- Class-leading balance with top-3 results across most tests
- Consistently shorter dry, wet, and snow braking distances
- Excellent aquaplaning resistance (straight and curved)
At a glance
Based on 7 independent tire tests. Data last updated June 2026.

This head-to-head pits Continental's premium AllSeasonContact 2 against Vredestein's value-focused Quatrac Pro Plus across seven shared professional tests spanning hatchback, SUV and camper-van fitments. The data paints a consistent picture: Continental targets balanced, safety-first performance with efficiency; Vredestein leans on comfort and wet grip value at a lower price point.
Across dry, wet, snow and efficiency metrics, the Continental repeatedly finishes near the top, with standout aquaplaning resistance and notably lower rolling resistance. Vredestein counters with quieter operation and flashes of strong wet braking, but shows weaker precision on dry roads and average winter capability compared with the class leaders.
- Quietest operation in most tests
- Good wet grip with occasional wet-braking wins
- Comfortable ride and stable everyday manners

Real World Driver Reviews
Continental AllSeasonContact 2 Driver Reviews
Drivers generally report the Continental AllSeasonContact 2 as a highly capable, premium-feeling all-season tire, praised for strong wet grip, secure all-weather traction (including usable snow performance), and a noticeably quieter, more comfortable ride versus many summer or budget tires. Many also note stable, predictable behaviour across a wide temperature range and, in numerous high-scoring reviews, surprisingly good tread life. The main recurring drawback is steering feel: a meaningful minority describe softer sidewalls/on-centre vagueness and reduced precision (especially in warm/dry or more spirited driving), and some users report faster-than-expected wear.

Drivers of the Vredestein Quatrac Pro Plus report strong all-season capability with confident wet and snow traction, good high-speed stability, and a quiet, comfortable ride. Many found grip reliable across typical daily and motorway use, including winter trips, with several noting solid performance even in heat. A recurring criticism is a softer sidewall that can feel squishy and reduce steering precision, and a few mention slightly weaker dry cornering limits in hot conditions versus dedicated summer tires. Overall sentiment is notably positive with the negatives being minority concerns.

View all Vredestein Quatrac Pro Plus driver reviewsConclusion
Vredestein's Quatrac Pro Plus offers credible wet performance, high ride comfort and the quieter cabin many commuters value, typically at a lower purchase price. However, its longer dry stops, softer steering precision and average winter metrics make it less confidence-inspiring in mixed or severe weather. If you prioritise all-round safety and efficiency, choose the Continental; if budget and cabin quiet take precedence in a milder climate, the Vredestein remains a sensible, comfortable option.
Key Differences
- Continental ranks higher overall in all 7 shared tests (including multiple test wins).
- Dry safety: Continental consistently stops shorter (e.g., 5%+ advantage in several tests).
- Winter capability: Continental leads in snow/ice braking, traction and handling across tests.
- Aquaplaning: Continental shows stronger straight and curved aquaplaning resistance.
- Efficiency: Continental's rolling resistance is ~14-16% lower in many tests; better fuel use and abrasion.
- Refinement/price: Vredestein is generally quieter and cheaper, but with softer steering precision on dry.

Footnote
This page has been developed using tire industry testing best practices. This means we are only comparing tests which have had both tires in the same test.
Why is this important? Tire testing is heavily affected by things like surface grip levels and surface temperature, which means you can only compare values from the same day. During a tire test external condition changes are calculated into the overall results, but it is not possible to calculate this between tire tests performed on different days or at different locations.
As a result you will see other tests on Tire Reviews which feature both the Continental AllSeasonContact 2 and Vredestein Quatrac Pro Plus, but as they weren't conducted on the same day, the results are not comparable.
Lots of other websites do this sort of tire comparison, Tire Reviews doesn't.
