Vredestein’s all-season tyre lineup impressed across three German automotive media evaluations this autumn. The Quatrac Pro 2 — a UHP all-season tyre rated to 300 km/h — earned “Exemplary” ratings and tied for second place in two separate Auto Bild tests, while the standard Quatrac claimed second place in Auto Motor und Sport’s all-season test with the best overall wet performance and the shortest wet braking distance.

Auto Bild compact car test: best snow performance
In Auto Bild’s all-season compact car test, the Quatrac Pro 2 secured joint-second place and an “Exemplary” rating. Its key strength was snow traction: it delivered the best overall snow performance of any tyre in the test. For a tyre focused on high-performance and EV applications, snow capability at this level is a meaningful differentiator — most UHP all-season tyres prioritise dry and wet handling over winter conditions.
Auto Bild Allrad SUV test: shortest wet braking
The Quatrac Pro 2 was also evaluated in Auto Bild Allrad’s SUV all-season tyre test, published in issue 40/2026. It again earned an “Exemplary” rating and joint-second place. In the wet braking category — one of the most safety-critical measures in any tyre test — the Quatrac Pro 2 recorded the shortest braking distance among all tested tyres. The Quatrac Pro 2 launched in early 2026 as Vredestein’s top-tier all-season model, featuring a compound optimised for EVs and a 300 km/h speed rating — positioning it against the Continental AllSeasonContact 2 and Goodyear Vector 4Seasons Gen-3 at the top end of the segment.

The standard Vredestein Quatrac — positioned below the Pro 2 in the lineup and at a more accessible price point — finished second in Auto Motor und Sport’s all-season tyre test. It received a “Very Good” rating alongside a “Price Performance” recommendation, a designation the magazine applies to tyres that deliver above-average performance relative to their price. Wet conditions were the Quatrac’s most notable performance area: the test credited it with both the best overall wet performance and the shortest wet braking distance of the entire test field.
What this means for buyers
The results point to two buyer profiles. The Quatrac Pro 2 suits drivers who want year-round capability at the performance end — EVs, executive saloons, and cars requiring a high speed rating. Its competitive snow performance, even against all-season rivals with a stronger winter focus, is a practical point of difference as European winters become less predictable. The standard Quatrac, with the “Price Performance” recognition from Auto Motor und Sport, makes a stronger case for mainstream family cars where budget matters. Both tyres are available across European markets through Vredestein’s dealer network.
