Continental AllSeasonContact 2 vs Vredestein Quatrac
The pattern is clear: Vredestein leans into exceptional wet-weather security-especially aquaplaning resistance and short wet/dry stops-while Continental majors on balanced capability with notably strong snow performance, better efficiency, and generally lower wear. Overall rankings slightly favour Continental, but the right choice depends on whether your toughest days are heavy rain or winter cold.

Vredestein Quatrac Driver Reviews
Drivers largely praise the Vredestein Quatrac for excellent wet grip, strong snow and cold-weather traction, and impressive tread life, with many noting quiet, comfortable cruising. Handling in the dry is generally good, though a few find it less engaging than top summer options and mention elevated noise on some cars. A small minority report poor wet/dry grip or noise concerns, but high-scoring reviews emphasize balanced all-season performance and value. Overall, the Quatrac delivers dependable year-round capability with standout wet performance and durability.

Conclusion
Vredestein Quatrac is the wet-road specialist. It repeatedly tops straight and curved aquaplaning, and often stops shorter in both wet and dry. It also brings precise, sporty steering feel. The trade-offs are higher rolling resistance on average and, in several tests, quicker wear. If your priority is maximum rain-storm confidence and sharp responses at a keener price, the Quatrac fits brilliantly. The practical takeaway: choose Continental for balanced, winter-capable efficiency; choose Vredestein for rain-first safety and dynamics.
Key Differences
- Wet safety emphasis: Quatrac dominates aquaplaning and often wet braking; Continental is strong but less dominant here.
- Winter capability: Continental leads snow traction/handling across multiple tests; Quatrac is competent but usually trails.
- Efficiency: Continental repeatedly wins rolling resistance and shows lower fuel use; Quatrac trends higher RR.
- Wear/mileage: Continental shows better longevity in 2023 and mixed but competitive results in 2024/2025; Quatrac can wear faster.
- Dry behavior: Quatrac often edges dry braking; dry handling is a wash with minor swings by test.
- Value: Quatrac frequently scores better on price/value; Continental can cost more despite strong efficiency.

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.
