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 5 tests, 2024 to 2025
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.

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

Pirelli Cinturato All Season SF3
- 84%from 73 reviews
- 80%would buy again
- 578,592 milesdriven by reviewers
Most owners rate the Pirelli Cinturato All Season SF3 highly, with the bulk of feedback praising its dependable wet and dry grip (mentioned by over half of reviewers) and an easy, confidence-inspiring feel for year-round use. Around a third of owners also highlight strong snow traction for an all-season tire, alongside generally low road noise and good ride comfort. A small minority report vibration/balancing issues, while roughly one in six mention steering feel is a bit soft or less direct than sportier or summer-focused alternatives; aquaplaning feedback is more mixed.
- Strong wet grip and reassuring confidence in the rain
- High dry grip for an all-season tire
- Impressive snow traction for winter days
- Generally low road noise, especially at cruising speeds
- Vibration or balancing/run-out problems reported by some owners
- Steering feel can be a bit soft or less direct than alternatives
- Aquaplaning resistance gets mixed reports in standing water

All 73 Cinturato All Season SF3 reviewsGreat tires! In autumn and winter conditions, I found them better than the Continental TS860 in mud and snow, but worse on ice.
In summer, compared with the Continental PremiumContact 6, they offered better aquaplaning resistance, but slightly worse wet grip and overall handling. Lateral stability was by far their weakest point compared with my old Conti.
These were my first all-season tires, a bit of a gamble for me, but overall, I would recommend them. After 40,000 km over two years, they are showing some wear, so I plan to replace them by 50,000 km to stay on the safe side. My original plan was to use them for 40,000–60,000 km and less than four years.
Vredestein Quatrac Pro+
- 81%from 15 reviews
- 79%would buy again
- 98,850 milesdriven by reviewers
Owners are broadly pleased with the Vredestein Quatrac Pro Plus, with 12 of 14 reviews scoring it positively and an average owner rating of 80.9%. The most consistent strengths are strong wet grip and reassuring all-round traction, with many also highlighting confident dry grip and capable performance in snow. A meaningful minority (around one in five) report a softer, less precise steering feel and a tire that needs a longer bedding-in period, and a similar share raise concerns over tread life or durability.
- Excellent wet grip, even in cold and wet conditions
- Strong dry grip with confidence for spirited driving
- Surprisingly capable snow traction
- Predictable dry handling
- Softer, less precise steering feel/feedback
- Noticeable bedding-in period before it feels at its best
- Reduced margin at the limit or a slight delay finding grip under load

All 15 Quatrac Pro+ reviews"I purchased these all-season premium tires for my 4WD Subaru Outback, and I am extremely satisfied with them. As soon as they were installed, the car felt remarkably smooth and pleasant to drive.
The tires are wearing perfectly evenly, and I’ve already rotated them once. I used to be hesitant about all-season tires, but this brand completely convinced me that I made the right choice. While tire selection always depends on the specific car, driving style, and usage, these have worked out incredibly well for my Outback. Highly recommended!

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.
Two of the most talked-about all-season touring tires right now-Pirelli's Cinturato All Season SF3 and Vredestein's Quatrac Pro Plus-target year-round usability with different philosophies. Across five shared professional tests spanning passenger cars, SUVs and camper-van fitments, the Pirelli consistently chases a premium, do-it-all balance, while the Vredestein leans toward value with an emphasis on wet grip and low noise.
The headline: Pirelli wins all five tests, repeatedly topping dry and wet braking, aquaplaning resistance, snow traction/handling, comfort and efficiency, often by meaningful margins (e.g., up to ~12% shorter dry stops and ~10-22% better aquaplaning resistance). Vredestein counters with strong subjective quietness, competitive wet handling pace in some tests, and a lower price orientation-but it trails in precision and stopping power, especially on dry roads and in deeper water or snow.
Conclusion
If you want the most complete all-season performer, the Cinturato All Season SF3 is the clear choice. It brakes shorter on dry and wet roads in nearly every test, resists aquaplaning markedly better, and is repeatedly quicker and more composed on snow. It also scores well for comfort, rolling resistance and wear, underpinning its five-for-five test-win sweep.
The Quatrac Pro Plus remains a sensible, lower-cost option for mild climates and day-to-day commuting: it's quiet, reasonably comfortable, and can feel confident in the wet at steady speeds. However, its longer dry braking, merely adequate precision, and weaker aquaplaning and winter margins limit its appeal for enthusiastic drivers or those facing varied weather. Bottom line: choose Pirelli for broad-spectrum safety and capability; choose Vredestein if you prioritize price and quietness in mostly mild, rainy use.

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.
