangible edge. The result is a classic split: Vredestein excels in year-round safety and longevity, while Semperit provides reassuring bite when temperatures plunge.
Conclusion
The Vredestein Quatrac is the more rounded, higher-ranked performer: top-5/30 and 5/37 in two broad-market tests and consistently shorter dry braking (by roughly 8-10%) and wet braking (about 6-7%), plus better straight and curved aquaplaning. It also wins on wear (+28% projected mileage), fuel use, and lower abrasion, strengthening its long-term value case despite its premium positioning.
Semperit's AllSeason Grip answers with convincing winter grip: best-in-set snow braking and meaningful advantages in snow traction and ice braking. If your winters bring frequent snow and ice and you prioritize cold-weather stopping over ultimate dry/wet precision, the Semperit's strengths are compelling. For most mixed-climate drivers seeking balanced safety, stability, and durability across the year, the Vredestein remains the safer, more economical bet over a tyre's life.

Where this data comes from
Finishing positions and measurements are transcribed from each published test. A test only counts here when both tyres ran in it, so every figure was recorded on the same car, size and day as the one it is compared to.
About the TR Score
The Tyre Reviews Score rates each tyre out of 10 from every independent test result and vetted owner review we hold, so two tyres can be compared even before a test has run them together.
Who does the testing
Every test published as a Tyre Reviews test is run by Jonathan Benson, who has been testing tyres independently since 2007.
