Data updated
Which should you buy?
Choose the Vredestein Quatrac if you want the best safety margin in rain and better all-round road performance (it's the consistent dry/wet braking winner and places far higher overall). Choose the Dunlop All Season 2 mainly if you regularly face snow/ice and also value low running costs-just be aware its wet/dry stopping distances are repeatedly worse, and ADAC specifically flags that imbalance.
Where the All Season 2 is stronger
- Stronger winter performance, especially snow traction and snow braking (e.g., ADAC 2026 traction 2584 N vs 2380 N; AutoBild 2025 traction 2931 N vs 2710 N)
- Ice braking advantage in the ADAC 2026 test (20.7 m vs 22.3 m)
- Very strong mileage/cost case in AutoBild testing (e.g., 68,600 km vs 45,850 km in AutoBild 2025; also wins “value” in AutoBild 2024/2025)
Where the Quatrac is stronger
- Consistently shorter dry braking across all shared results (5/5 wins; e.g., ADAC 2026: 42 m vs 45 m; AutoBild 2025: 40.3 m vs 42.5 m)
- Consistently shorter wet braking across all shared results (5/5 wins; e.g., AutoBild 2025: 43.9 m vs 49.3 m; ADAC 2026: 35.1 m vs 38.0 m)
- Generally stronger wet handling and aquaplaning resistance (AutoBild 2025 wet handling 75.5 vs 71.7 km/h; straight aquaplaning 76.8 vs 69.4 km/h)

Wins count every measurement the shared tests recorded for both tires; a tick marks the tire ahead on that line. Subjective driver scores count as wins but are never averaged, because each test uses its own scale.
Head to head in 6 tests, 2024 to 2026
Each row is one published test in which both tires ran on the same car, in the same size, on the same day. The line is the whole field, winner on the left.

In each test the better of the two figures counts as 100% and the other as its share of it, so a 118 ft stop against 112 ft is 95%; each spoke averages the shared tests that recorded it. The scale stops at 92%: a point further in sits on the hub's edge, hollow. 9 measurements recorded in only one shared test are left off; every measurement is in the table further down.

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.

Dunlop All Season 2
- 70%from 7 reviews
- 43%would buy again
- 47,065 milesdriven by reviewers
Drivers' feedback on the Dunlop All Season 2 is mixed but generally favorable, with the highest-scoring reviews strongly praising confident all-season traction-especially in wet and colder conditions-and good real-world mileage. Several users also describe it as good value and secure in everyday driving. A smaller but recurring set of comments mentions noticeable noise/squeal and less satisfying handling/understeer on warmer, dry roads; one very low score reports poor sidewall durability but this is not widely echoed.
- Strong grip/traction in wet and cold conditions
- Good all-season versatility (including light snow capability)
- Good tread life/mileage when maintained
- Good value for money
- Noticeable road noise/squeaking
- Less precise handling on warm/dry roads (can feel like understeer)
Summarised by AI from 7 vetted reviews; the reviews themselves are on the tire page.
All 7 All Season 2 reviewsFrom my experience tire is very good in cold, wet and damp condition. On dry and warmer asphalt not so great at handling.
Wear is expetional, they wear very little.
Vredestein Quatrac
- 81%from 30 reviews
- 86%would buy again
- 345,646 milesdriven by reviewers
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.
Dunlop's All Season 2 and Vredestein's Quatrac sit in the same “premium-touring all-season” brief, but the shared test data shows they chase that brief in very different ways. Across five overlapping comparisons (spanning 15-18 inch and 17-18 inch fitments), the Quatrac repeatedly posts the stronger road-safety results in the conditions most drivers see most often: dry and especially wet.
The Dunlop, by contrast, consistently leans winter-ward. It regularly beats the Quatrac on snow traction/braking (and even ice braking in the ADAC test), and it often pairs that with strong efficiency/value metrics. The trade-off, and it's a meaningful one in several tests, is longer stopping distances on dry and wet roads-enough for ADAC to flag it as too one-sided for a broad all-season recommendation.
Conclusion
If you want the safer, more “all-round” on-road performer, the Vredestein Quatrac is the clear head-to-head winner in this dataset. It wins dry braking in all five shared results and wet braking in all five, with gaps that aren't trivial: for example, in AutoBild 2025 it stops ~5.4 m shorter in the wet (43.9 m vs 49.3 m), and in ADAC 2026 it's ~2.9 m shorter (35.1 m vs 38.0 m). It also tends to lead on aquaplaning (e.g., 76.8 vs 69.4 km/h straight-aqua in AutoBild 2025) and places much higher overall (4th vs 12th in AutoBild 2025; 4th vs 10th in ADAC 2026).
The Dunlop All Season 2 makes sense primarily for drivers who genuinely prioritize winter mobility and running costs over wet/dry stopping performance. It repeatedly out-pulls the Quatrac on snow traction (e.g., 2931 N vs 2710 N in AutoBild 2025; 2584 N vs 2380 N in ADAC 2026) and often brakes better on snow, and it can look very compelling on economics (AutoBild 2025: 68,600 km predicted wear vs 45,850 km for Quatrac, plus better value/price-per-1000). The practical takeaway: Quatrac is the safer mainstream choice for mixed, rain-prone climates; Dunlop is a niche pick for drivers who face real snow/ice regularly and can accept a notable wet/dry safety penalty.

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.
