Kumho Solus 4S HA32 Plus vs Vredestein Quatrac

If your priority is confidence in changeable UK/EU weather-frequent rain, standing water, and mixed temperatures-the Vredestein Quatrac is the safer, more rounded choice. It repeatedly stops shorter in the wet (often by 4-9%), resists aquaplaning far better (up to ~27-34% advantage in curved aqua), and brings composed, precise handling. It also posted excellent tread life and economy in AutoBild 2024, reinforcing long-term value despite a generally higher purchase price.

The Kumho Solus 4S HA32 Plus suits drivers who face regular winter episodes and want a lower upfront price: it often edges snow/ice braking and traction, and can deliver good mileage/value in some test sizes. However, its weaker aquaplaning reserves and longer wet/dry stops make it a compromise in rainy seasons. In short: choose Quatrac for all-weather security and handling polish; pick HA32+ if snow/ice traction and initial cost matter most.

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.
