Vredestein Quatrac 5 185/65 R14 86 T

Vredestein Quatrac 5 are my first all-season tyres. I’ve decided for this alternative with the hope that the current technological progress will provide me with a few years of safe use, and I will finally avoid queuing for the fitting statin twice a year. I drive a small Fiesta MK6, covering about 12k km a year - mainly urban driving. After a half a year of use (including winter) Ima positively surprised. Asymmetric winter and summer tread. In the "dry" conditions, there are no problems. It is quiet, it sticks well to the road, so far resistant to abrasion. The situation is similar in the case of wet conditions, where in the case of smooth, less aggressive driving, I did not feel any slips, no control. I feel very confident in the car. Last winter I was a little disappointed, because the nature was really kind. It is true that snow appeared several times, but in quantities "below average" and I cannot consider it as a testing ground for tyres. Nevertheless, I did not feel any difference to previous cold-weather (Dębica Frigo 2). The Vredestein Quatrac 5 has not let me down yet and I hope it will stay that way. I recommend with a clear conscience. Read more Collapse

Silence, silence and, above all, silence, that's what I expected from these tyres. And I was not disappointed! In addition, the tyre suppresses inequalities very well. Traction properties of the tyre also do not leave much to be desired. ABS and traction control have practically nothing to do. Driving at high speeds is exemplary, the ruts do not adversely affect the driving path. Finally, the cons: The soft sides of the tire become noticeable when negotiating bends at high speed (the car slightly floats). Another maybe a bit of a trivial minus, but still, it's the look of the tyre ... I did not just test them in the snow. Generally tires are worth recommending, especially for those who value the comfort of traveling. RECOMMEND Read more Collapse

Very good tyres for the money. Brilliant for the wet and windy conditions of the UK and good in the extreme winter too. Have done over 10.000 miles on them since January and still good for another 10 so great on the long performance and value for money. No more carrying 2 sets of tyres for winter and summer anymore for me. I live 400 metres up in the valleys of Wales and drive all over the southwest. Tyres get the extremes of all conditions. As good as the best winter tyres and 80 per cent as good as the best brand of summer tyres. Will slide very slightly in very hot dry dusty roads but then again what tyres don't. In the rain these are unbeatable which is 50 per cent of the U.K. a climate Read more Collapse

In recent years, I changed my summer and winter tyres. This time I decided to try a set of tyres 4 seasons. This is my garage who advised me the Vredestein tyres. In the first kilometres on wet + snow and ice, I felt safe. A little early for a final opinion but looks promising. I find the price is quite reasonable in comparison with two sets of tyres. Immediately observed a good attitude in curves and turns on cold ground and snow in the highway exits. As it is, I recommend and will certainly complete in the future if I had any additional comments on this Vredestein Quatrac 5 Read more Collapse

I hope to get another winter out of them if I'm careful in the next few months. They didn't see too much heavy snow last winter (skiing in France) so can't be too definitive on that. ~They did get worn over the summer (rather hot at times) and seemed to cope well, although wear was probably a little higher than if Id changed to summer tyres. Oversteer could be a problem for some, but possibly it also depends on the car. My advice would be to get two on the front and if not happy just switch them to the back. Read more Collapse
