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 11 tests, 2023 to 2026

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.

Scores beyond the shared tests

On the Tyre Reviews Score, which weighs every test and review we hold, the Turanza All Season 6 scores 9.4 and the Quatrac 9.5 out of 10.

Bridgestone Turanza All Season 6

  • 79%from 44 reviews
  • 76%would buy again
  • 393,509 milesdriven by reviewers

Owners broadly rate the Bridgestone Turanza All Season 6 as a very safe, summer-leaning all-season tyre, with a clear consensus around strong wet grip (mentioned by over half of reviewers) and similarly impressive dry grip. Snow traction is generally described as capable for occasional winter use, and around a third of owners also report encouraging tread life. The main drawbacks are feel and efficiency: around one in four owners complain of numb steering feedback and a similar share report higher rolling resistance/fuel consumption, while road noise is divisive with near-even praise and criticism.

  • Very strong wet grip and confidence in heavy rain
  • High dry grip that feels close to a summer tyre
  • Capable snow traction for light to moderate winter conditions
  • Good tread life for year-round use
  • Numb steering feel and limited feedback near the limit
  • Higher rolling resistance and a noticeable fuel economy hit for some
  • Road noise can be intrusive on certain surfaces, despite others finding it quiet

Summarised by AI from 43 vetted reviews; the reviews themselves are on the tyre page.

Now nearly 2 years and 20k miles in. These tyres are still as good as they were new and tread has only dropped to 5-6mm all round, suggesting >40,000 miles a set which is more than the OE Pirelli P7 summer tyres managed. Have experienced winter slush and light snow without any grip issues, when the car felt stable and safe, but as I live on the south coast with regular trips to family in Yorkshire, they don’t need to be a dedicated winter tyre. Economy unchanged around 45mpg overall, 50mpg on a motorway run. For my use, these have been very impressive and I would be happy to replace them with another set, although there may be even better choices in 3 years when these should be just about done.

Vredestein Quatrac

  • 81%from 30 reviews
  • 86%would buy again
  • 345,646 milesdriven by reviewers

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.

Finally 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.

Bridgestone's Turanza All Season 6 and Vredestein's Quatrac sit in the same “premium-touring all-season” space, but the shared test data shows they go about the all-season compromise in very different ways. Across nine common tests, Bridgestone repeatedly leans toward summer-tyre traits (short dry stops, crisp road manners, and strong efficiency/mileage results in several tests), while Vredestein more often prioritizes all-weather security (wet handling, aquaplaning resilience, quieter running, and consistently stronger snow metrics).

The headline is that neither tyre is simply “better everywhere.” The Turanza All Season 6 dominates dry braking in this dataset (8 wins out of 8 measured comparisons), yet the Quatrac more consistently wins dynamic wet control (5/5 in wet handling) and winter capability (notably 4/4 wins in snow braking where measured). If your climate and driving style skew to one side of the all-season spectrum, the data makes the choice clearer than the similar “recommended” awards might suggest.

Conclusion

Taken as a pattern across multiple sources, the Bridgestone Turanza All Season 6 is the safer bet for drivers who value dry-road emergency stopping, a more “summer-like” steering/handling feel, and strong long-run costs. In repeated direct measurements it stops materially shorter on dry roads (e.g., 36.1 m vs 38.6 m in 225/40 R18; 37.6 m vs 40.6 m in 215/55 R17), and it also shows notable wear/value advantages in some AutoBild datasets (e.g., 59,150 km vs 45,850 km wear in 2025 AutoBild 225/40 R18; plus better value score in that test). The trade-off is that it tends to lag on objective snow pace and often doesn't match Quatrac's wet-handling authority when conditions are truly slippery.

The Vredestein Quatrac, by contrast, reads like the more “true all-season” option: it more frequently wins wet handling, straight/curved aquaplaning metrics, noise, and most snow categories. It's the consistent pick for rain-heavy regions and for drivers who want calm, quiet touring with extra winter reassurance-illustrated by wins like 58.0 m vs 61.3 m wet braking in the 2025 Autobild SUV test and repeated advantages across snow braking/traction/handling. The cost of that security is typically longer dry braking and, in at least one major test set, higher wear-so the best practical takeaway is: pick Bridgestone if your reality is mostly dry/wet tarmac with only occasional light snow, and pick Quatrac if you routinely face heavy rain, standing water, or regular winter conditions and are willing to accept a softer, less “summer-precise” feel.

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.
