Performance Analysis

Across 21 tests, the Vredestein Quatrac 5 delivers a balanced but mixed all-season performance with standout wet handling/braking capability and competitive dry handling, punctuated by several test wins (2015, 2019 SUV). It frequently places around mid-pack overall (average 5.5), with periodic top finishes when wet and dry grip dominate scoring.
Key weaknesses recur in aquaplaning resistance and snow performance consistency, plus elevated rolling resistance and occasional weak wet braking in mixed-field tests. Noise can also be higher. Results are more favorable in all-season comparisons; performance drops in mixed summer/all-season tests.
