“2024 Prius XLE w/17in. wheel and tire downsize. I recently swapped out the 19in OEM wheels and tires for 225/55r17 Verdestien Quatrac Pro+ mounted on Borbet Type W wheels (anthracite). I don't have a ton of mileage on them, but so far, I'm pretty happy with the results. Read more”

Pros, cons & observations
Themes extracted from owner reviews found online — not the opinion of TireWheelGuide.
Tire A Assurance WeatherReady 2
Pros
- Exceptional wet weather grip and performance
- Strong traction and handling in snow and winter conditions
- Smooth and comfortable ride quality over rough pavement
Cons
- Noticeable reduction in fuel economy or EV range
- Potential for mild tread hum or road noise as mileage increases

Tire B Quatrac Pro+
Pros
- Strong wet-weather grip and confidence, including in heavy rain, standing water and emergency braking

- Low road noise and good ride comfort, with several reviewers noting they are as quiet as or quieter than previous tires (including Michelin and budget tires)
Cons
- Not a substitute for a dedicated winter tire; limited in deep fresh snow and criticized as hopeless in winter by one user who bought them by mistake
- Some wear and durability concerns, including faster wear when driven sportily, hardening over time, and isolated reports of premature damage
- Less steering feedback and a soft or squishy on-center feel for some drivers of sporty cars

We haven't collected enough community discussion about this tire yet.
Tire B
Positive
Vredestein Quatrac Pro+
Community sentiment toward the Vredestein Quatrac Pro+ is largely positive, with owners frequently praising its low road noise, smooth ride comfort, and exceptional wet-weather traction. Many consider it a high-value, competitively priced all-weather option compared to premium rivals like Michelin and Continental, though some note its snow capability and sporty handling lag slightly behind dedicated snow or ultra-high-performance tires. A few drivers raised minor concerns regarding shoulder tread chunking or slow air loss.

“I just put the Vrederstein Quatrac Pro+ on my 24 Mini Countryman S All4, replacing the Pirelli runflats that were good tires, but kinda loud and you could feel every imperfection in the road. I don't have a lot of miles on em yet, but they are definitely quieter and more comfortable. I've noticed that they do like to lose a little bit of air, don't know if it's the tires or the valve stems, or the installer didn't seal the bead on em good enough. Will monitor it and if it keeps up, I'll take em back and have em checked. So far I like them.”

“Just over 2k miles into using the Quatrac Pro+ in moderate to freezing temps and so far everything I noticed before stands, better ride and less noise. They definitely handle snow better, and that was to be expected from the winter rating on these tires , but also they seem to be getting better range. But because I haven't driven in hotter weather yet I'll have to report in in a couple months after Summer is over. So far I'm super impressed and happy with this upgrade. 100% recommending these tires as long as the Summer driving doesn't tank the range.”

“I got the Vredestein Quatrac Pro+ and am very happy with them. Had them also on the car before. Good dry and wet grip, snow grip is not the best. They are more on the summer tire side instead of winter tire side. They have an asymmetric pattern, so sawtooth formation is not happening. And they are quiet. That's what I wanted, good performance on dry and wet roads and acceptable performance on snow for the 3-4 days a year of snow on the road. My experience with other tires : Continental summer tires are too soft, first year they are great but year after year they become slippery on wet ground and wear and tear is too much when driving fast around corners. Goodyear all season tires are also on the comfortable side, good in winter, slow in summer. And they produce sawtooth after a while. Bridgestone get slippery on wet ground, but great on dry ground, tend to be loud. But all that depends on the car and how fast you drive ;-)”

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.
