Today, we are comparing two popular tyre models: the Vredestein Quatrac and the Firestone Multiseason 2, from the renowned manufacturers Vredestein and Firestone respectively.
The Vredestein Quatrac is a versatile all-round tyre with a total score of 88% on our rating. This all-rounder showcases exceptional merits in tests, including a commendable 5th position in the AUTOBILD test out of 37 tyres, 6th in the ADAC test out of 16 tyres, and a magnificent 2nd place in the Autobild. Particularly, this tyre receives accolades for its exterior noise and wet handling, with additional commendations for its wet braking and cornering. Despite the praises, this tyre has some drawbacks• particularly in terms of average wet and snow braking, and a higher than average rolling resistance.
On the other hand, we have the Firestone Multiseason 2, a winter tyre with an overall rating of 60% based on our evaluations. While tests have shown strengths in areas such as wet handling and snow grip, the Firestone Multiseason 2 has areas to be improved like extended dry braking and slightly below-average comfort. Its test standings range from a quite respectable 8th out of 16 in the ADAC test, a less impressive 22nd out of 37 in the AUTOBILD test, to 6th out of 32 in the Autobild test. The product additionally benefits from low rolling resistance and excellent price-to-value balance. However, this tyre showcases some limiting performances in aquaplaning conditions and understeering on snowy and dry handling, thus affecting its position in mutual tests.
In conclusion, both tyres have their own individual strengths and weaknesses. The Vredestein Quatrac outshines in terms of test positions being generally better in tests overall but struggles in some areas like wet and snow braking. On the contrary, Firestone Multiseason 2, although not performing as well in ranking, provides excellent grip in all snow tests and boasts a lower rolling resistance. Therefore, depending on user's specific needs such as the emphasis on winter performances or all-around versatility, one might choose the tyres accordingly.
