Performance Analysis

Across 16 tests, the Vredestein Quatrac Pro delivers consistently excellent wet performance and strong subjective comfort/noise, but shows recurring weaknesses in aquaplaning resistance, snow capability, and rolling resistance. Its average overall position of 5.6 reflects frequent top-tier wet results (including multiple wins) offset by mid-pack dry braking and notable deficits in aquaplaning and winter metrics.
In sports and larger-size fitments it often excels in wet handling/braking and remains competitively priced, but it trails class leaders in straight-line dry and especially in snow/ice tests. Awards and frequent top-3 wet placements indicate a clear strength in wet grip dynamics, while multiple bottom-tier aquaplaning and snow outcomes constrain its all-weather versatility.
