Performance Analysis

Vredestein Quatrac - Official Image

Across 14 all-season tests, the Vredestein Quatrac shows a repeatable pattern of class-leading wet and dry handling balance with competitive braking and excellent efficiency/value traits. It has multiple overall wins and podiums (1/17 AutoBild 2024, 2/17 AutoBild 2022, 1/13 AutoBild SUV 2020, 2/16 AutoBild 2020, 2/33 braking 2020, 2/37 braking 2022), and is frequently the fastest or among the fastest in wet handling. Wear and efficiency are often strong, supporting long-term value. Snow performance is adequate but not standout, and rolling resistance can vary.
Weaknesses emerge in snow braking/traction consistency and occasional mediocre dry braking. A single poor overall result (6/7 Auto Express 2024) contrasts with otherwise strong placements. Overall, Quatrac is a top-tier all-season choice prioritizing wet control, stable dry dynamics, and solid longevity/value, with only moderate compromises in snow bite and some efficiency variance.
