Performance Analysis
Drawn from 16 tests. Updated September 10, 2025.
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.

2024 Motorhome Camper Van All Season Tyre Test
The Dutch brand Vredestein – strong in lowland winter.
2022 Sport Auto All Season Tyre Test
Very Good.
2022/23 Tyre Reviews All Season Tyre Test
The Vredestein Quatrac Pro finishes in seventh place overall. This tyre was an absolute beast in the wet with the shortest wet braking by over a meter, and the fastest wet handling lap by a significant margin! Sadly, a midpack dry braking was the next best highlight as the tyre struggled in both aquaplaning tests, had low grip on the snow and a very high rolling resistance.
2020 Tyre Reviews All Season Tyre Test
The Quatrac Pro is the only asymmetric pattern all season tyre in the test, and that seems to have hindered it in all key all season tests.
