Another great alternative to low profile wheels that roll on mainly mild climates. I bought this ones as they were very well priced and the new Michelin Cross Climate 2 were not (yet) available on the required size, to be used as a Winter alternative to the Pilot Sport 4. Once again, using an All-Season tire proved to be the right choice for this particular car and location (Southeast England) especially when compared to the full winter set of SottoZero 3 I had before. These tires are, it seems, fairly unknown on the testing/reviewing world as I see the regular Quatrac (and the old 5) which have a different tread pattern everywhere (including here on tire reviews), but potentially a similar compound mix (@Jonathan - this one is for you, can you include the UHP pattern of the Quatrac Pro on a review? I think it needs updating! thanks!). What they are for sure is a very interesting tire that retained very important dynamic characteristics from the summer tire design, maybe due to the dual pattern they have on the surface. Pros: - Excellent dry and wet grip, within a wide range of temperatures; - The sidewall looks soft but behaves remarkably similar to the Pilot Sport 4 in this size; - Not fascinating in feel and feedback but very progressive and allows to play or position the car mid corner as if wearing a set of summers; - Comfort seems to be quite acceptable! - Did I mention how dynamic they are even in the wet?! - Price Cons: - Rolling resistance and noise are not brilliant; - Despite my very limited experience with this particular set, they did not seem to be the kind of all-season that enjoys snow and ice... They are just ok to take you out until you reach a gritted surface but I wouldn't take them much further for a snowy hill adventure. Conclusion: These tires are a unicorn for small hot hatches that rarely see any snow, but have the need of park their ultra high performance summer tires for the winter, or like to be safe with a get out of jail card. The grip levels in both dry and wet are always higher than expected at both low and mild temperatures, and they seemed very progressive. I wouldn't take them out for a remote snowy location as I feel that it isn't at all the aim of these tires but I can imagine them being able to perform well in a technical circuit for a winter track day and that says a lot. Alternatives? Yes, the new Michelin Cross Climate 2 are now available on this size but for the use I give to the car and the price they both sit on, the Vredenstein Quatrac Pro were a very pleasant surprise, which I can no doubt recommend!

Review from Switzerland: Quatrac Pro 275/45/20 on a Porsche Cayenne S. (4x4 , V8) First of all I need to say It`s so cool to see that lots of Quatrac Pro drivers experience the smooth ride (because this is what every driver wants , no ?) I explain my decision for the Quatrc Pro and also why I bought this while living in Switzerland and having a tinyhouse in the Swiss Alps (Lauterbrunnen - Grindelwald Area) I`m also a tire-freak same es John and many others here :) I have read a lot of reviews , here but also in the German magazines (Autobild) from the beginning this Quatrac Pro has been a very high rated tire it`s not the best for snow (that`s right) but it safe for snow and that`s maybe the most important part. Here in Switzerland they are a bit old fashion - they better play safe and lots of people drive with full winter in winter, and full sommer in sommer, but as you all know the climate can change quickly.. stronger snowfall (earlier as exspected) or `later` then expected as we have lived 4 years right in the middle of the Alps at that time I bought Quatrac 5 on our Land Rover Discovery Sport, I have driven that tire in full snow, mountain roads everything and I was flabberguested how good the Quatrac 5 was on our Land Rover. As we own now an heavy Cayenne S (with V8 and 4x4) (2008) I was looking for 1 set of tires which keep us safe all year long and most important --> with a smooth and compfy ride and which will do a good job in the wet and I need to admit,... the look / design of the Quatrac Pro is really good! I had the CrossClimate+ on our A3 but that Tank-Pattern (V-shape) I never liked it to be honest.. So I decided to go for the Quatrac Pro (based on good experiences with the Quatrac 5) and I`m very positieve about this tire. Smooth, comfy, looks great, fuel alright everthintg good: The only test I haven`t done yet with the Porsche is driving in snow (this will be a challange cause we have 275/45/20) but as they predict snow for next weekend I will update with a short Snow-Review. The Quatrac Pro is driving very comfy, sporty as well and looks fantastisc! knowing that the Quatrac Pro is really really good in the wet I think this is for every person who don`t like to change the wheels and want to be safe all year long. It all depends on in what area you live, what car you drive (rwd,fwd,awd) and also what do you expect from a tire. We don`t go racing in winter, so we will be safe with the Quatrac, if you like to race in snow conditions then of course the Wintrac Pro is a much better option but: the Quatrac Pro has a lot of potential. I will update soon with a Snow-Review-Update. Kind Regards from Switzerland. Maurice

