Pirelli Cinturato Winter 2 vs Vredestein Quatrac — Compared

“Vredestein Quatrac Pro+s are excellent These tires are phenomenal. I have them on my 2019 Mazda3 and replaced my last set of Continental DWSs. Those were great tires, but I wanted something a bit better for the winter on this replacement, and I was hoping for something a bit quieter for road trips as well. I went with Vredestein Quatrac Pro+ and these are *noticeably* quieter than the DWSs, and they ride better as well. I'm a huge fan so far. Read more”

“My wife has been using Vredestein Quatracs for 4 years now. She has done 60,000 km so far (mostly commuting and school runs, but also several longer trips). The tyres still have plenty od tread. During this winter they will reach the winter indicators and they will definitely last through the next summer, so it will be more than 4.5 years and approximately 70,000 km. So far, they have been very good, quiet, very grippy in the wet and fine even in the occasional snow. The car is a small crossover - Opel Mokka, so pretty different to your 325i :) I can definitely recommend them!”

“You won't find a true performance type tyre at 185/70 as it's just not a profile which is normally associated with performance cars. But as has been said elsewhere it is still the best profile for a fast road set up on a 105. I'd also support vredestein too, I use quatracs which are hybrid tyre designed as a compromise between a snow and a winter, they work well all year round. Vred also do a more summer biased tyre now which wasn't available at 185/70 until fairly recently I expect they would be my choice now. Edit, just checked they are called spotrtrac5 Not sure about vred classics being used in classic rallying, most people I know use either snowtrac3 or quatracs tout of a vreds range, though the rules changed at the start of last year which allowed 65 profiles to be used which had opened up more choice.”
