Braking distances and lap times are better when lower; speeds, wear and grip figures when higher. A test's figures are its own: sizes, cars, surfaces and temperatures differ from one to the next, which is why the averages here are only ever of tests the two tires shared. "Scored" rows are subjective driver ratings: each test uses its own scale, so only the wins are counted.
Scores beyond the shared tests

Drivers report the Vredestein Quatrac is a strong all-season tire, most often praised for excellent wet-road grip and confident performance in cold conditions, including light-to-moderate snow and ice. Many reviewers highlight strong longevity (often projecting 60-80k km) along with good comfort and generally low noise, making it a solid value alternative to pricier rivals. A minority note higher cabin noise on certain vehicles and slightly less sharp/softer dry handling (especially in hotter temperatures) compared with more summer-focused tires.
- Excellent wet grip and confident wet braking
- Strong cold-weather performance (snow/ice capable for an all-season)
- Good longevity/treadwear and even wear reported by many
- Comfortable ride quality
- Can be noisier for some vehicles/sizes (noted by a minority)
- Dry handling/steering feel not as sporty or can feel softer in heat versus summer-oriented tires
Summarised by AI from 28 vetted reviews; the reviews themselves are on the tire page.
All 30 Quatrac reviewsFinally retired these at 55k miles. They were real good over all. Average: price and comfort. Above average: off road, snow and ice grip. Way above average: wet and dry grip. The wear was good too, if my alignment didn't go out I could've gotten about 62k out of these.
These tires went through hell and back. I took my car off road several times with these, they went through several snow storms including a couple blizzards. They never once let me down. I once got mired about 4" deep in muddy sand and was able to get out (fwd civic).
I ended up buying a new set of these. Very satisfied overall, I doubt there's another tire that has such good performance across the board without being costly. My new set was around mid $700s in total including mount, balance and disposal.

Reading the results
Written from the test results and owner reviews above. It is analysis, not a measurement: where it and the tables disagree, the tables are right.
This head-to-head pits the BFGoodrich Advantage All Season, a mainstream touring all-season, against the Vredestein Quatrac, a premium-touring all-season known for wet-road confidence. Across five shared professional tests from 2023-2025, the Quatrac consistently places higher overall (five test wins to none), driven largely by its standout wet performance.
Yet the story isn't one-sided. The BFGoodrich repeatedly delivers strong dry-braking and notably robust snow results, alongside efficiency advantages in rolling resistance and fuel use. The Quatrac counters with class-leading wet braking and handling, better aquaplaning margins, lower noise, and longer wear-traits that matter for year-round safety and value.
Conclusion
The Vredestein Quatrac emerges as the more complete all-season package, winning every shared test and dominating wet categories: up to 14% shorter wet-braking distance (51.1 m vs 43.9 m in 2025) and faster wet handling/circle times across multiple tests. It complements that with quieter running, longer tread life (+7-12% wear in the 2023/2024 data), and stronger overall value scores.
The BFGoodrich Advantage All Season makes a solid case where it counts for winter and efficiency-minded drivers: repeatedly shorter dry stops, consistently better snow traction/braking/handling, lower rolling resistance, and slightly reduced fuel consumption. If your climate leans wet most of the year, the Quatrac's safety margin is compelling. If you face regular light-to-moderate snow and value efficiency, the BFGoodrich is a savvy, balanced alternative.

Where this data comes from
Finishing positions and measurements are transcribed from each published test. A test only counts here when both tires ran in it, so every figure was recorded on the same car, size and day as the one it is compared to.
About the TR Score
The Tire Reviews Score rates each tire out of 10 from every independent test result and vetted owner review we hold, so two tires can be compared even before a test has run them together.
Who does the testing
Every test published as a Tire Reviews test is run by Jonathan Benson, who has been testing tires independently since 2007.
