Comparing the Vredestein Quatrac and the Kumho HA32 Solus 4S tyres, we find that both models offer diverse benefits in different conditions. This analysis considers the details of both tyres, their individual strengths and weaknesses, and their overall performance in tests.
The Vredestein Quatrac tyre is produced in Hungary and has an impressive rating of 94%. In Autobild testing, it achieved an excellent second position out of 32 tyres. As the data indicates, this tyre excels in wet conditions, including wet braking, wet circle cornering, comfort, and dry braking. Remarked for dynamism, good winter qualities, and excellent aquaplaning reserves, the tyre, however, demonstrated only an average lifespan according to autobild's 2023 text summary. Despite this, the Vredestein Quatrac performs well in all weather conditions, and compliments for its agile performance and direct steering are noteworthy. Its only downside is moderate tread life according to the 2022 Autobild test.
On the other hand, the Kumho HA32 Solus 4S, made in China, holds a slightly lower score of 73%. It ranks tenth in Autobild's tests, but it is nonetheless a commendable tyre. It is renowned for its low exterior noise, aptitude in snow braking, and longitudinal aquaplaning. The 2023 Autobild Test Summary notes the tyre has good snow traction, secure wet and dry handling, low rolling noise, and is competitively priced. However, it has moderate aquaplaning reserves, somewhat prolonged wet/dry braking distances, and increased rolling resistance.
While both models are all-rounders, the Vredestein Quatrac has a slight edge in terms of ratings and wet weather performance. However, the Kumho HA32 Solus 4S has merits in snow and has a significantly lower exterior noise, making it a worthwhile option if these factors are important to you. In conclusion, these tyres each have their strengths, and the final choice ultimately depends on personal preference and specific requirements.
