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 \u2014 most UHP all-season tyres prioritise dry and wet handling over winter conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Auto_Bild_Allrad_SUV_test_shortest_wet_braking\"><\/span>Auto Bild Allrad SUV test: shortest wet braking<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The Quatrac Pro 2 was also evaluated in Auto Bild Allrad&#8217;s SUV all-season tyre test, published in issue 40\/2026. It again earned an &#8220;Exemplary&#8221; rating and joint-second place. In the wet braking category \u2014 one of the most safety-critical measures in any tyre test \u2014 the Quatrac Pro 2 recorded the shortest braking distance among all tested tyres.

It received a &#8220;Very Good&#8221; rating alongside a &#8220;Price Performance&#8221; recommendation, a designation the magazine applies to tyres that deliver above-average performance relative to their price. Wet conditions were the Quatrac&#8217;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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_this_means_for_buyers\"><\/span>What this means for buyers<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The results point to two buyer profiles. The Quatrac Pro 2 suits drivers who want year-round capability at the performance end \u2014 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 &#8220;Price Performance&#8221; 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&#8217;s dealer network.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Vredestein&#8217;s all-season tyre lineup impressed across three German automotive media evaluations this autumn.
