Today we'll compare two tyres that are popular for allroad use - the Nexen N Blue 4 Season 2 manufactured by Nexen and the Vredestein Quatrac made by Vredestein.
The Nexen N Blue 4 Season 2, rated 62% by us, replaces the previous model and is primarily made in the Czech Republic. Based on the results of several tyre tests, this tyre has strengths in mileage and price/value factor. It got a good position in the AUTOBILD test - 16th out of 37 and 12th out of 16 in a separate test. However, it falls short considering its aquaplaning reserves and understeering in snowy and wet conditions.
On the other hand, Vredestein Quatrac, with a solid rating of 88% from us, is popular for its year-round performance and comes from Hungary. It performed remarkably better than the Nexen in tests - 5th out of 37 and 4th out of 16 in two separate tests conducted by AUTOBILD. It shines in exterior noise levels, wet handling, wet braking, and wet circle cornering, which makes it a top choice for conditions that Nexen N Blue 4 Season 2 struggles with. However, this model has an increased rolling resistance and average mileage.
In a nutshell, the Vredestein Quatrac is a better-rated, higher-performing tyre overall especially in wet conditions and exterior noise levels, while the Nexen N Blue 4 Season 2, seems to deliver excellent value for money with great mileage and lower price/performance ratio. Your final tire choice may come down to specific factors that are most critical for your driving needs and environments.
Given that results from tests by AUTOBILD in 2023 and 2024 rated Vredestein Quatrac higher in overall positions in mutual tests and highlighted some of the exceptional features this model has to offer, the scales tip slightly more in favour of this tyre over the Nexen N Blue 4 Season 2.
