6th of 16 tires
  • The Vredestein Quatrac tire achieves only a satisfactory rating for safety on dry, wet, and winter roads. On dry surfaces, it shows its weakest performance, offering average steering feedback and lacking precision. The driver needs to make occasional corrections, and the tire could be more stable during dynamic evasive maneuvers. However, its braking distance is slightly above average, earning a good rating.

    On wet roads, the Quatrac narrowly misses a good overall rating. It scores well in braking and aquaplaning tests but receives only a satisfactory rating in wet handling due to excessive under- and oversteer, affecting precise control on the handling course.

    In winter conditions, the Vredestein also achieves only a satisfactory result. While it secures a good rating in traction tests, it falls short in braking and handling. The test vehicle lacks precision in steering, with grip limits at a satisfactory level. Ice braking performance is slightly below average.

    Environmentally, the Hungarian-made Vredestein Quatrac achieves a good result. It scores well in projected mileage and wear. In efficiency, the Quatrac excels with very low fuel consumption and comparatively low weight.

2024 Auto Express All Season Tire Test
6th of 7 tires
  • The Vredestein placed sixth overall, with clear strengths in snow conditions. It took three podium spots in snow tests, including first in handling where it showed good balance and precision. Wet performance was less competitive, with sixth place finishes across all tests. Wet braking lagged 1.6m behind the tight group of premium tires, with similar gaps on the wet circle. Straight-line aquaplaning was average, while curved testing showed bigger gaps. The tire was 2.5 seconds off the pace in wet handling despite showing decent balance. Dry braking was mid-pack, and though last in dry handling, it was within one second of the fastest time. The Vredestein recorded strong rolling resistance scores, second best among all-season tires.

Questions and Answers for the Vredestein Quatrac

2020-11-26 - Hi, I'm interested the vredestein quatrac tire but when I'm searching for these tires to buy I can only find either 'pro' or '5' written at the end. This review doesn't state which these are? Also I'm after 225/45r18 and 245/40 r18 size, does this tire exist in these sizes? .

The 'Quatrac' is a new tire which replaces the Quatrac 5. Vredestein will be releasing new sizes of the Quatrac all the time so hopefully they'll release a tire in your size soon.


2021-11-29 - Hi, looking at the Vredestein Quatrac in 195/65 R15, would these be suitable for a classic car with tubes? I have spoked wire wheels, so need to use tubes, but do less than 2k miles/yr but in all conditions. Also, what speed rating would you recommend? i assume it effects side wall stiffness, my car only weighs 1043kg Kind regards, Mr Collins .

Officially, I'd say no as tubeless tires are not meant for tubes due to friction. However, I have heard of people running similar tires with tubes on rally events etc.


2023-10-26 - What is the initial tread depth of the Vredestein Quatrac tires?.

Tread depth can vary by size, but for our test of the Quatrac this year, we measured at 7.6mm.

Top 3 Vredestein Quatrac Reviews

Given 91% while driving a Mazda CX 3 (215/60 R16) on a combination of roads for 21,000 average miles
I have driven 35 000 km, the front tires have 4,5 mm remaining, the rear tires have 5,5 mm remaining. I've driven in all types of surfaces (even a proper muddy offroad) and I've driven for 2 years during 4 seasons in Slovakia. The performance they can perform on snow mud is amazing. I don't have a single complaint about the tires. They grip fantastically on water, they only skid in really extreme manoeuvres, that's way beyond my driving ability. They are comfortable, they filter out bumps very well. I would buy again, the manufacturer has created the perfect product.