Having had a proper winter this year, it was interesting to see how these tires fared. I'd heard good things about their dry handling and feedback, but to be frank was sceptical about how a non-directional tire would fare in the snow. The answer was pretty good - maybe not quite as good as Nokian WR-D's or similar but with decent power on tap those wouldn't be the best on dry or wet roads which is TBH the norm for most of an English winter. I went on some seriously rural roads including 1 in 5 hills with over 7cm of snow and going uphill on shot ice and didn't spin a wheel. The handling figure given is an estimate as you'd have to be driving like the Original Nutta to get them to unstick in the Forester which is not a good idea with typical road conditions round here i.e. a dry stone wall on one side and a 150ft drop ont' other. Unless I end up moving to a snowy part of the Highlands I'll get some more. How they would do on a hot summer's day i don't know, but then it would always be the Nokian Powerproofs for me when the weather's warm.

Review your Vredestein Quatrac Pro >

Had a full set fitted to my remapped Skoda Rapid space SE sport 1.6tdi. Been running Goodyear Asymmetric 6's. Which were much better than the Continental's it came with.
Thought I'd go with an all season tire this time . So far done 500 miles and they are exceeding my expectations. They are as comfortable ride as the Goodyear's. Possibly even better . Mpg seems not too bad just done a trip of 80 miles. On combination of motorway and A road's got 59.8 mpg. Weather was a bit mucky and cold average temp on the trip was 5'c tire's felt good very safe feeling..

Bought as a replacement for Hankooks that came with vehicle. Quatracs were noticeably softer but that was the only difference. Nice ride on 18s that suits the Taigo R Line (auto, 150hp) No more crashing/ jarring over bumps, etc. Now reached 5K miles on these & very happy. Excellent wet performance. Fine in the dry. No issues whatsoever. Would happily buy again. Recommended for the UK where harsh winter conditions are rare. My second set of All Seasons & beat the Bridgstones I had (& would never buy again!)

I bought them because i wantet some all-season tires that are comfortabel, safe and non-directional in the tread-pattern. That so i can rotate them and get a longer live out of them.
They are very comfortabel and quiet on our rough asphalt roads. I don`t think that there are many other tires that are that quiet and comfortabel than the Vredesteins. They are also very good in the rain. They behaved also good in the occasionally snow we have in the spring and the fall. But traction on ice seems limited. For the winter months i use studded wintertires.
I drove them camly and relaxed on mostly country roads. With roating them every 9.000 km, they wore very even and kept their functions very well. But they wore very fast. After 3 seasons and 30.000 km i only have just under 4 mm tread left. Which soon makes them non legal as an all-season tire here in Norway (min. 3 mm tread).

I was planning to replace them with the same tire or even the quatrac pro+, but now i`m thinking about to get som light all-terrain tires for a longer treadlife while still functioning as all-season tires. I think i will go for the Yokohama G015 or the Falken AT3WA.

I've been thoroughly impressed with this tire. Between road noise being nearly silent, feedback! and overall grip in dry, wet and snow. I would consider myself a spirited driver. I live in the greater London area and 99% of the roads are paved. I have driven in light snow up and down the country in wet and this has left me with nothing but confidence in these tires. Hydro/Aquaplaning is a thing of the past with these. Have never experienced it on the motorway even going thru standing water. These are on my 2011 Chevrolet Orlando 7 seater with independent front suspension and solid rear axle. We are a family of 6 and the car is often times fully loaded up whether with family and roofbox mounted or hauling to the tip. I have them rotated in an X formation once a year. Most of the driving I do is school run and local driving. The majority of longer drives are 1hr round trip. I've managed to get 38000 miles out of these tires and I strongly believe they're probably good for another 10k. I haven't measured them but there is very little signs of wear (see pic attached). Considering I have electric steering on the vehicle, the feedback I get from these tires are phenomenal. I have driven BMWs most of my life and it comes really really close. The only detriment would be in fuel consumption. Before the tires (on very worn Cooper Zeons), I'd get about 32mpg on average. With these and they've been consistent from new to now, around 29.6mpg on average.

