2025 Motor All Season Tire Test P4 of 7

The Vredestein Quatrac Pro+ represents a reasonably well-balanced option within the mid-segment category. Its performance on both dry and wet asphalt is slightly weaker than premium-class competitors, but remains consistent across these surfaces. The tire's main weaknesses are its average snow performance parameters and a relatively high rolling resistance coefficient, which may impact fuel consumption. Manufactured in Hungary, the Quatrac Pro+ offers decent value as a mid-priced option, though drivers seeking the highest performance levels may want to consider the premium alternatives.

Performance Analysis

Drawn from 12 tests. Updated November 26, 2025.

Across 12 tests, the Vredestein Quatrac Pro Plus delivers consistently strong wet handling performance with frequent top-three finishes, translating to competitive overall results (average position 5.8) and one Recommended award. It also scores well for cabin refinement, often near the top for noise. However, it shows persistent weaknesses in dry braking/handling and winter grip (especially snow and ice), and it regularly underperforms in aquaplaning resistance and rolling resistance.

Overall, the tire suits drivers prioritizing wet-road confidence and comfort over ultimate dry stopping distances, winter performance, and efficiency. Test outcomes vary by size and vehicle type, but the cross-test pattern is clear: wet handling strength counterbalanced by dry, snow/ice, and aquaplaning deficits.

Auto Bild Sportscars 225/45 R18

The Vredestein Quatrac Pro + is a wet specialist with good traction and short braking distances on snow. However, the tire suffers from limited handling qualities on both snowy and dry surfaces, which affects driving enjoyment and precision. The rolling comfort is acceptable but not exceptional, and it shows surprisingly weak performance in the dry handling tests despite being positioned as a performance-oriented option. For drivers who rarely encounter challenging winter conditions and prioritize wet performance, it offers decent value, but enthusiastic drivers will find the handling compromises frustrating.

2025 Mid Range All Season Tire Test

Wybór Kierowców 215/55 R17

The Vredestein Quatrac Pro+ finishes in fifth place, losing out to its immediate rivals primarily due to poor fuel efficiency scores and weaker snow performance. The Dutch tire is not as well-balanced as competitors, showing very good performance on wet asphalt with short braking distances and high lateral grip, while also performing reasonably well on dry surfaces. However, it significantly loses points in winter conditions, where it demonstrates the weakest snow performance in the test. The tire also suffers from the highest rolling resistance coefficient in the group, negatively impacting fuel economy. Despite these shortcomings, the Quatrac Pro+ maintains strong wet weather capabilities, making it suitable for drivers prioritizing wet performance over winter competence.

The Vredestein Quatrac Pro+ is an excellent all-weather option that provides a pleasant and quiet daily drive with natural, lively steering. It feels agile and authoritative on the wet track, with performance on par with the test's best. In winter, it is absolutely in its element, delivering confident and controlled performance in the snow with forgiving handling. Its only notable quirk was a sensitivity to speed during dry emergency lane change maneuvers, which it struggled with just over the target speed.

2025 ADAC All Season Tire Test

ADAC 225/45 R17

The Vredestein Quatrac Pro+ receives a mere "adequate" rating for driving safety due to its poor performance on dry roads, which also downgrades its overall score. On dry surfaces, it offers only adequate steering feedback and lacks precision, with delayed responses that require driver corrections to maintain a consistent line through curves. The tire also tends to oversteer early during dynamic maneuvers, and its braking is rated as only satisfactory. On wet roads, it misses a good rating; while braking is still good, its aquaplaning resistance and handling are only satisfactory due to understeer/oversteer tendencies. Winter performance is also just satisfactory, with average results in traction and braking on snow and ice. While it narrowly misses a good score in snow handling, it lacks overall precision. Environmentally, the tire achieves a satisfactory result, with good scores for projected mileage and wear, but its high weight leads to only a satisfactory efficiency rating, despite good fuel consumption.

Vredestein Quatrac Pro+ receives a "satisfactory" rating as the most affordable brand-name tire in the test. It delivers balanced performance on wet and dry surfaces, making it a reasonable budget option among established brands. However, the tire shows minor weaknesses in curve aquaplaning and provides only moderate performance levels on snow-covered surfaces.

The Best All Season Tires for 2024 / 2025

Tire Reviews 235/35 R19 Tested by Tire Reviews Recommended

The Vredestein Quatrac Pro Plus excelled in the wet and was pretty good in the dry. Its snow performance wasn't the best, but it was still a lot better than the summer tire which is what we want from an all season tire, especially if you're in a mild climate. I'd like to see a bit more dry braking but otherwise a good tire from the dutch company. Remember, this is a mid range tire in a test dominated by the biggest manufacturers in the world.
