Nokian Seasonproof 2 vs Vredestein Quatrac Pro Plus
Across two independent 2025 tests, the Seasonproof 2 swept the categories that matter most-wet safety, snow confidence, and dry consistency-taking overall victory in both. The Quatrac Pro Plus remains a competent, mid-priced option with credible wet grip, but it trails the Nokian in nearly every measured discipline and is hampered by higher rolling resistance.
Test Results
Independent comparison tire tests are the best source of data to get tire information from, and the good news is there have been two tests which compare both tires directly!

While it might look like the Nokian Seasonproof 2 is better than the Vredestein Quatrac Pro Plus purely based on the higher number of test wins, tires are very complicated objects which means where one tire is better than the other can be more important in real world use.
Let's look at how the two tires compare across multiple tire test categories.
Key Strengths
- Class-leading wet safety: up to 7% shorter wet braking and best wet handling
- Snow assurance: wins snow braking and handling with ~5% advantage
- High aquaplaning resistance: +16.7% straight-line speed
- Refinement: quietest on test and competitive rolling resistance
- Strong wet-road grip for the price segment
- Consistent, predictable dry behavior
- Mid-priced value proposition
- Wide market availability and OE-friendly touring focus

Real World Driver Reviews
Nokian Seasonproof 2 Driver Reviews
Drivers report the Nokian Seasonproof 2 is a very confidence-inspiring all-season tire, with standout wet-road grip/aquaplaning resistance and strong braking, plus surprisingly capable performance on snow and even ice for many users. Comfort and road noise are frequently praised, with several noting a quieter, smoother ride than previous tires. A smaller minority mention a less-direct or "floaty/squirmy" steering feel at higher speeds (notably on certain cars), which was severe for one low-scoring review.

Vredestein Quatrac Pro Plus Driver Reviews
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.

Although I didn't get to drive them in winter temps yet, they seem to stick to the road very well for summer driving. They felt planted at speeds up to 120 mph (didn't take them further than that so can't tell), but a little slippery in corner acceleration on twisty roads, particularly on hot tarmac.

Conclusion
Vredestein's Quatrac Pro Plus offers solid wet-road capability and acceptable dry manners at a likely lower price point, but it gives up ground in snow and efficiency. For drivers who rarely see winter and are cost-conscious, it remains viable. For anyone prioritizing safety across variable conditions, the Nokian is the clear, confidence-inspiring choice.

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 %s and %s, 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.