Excellent tire for all seasons. I use them as a winter set because I live in an area where there is little snow in the winter but there is a lot of rain and temperatures are -3 to +15, so I don't need real winter tires. Extremely quiet tire, excellent both in the wet and in the dry, and solid in the snow. I have covered about 30,000 km and now they have 6.5 mm. It is also very comfortable and resistant to hitting potholes on the road, of which there are many in Serbia. The only downside is the high price. Next set I will try Kleber Quadraxer3 or Fulda Multicontrol because they are cheaper in size 225/50r17

Bought a discovery 2 and immediately fitted vredistien quatrac Pro as we had just moved to a rural area in the Highlands of Scotland as winter was approaching.
I found the ride and drive in wet and dry conditions to be responsive and tire feed back positive . Noise levels where negligible .
These tires came into their own when it realy started to snow and temps went down to double digits ..driven through blizzards ,packed snow, ice and deep fresh snow always with an eye on safe stopping .
I only ever overly tested cornering and stopping on ice and snow on the day to see what conditions where like and traction control and abs would only come on when pushing it..have done over twenty k in winter conditions and can only praise these tires . Great peace of mind . I guess driving 18 inch rims and 155 55 r18 on a 2 tonne 4× 4 may make a difference but highly recommend for any large 4×4 owners. I started to see the treads crumbling slightly at 30k but put that down to the local sharp granite chippings ..Will probably have to change at around 40 k for peace of mind for next winter

Super grip in wet really tested on 3 journeys inspired total confidence
Super quiet totally changed my kia sportage gt linexs from sooooo noisy on factory fit continental to so quiet now
Great tire definitely buy agahD these on last car as well same excellent feeling about tires that was tiguan

UPDATE. On November 12, 2021 I posted my initial review of this tire (Quatrac Pro 225/60/18) mounted on Subaru Outback. Here is an update after only 14k kms of easy driving. The tires are not "holding up.)." Shortly after initial installation I noticed vibrations. I attempted to balance them twice and rotated them. No results. Finally, the third time last Fall, an expert with a Hunter Road Force machine had a try. Three out of 4 tires showed defect... exerting way excessive Nm force. (110, 120, and 140) FYI. 90 or below is normal, I was told. I wrote to Vredestein customer service here in Germany about it but they brushed me off twice. Talk to the dealer answer. So, I decided to keep them over the winter and now I will discard them off and look for something else. Good that I have kept OEM wheels. (Vredestein were installed on "fancy" Flow Form Enkei rims which were also checked for the possible contribution to the problem but came clean) Again, the car was driven regularly although sparingly and never off road to cause damage to the tires. So, in this case not a quality tire and not a quality customer service. However, must report that in late 202 (after being impressed with the tire) 1 I have also installed same Qatar Pro tires on my Subaru XV (225/55/18 this time) and after 20k kms absolutely no balancing/quality problems. Wear is good and perfect.ly normal. Go figure, as they say.

These tires seriously saved my ass in some pretty difficult snow/slush conditions. I got caught in some really heavy snow while driving north to visit family, I ended up driving 5 hours on the interstate with slush all over the roads and these tires did unbelievably well for all-seasons. I 100% would have had to bail out if I had even slightly inferior tires. These are a really great winter tire choice for a sports car if you live somewhere that only occasionally gets snow and daily the car.

I have mounted the Vredestein Quatrac Pro on my Kia Sportage and have driven 4,000 kilometers on mainly city highways in dry weather, so I cannot yet assess all the tire's qualities. However, I have perceived great improvements over original equipment Hankook: better grip, better comfort, better feel and absolute quietness. also not bad rim saver, recommended. I look forward to testing them in extreme conditions. At that point I will update my review.

Although I've been using these tires for a bit, and the dry and wet performance has been exemplary for an all season, I finally had the opportunity to test their snow performance yesterday - and they're pretty good. They got tried on dry snow, slush and this morning on ice, with no problems getting anywhere even though it's quite hilly round here. Snow traction and braking are good, snow steering isn't maybe quite as good as Nokians I've used before, but then the Vredesteins are much, much better in the dry/at higher temperatures than they were, so overall they're a winner in my view.

Update. After almost two years and 15 thousand km, I am increasingly convinced that the Quatrac Pro is the best tire I have used so far. Recently he surprised me in a sequence of wide curves tackled at 200 km/h. By now I have become familiar with the shoulder that initially yields but then settles down, allowing you to travel exceptional trajectories for a 4 seasons. Thinking back to how well it performed last winter in Germany with temperatures around -7 and how satisfying it is to use it in sporting use in the torrid Sicilian summers, I have the distinct feeling of owning two dedicated tires in one. Truly stunning product.
