Best test result: #1 of 9 in 2018 AMS All Season Tyre Test (dry handling)
“A guy on YouTube vlogged his experience with the quatrac 5 in his mirage. It's a good all weather tire for the occasional blast of snow but is by no means a substitute for actual snow tires.”

Tire A
BFGoodrich Advantage T/A Sport
We haven't collected enough community discussion about this tire yet.
Tire B
Positive
Vredestein Quatrac 5
Community sentiment toward the Vredestein Quatrac 5 is largely positive, with owners highlighting strong value, quiet comfort, and capable year-round traction. While recognized as a solid 3PMSF-rated all-weather tire, several users note that it cannot match dedicated winter tires in heavy snow and that tread wear can be rapid due to soft rubber compounds.
forum.miata.net
“They "look" like a full blown winter tire (ala Blizzak or XIce). But of course the rubber plays into it. We have Vredestein Quatrac 5 on our Sienna AWD van. These were sold as a true 4 season tire and we have driven them in 4 seasons. I didn't want to change tires on that vehicle, although for a Miata is would be a must. While they handle fine for the van, I don't drive the van like the Miata.”

“8/16/17 put on a set of Vredestein Quatrac 5 tires on a 1995 Camry that my kids inherited from the Grand Father. it was the 1st car in a long time that did not get snow tires for winter. amazing how inexpensive a full set of 14" tires were! $179 + $120 to mount & balance. that was only $299! they stayed local with the car & never put many miles on it. 6 years later, 7/12/23 we traded it with those same tires on it. don't have a record of the mileage. they were a good choice for what we used them for. good to know they aren't high mileage tires. but if they aren't expensive, does it matter?”

“They're on my Hellcat now and it's an amazing tire. Surprisingly good traction in the dry. Hope you can get em as well!”

How do we compare tires?
Every category score blends two independent signals. 60% comes from professional tire tests (braking distances, lap times, noise measurements), each result compared with every other tire in the same test and newer tests counting more. 40% comes from owner reviews found online, adjusted for how generously each site rates. Both use one scale: the average tested tire gets 70, the best 100. When a tire has only one of the two, the missing half is estimated from the other and the score stays closer to average; with no road test and fewer than five owner reviews it gets no score yet.
Handling is the exception: road tests measure it inside the dry and wet scores, so its own row comes from owner ratings only and starts as less important.
