Let's take a deep look into two remarkable tyres - the Vredestein Quatrac Pro and the Nexen N Blue 4 Season. Both tyres are classed as 'allround' and have proven their worth in various tests.
Starting with the Vredestein Quatrac Pro, made in Hungary, it has an overall rating of 62%. The tyre excels when it comes to exterior noise, comfort, wet braking, wet circle cornering, wet handling, and snow traction. According to the Autobild test, it secured the 3rd position out of 31 tyres, highlighting its strong performance. However, this model has now been replaced by a newer version, the Vredestein Quatrac Pro+, so it would be worth taking a look at the upgraded version for those interested in this tyre.
On the other hand, the Nexen N Blue 4 Season, manufactured in both China and Turkey, bags an overall rating of 45%. This tyre shines in terms of exterior noise, price-value ratio, comfort, and snow cornering. It stood at the 7th position in the Autobild test, which is commendable given it competed against 31 tyres in total. The Nexen N Blue 4 Season has been replaced by the Nexen N Blue 4 Season 2, which is expected to be more refined and improved version.
To summarise, while the Vredestein tyre boasts superior comfort, handling capabilities in wet conditions, and snow traction, it has been largely superseded by its upgraded version, the Quatrac Pro+. Despite a lower overall rating, the Nexen tyre's notable strength lies in its excellent noise reduction and great value for the price, particularly during snow cornering.
In conclusion, for those prioritising comfort and seeking impressive wet and snow-handling performance, the Vredestein Quatrac Pro makes a compelling choice. However, for the price-conscious buyers who still want a competent, low-noise tyre, the Nexen N Blue 4 Season offers a strong argument.
