    Do you know how the new Vredestein Quatrac compares when worn?

    I'm really curious which winter and summer tires they used as reference. Certainly not class leading because with these numbers why you would ever buy anything else than a CroosClimate+ or Vector 4 S2 seeing that they beat the specialist tires on their home turf?

      We would also love to know what reference tires were used. In the past, Auto Bild have chosen premium tires, and I can't see why they would have chosen differently this time.

    Really nice real world test. We don't see many tests like this. Also, I would like to point something that's been bothering me for a while. Why isn't there a snow performance category when reviewing all season and snow tires. I think it would be very useful as it's one of the most important factors when considering snow or all season tires.

      Could you define "snow performance"? Nearly all the tests include snow braking, traction and handling, which is a fairly rounded performance view of the tires :)

        Sorry for not being clearer, I meant when users rate their tires :). There are the same categories for all the tires from dry petformance to would you buy again and I think that a snow performance category would be useful for snow and all season tires.

          Ah, sorry for the misunderstanding :)

          You are correct, but keep in mind Tire Reviews is a UK based site, where we only really get 2 days of snow every 5 years. This means many of our reviewers don't get the consistent snow running to make a judgement on how good the tires are in the snow, so at the time of development I thought it would be best to leave snow performance out.

          It's something I'll consider for the new site in 2018 :)

            Thanks, I hope you do include it because it would be useful for people outside the UK that use this site like me. Also, good luck working on the new site, looking forward to seeing it.

            And people in UK never go abroad for winter/ski holidays ? ! Snow performance is interesting even if it is only very few days a year.

            Then you can make it optional or like - not enough data to rate. Whoever has it - rate it, whoever does not feel it can rate it - leave it aside unrated.

    Great to see tests like this being conducted, there was so much based on marketing and hearsay in the past, now we're starting to get really scientific, useful tests. Long may it continue!
    Any chance of a link to autobild? Ill find it but sometimes they can be difficult to find...

      It's not yet on the Auto Bild website, I'll link it as soon as it is :)

    Thanks for importing and translating this German article with great graphs. Just to add this test was done with tire size 185/65 R 15 on Opel Corsa...and the new all seasons Contis couldn't make it to the test from timing reasons (not available at the beginning of the test).

      Thanks for the added information :) It took a while to workout the best way to graph them!
