Best test result: #1 of 10 in 2026 Tire Rack All-Weather vs Winter Tyre Test (wet circle)
“Swapping shoes Well I cooked my summer tires (Michelin PS4's) a little earlier than planned. They were down to the belts... Instead of buying new tires for only a month or two, Im putting my snow tires on early. Probably gonna get roasted for doing so but oh well. Snow tires are Vredestein Quatrac Pro's. They were absolutely amazing in the snow last year. I had to turn traction control to sport just to get them to break loose and have any fun. They are also very good in the rain, tho they feel kinda "loose" on dry pavement when pushing them hard.”

“I was (and still am) considering CC2s to replace my stock Toyo's. I live in the SE. Not much snow, avg rain, and summer is coming around. I want better ride quality and reduced road noise. Are these still good, or should I look at other tires?”

Pros, cons & observations
Themes extracted from owner reviews found online — not the opinion of TireWheelGuide.
Tire A Quatrac
Pros
Exceptional wet-weather traction and hydroplaning resistance
Reliable year-round performance, including impressive grip in light to moderate snow and slush
Quiet and comfortable ride quality on most road surfaces
Cons
Increased road noise or humming that can develop or worsen as the tires age
Faster-than-expected treadwear for some users, leading to shorter overall lifespan
Softer sidewalls that can feel slightly mushy during aggressive cornering or contribute to a wandering sensation at high speeds
From Reddit, forums and review threads. Not part of our score
Tire A
Vredestein Quatrac
Positive
Community opinion on the Vredestein Quatrac (including Pro and Pro+ models) is largely positive, with drivers frequently praising them as a comfortable, quieter, and more budget-friendly alternative to premium tires like the Michelin CrossClimate 2. Users highlight excellent wet and dry traction along with a smooth ride, though opinions are mixed regarding their long-term treadwear and performance in deep snow.

Tire B
Michelin CrossClimate 2 SUV
Positive
Community opinion on the Michelin CrossClimate 2 (and SUV variant) is overwhelmingly positive, with drivers praising its exceptional winter traction, severe snow service rating (3PMSF), and confidence-inspiring wet and dry grip. While a few users note minor drawbacks like a noticeable decrease in EV range/fuel efficiency, higher initial pricing, or slight road noise, the tire remains a top-tier recommendation for all-weather performance.

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.
Community buzz from Reddit and forums is shown for context only — it never changes the score.
