All-season tire All Season Ultra High Performance tires Updated September 2026

Vredestein Quatrac Pro review

Name: Vredestein Quatrac Pro
Brand: Vredestein

The Vredestein Quatrac Pro is widely regarded as a high-performance all-season tire that excels in ride comfort, noise suppression, and wet-weather handling. While most users praise its ability to bridge the gap between summer-like dry performance and winter safety, opinions on its longevity and deep-snow traction are polarized.

From owners

What owners like and dislike

Themes extracted from 44 owner reviews across retailers and review sites.

Pros

Exceptional ride comfort and low road noise
Strong wet-weather grip and hydroplaning resistance
Predictable and confidence-inspiring dry handling
Good performance in mild to moderate winter conditions

Cons

Inconsistent tread life and durability reports
Potential for flat-spotting or vibrations after sitting
Limited traction in deep snow or on steep inclines
Occasional reports of significant drop in fuel economy

Worth knowing

Users with heavy SUVs and AWD vehicles report high satisfaction with wet/slush performance, though some note that deep snow traction is inferior to dedicated winter tires.
Drivers of performance-oriented vehicles (e.g., Fiesta ST, Porsche Cayenne) appreciate the steering feedback and dry handling, though some note a slight 'softness' in the shoulder during aggressive cornering.

Community feedback on the Vredestein Quatrac Pro+ is generally favorable, with many drivers praising their comfort, low road noise, smooth ride quality, and competitive pricing relative to premium alternatives. While some users note they are slightly less sporty or grippy compared to ultra-high-performance all-season tires like the Continental DWS06+, they are widely regarded as a great comfortable commuter option with solid all-weather and winter capabilities.

“2024 Prius XLE w/17in. wheel and tire downsize. I recently swapped out the 19in OEM wheels and tires for 225/55r17 Verdestien Quatrac Pro+ mounted on Borbet Type W wheels (anthracite). I don't have a ton of mileage on them, but so far, I'm pretty happy with the results. Read more”

“Vredestein Quatrac Pro+s are excellent These tires are phenomenal. I have them on my 2019 Mazda3 and replaced my last set of Continental DWSs. Those were great tires, but I wanted something a bit better for the winter on this replacement, and I was hoping for something a bit quieter for road trips as well. I went with Vredestein Quatrac Pro+ and these are *noticeably* quieter than the DWSs, and they ride better as well. I'm a huge fan so far.”

“Vredestein Quatrac Pro+ shoulders ‘chunking up’ already Earlier this year (around February) I got a brand new full set of Quatrac Pro+ tyres for my BMW 325i. Since then the car has done around 3,500 miles. I’ve just had all the wheels off whilst doing some work on the car and the front tyres are chunking up on both shoulders, the rears are fine. (Pictures of front right attached, but they both look like this). It’s a RWD car, the pressures are as per factory, the car isn’t driven hard at all, the tracking is fine, I’m in the UK (so no extreme temperatures). Surely this can’t be right?”

“I just put the Vrederstein Quatrac Pro+ on my 24 Mini Countryman S All4, replacing the Pirelli runflats that were good tires, but kinda loud and you could feel every imperfection in the road. I don't have a lot of miles on em yet, but they are definitely quieter and more comfortable. I've noticed that they do like to lose a little bit of air, don't know if it's the tires or the valve stems, or the installer didn't seal the bead on em good enough. Will monitor it and if it keeps up, I'll take em back and have em checked. So far I like them.”

“I have the Quatrac Pro+ 225/40r18 on a Golf Sportwagen. They are very good for commuting. Extremely comfortable and responsive after the break in period. I would say they have good grip but not as sporty as the DWS.”

“I had Goodyear summer run flats that were extremely rough to ride on. Felt every bump and imperfection in the road. I switched to Vredestein Quatrac Pro+ and it rides very smooth. They're also good for the winter. Would highly recommend”
