Vredestein Quatrac 5 review

“I run the Quatrac 5 on my wife's Civic and her Grandmothers Fit (The Pro doesn't go small enough). The Civic runs dedicated snows too but the Vredesteins better than other All-seasons we have tried in snow. They mostly see the late fall/Early Spring type snow then the snows are not on. She is also very happy with their rain performance. For us its less about the "go" and more about the "whoa" because there are some pretty steep roads with stop signs at the bottom around here. Her Grandmother lives in Maine and asked me to find her a good all season a few years ago because after a lifetime of swapping tires twice a year she was ready to not do that. Plus she doesn't drive in active storms anymore. I found the Vredestiens in my research then and now am a convert. Tire Rack made it easy to order the tires and have them shipped to a shop by her house for install, so that was nice.”

“Bought those tires and drove them all last summer and into the fall, Not exactly spirited driving but I enjoy New England back roads and drive a lot of dirt roads as well, great traction show no sign of wear w/ about 5k miles on them. And they worked fine for our first couple of snow flakes on serious hills before I put my Nokians on. I highly recommend them.”

“I had a pair of Vredestein Quatrac 5s (touring tire, not high performance all season) on my 2016 Maxima to replace the factory Continental ProContact TX tires that were starting to hydroplane in the rain. Installed April 2018 the price with shipping was $627.40 for set plus install. Come August 2020 the tires were getting noisy even with normal tire pressures, estimate over 30k miles on the set. Replaced with Goodyear Eagle RS-A that were fine for the next 2 years up until I sold the car. Overall no major complaints outside of that. They are continually improving the compounds on these and tech improves. Good luck with your purchase! For my 23 TLX OEM these Michelin Primacy A/S 255/40R19 are a bit expensive at $325 a tire and traction is only rated a B. Hopefully I have 2+ years before I need to replace them again.”

“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.”

“So I have a 2010 Ford Focus I use as my daily driver, right now the vehicle has 17in wheels on it and the tires that I have with those wheels are just not going to work with the snow. I have a set of 15 inch wheels that came with the car. I thought about putting snow tires on them but I decided have no desire to replace the tires on the 17 inch wheels when they are worn out the wheels are giving me some issues out of round. So I realized the tires I put on these 15 inch wheels need to be something I can run on the car all year long. I then learned about all weather tires, not all season tires that can deal with the warm but also deal with the snow very well. I ended up going with Vredestein Quatrac 5 they are made in Holland the reviews I've read have been fantastic. I can also use these wheels and tires on the Fiesta ST if necessary.

“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!”
