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 2 tests in 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.

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.

Nokian Seasonproof 2

Owners generally rate the Nokian Seasonproof 2 highly, most often praising its strong wet grip and reassuring all-round safety, alongside a quiet, comfortable ride. Snow traction is also frequently highlighted as impressively winter-like for an all-season tyre, with dry-road grip getting positive mentions too. A meaningful minority report mixed feelings about steering precision and stability at higher speeds, and around one in five owners mention fuel economy/rolling resistance not being as good as hoped.
- Strong wet grip and confidence in rain
- Low road noise (quiet motorway and around town)
- Comfortable, compliant ride quality
- Very capable traction in snow for an all-season tyre
- Steering feel can be a bit vague or not very direct
- Mixed stability at higher speeds (some report nervousness)
- Fuel economy/rolling resistance can be disappointing

All 21 Seasonproof 2 reviewsAfter installing the Seasonproof 1 and being happy with it, I decided to put on the Seasonproof 2 and it has improved a lot... good performance in water, they provide safety and are very comfortable... they are not sports tyres, but in water they provide safety... I don't know how they perform in snow... silent just like the Seasonproof 1... happy ☺ so far good wear.
Vredestein Quatrac Pro+

Owners are broadly pleased with the Vredestein Quatrac Pro Plus, with 12 of 14 reviews scoring it positively and an average owner rating of 80.9%. The most consistent strengths are strong wet grip and reassuring all-round traction, with many also highlighting confident dry grip and capable performance in snow. A meaningful minority (around one in five) report a softer, less precise steering feel and a tyre that needs a longer bedding-in period, and a similar share raise concerns over tread life or durability.
- Excellent wet grip, even in cold and wet conditions
- Strong dry grip with confidence for spirited driving
- Surprisingly capable snow traction
- Predictable dry handling
- Softer, less precise steering feel/feedback
- Noticeable bedding-in period before it feels at its best
- Reduced margin at the limit or a slight delay finding grip under load

All 15 Quatrac Pro+ reviews"I purchased these all-season premium tires for my 4WD Subaru Outback, and I am extremely satisfied with them. As soon as they were installed, the car felt remarkably smooth and pleasant to drive.
The tires are wearing perfectly evenly, and I’ve already rotated them once. I used to be hesitant about all-season tires, but this brand completely convinced me that I made the right choice. While tire selection always depends on the specific car, driving style, and usage, these have worked out incredibly well for my Outback. Highly recommended!

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 two new-school all-season tourers against each other: the Nokian Seasonproof 2 and the Vredestein Quatrac Pro Plus. Both target year-round convenience in a 215/55 R17 fitment, but their test results show different priorities and performance ceilings.
Across two independent 2025 tests, the Seasonproof 2 swept the categories that matter most-wet safety, snow confidence, and dry consistency-taking overall victory in both. The Quatrac Pro Plus remains a competent, mid-priced option with credible wet grip, but it trails the Nokian in nearly every measured discipline and is hampered by higher rolling resistance.
Conclusion
The data is decisive: Nokian's Seasonproof 2 delivers the stronger all-weather package, winning both tests and every shared braking/handling category. Its standout assets are wet safety (shortest wet stops and best wet handling), composed snow behavior, and low noise-traits that translate directly to everyday security and comfort. While it's positioned as mid-segment, its performance edges into premium territory.
Vredestein's Quatrac Pro Plus offers solid wet-road capability and acceptable dry manners at a likely lower price point, but it gives up ground in snow and efficiency. For drivers who rarely see winter and are cost-conscious, it remains viable. For anyone prioritizing safety across variable conditions, the Nokian is the clear, confidence-inspiring choice.

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.
