Higher is better. The Relative Score follows your weights below; category scores do not change.
Wet grip starts at “Important”. Treadwear starts at “Neutral” here: road tests measured it for at most one of the two tires, so it rests on owner reviews. Move the sliders and the scores update instantly.
Only one of the two tires has a score here, so this weight changes nothing in the head-to-head.

Community sentiment toward the Vredestein Quatrac is overwhelmingly positive, with drivers viewing it as one of the best mid-range all-weather tires available. Users frequently praise its reliable traction in wet and snowy conditions, along with its quiet and comfortable ride compared to rivals. While some owners note that stopping distances on ice or deep snow do not match dedicated winter tires and tread wear can vary, most consider it an exceptional value over premium brands like Michelin.
“Vredestein Quatrac and Hankook Kinergy 4S2 are good tyres. I prefer the vredestein quite comfortable tyres and quieter than the Hankook. But you can't go wrong with either of them.”
“Vredestein Quatrac, General Altimax RT45, or Falken Sincera SN250's Hey all! Looking for 205/50/16 tires for my 2010 Honda Fit Sport in northern Ohio. I want to make sure I'm safe in the winter months, esp with Ohio's weird weather and snow/slush (I'm a newer driver). Don't have the storage or money for a dedicated winter set. Stuck between these three. RT45's appear to be the best all-rounder of the bunch (I wish Vredstein made the Quatrac Pro+ in a size I can use), but the Quatrac's have a slightly better snow rating. I drive relatively efficiently, don't go ham on the gas, and really just want a decent road feel while getting the best cost/performance ratio. The one thing biasing my decision right now is the $80 rebate I could get on the Quatracs, but I'd rather pay more for a better brand than suffer or be unsafe till I need to replace my tires again. Links to the tirerack pages I'm using to judge: Quatracs RT45s Sinceras Read more”
“I had been looking at summer tires due to the fact the Toyo are too. Was looking at these: They get decent reviews The rolling restistance and grip are good too. It is rated as having better grip in the wet than the Vredestein Quatrac: Would have thought the all weather would have better wet grip? Will make a decision tomorrow. I'm in on west of Ireland coast. It's wet rarely icy here, snow would be extreme -only once got proper snow in the last 15 years - the beast from east! Cheers”

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.
