In this comparison, we will analyze the performance of two allround tyres: the Bridgestone Weather Control A005 EVO and the Vredestein Quatrac Pro. Both tyres have been tested and reviewed by various sources, and we will summarize their strengths and weaknesses based on the available data.
Starting with the Bridgestone Weather Control A005 EVO - this tyre offers excellent grip in wet and dry conditions, and boasts of good aquaplaning resistance and short dry braking distances. In the Tyre Reviews comparison, the A005 EVO's best feature was its rolling resistance. However, it significantly falls short in its snow performance, with the longest braking, lowest traction, and most difficult snow handling lap. It also has the highest internal noise among the tested tyres. Overall, this Bridgestone tyre scored well in dry and wet conditions, but proved to be weak in snow.
On the other hand, the Vredestein Quatrac Pro performs exceptionally well in wet conditions. It has the shortest wet braking and fastest wet handling lap, as well as low internal noise. Nevertheless, it has some downsides, including low grip in snow and dry conditions and low aquaplaning resistance. Additionally, the Quatrac Pro has the highest rolling resistance in the test. Based on these results, the Vredestein tyre stands out for its wet performance but lacks in snow and dry conditions.

In the ARBÖ test, the Quatrac Pro ranked 5th out of 9, while the A005 EVO secured the 6th position.

The Gute-Fahrt test, however, saw the A005 EVO securing the 3rd position in a pool of 7, while the Quatrac Pro only managed to rank 5th.
To sum up, the Bridgestone Weather Control A005 EVO shines in wet and dry conditions but has very limited snow performance.
