Vredestein Quatrac all-season tyres are characterized by high adaptability to the road surface in any condition, low rolling level and excellent acoustic comfort. The model continues the tradition of the company Vredestein, which more than 20 years ago released its first prototype. tyres Quatrak has collected all the most modern, so the rubber has the best performance in any weather conditions.
The Dutch tyres have created a unique asymmetric tread pattern that combines the advantages of a summer and winter car tyre. The summer segment has a reduced void coefficient, which contributes to better handling and response accuracy in cornering, as well as high lateral adhesion on dry and wet roads. Winter segment of the car tyre with dense lamellation ensures confident car behavior on snowy and slippery road sections.
Engineers also managed to improve handling on dry roads by introducing an additional longitudinal groove, which is located in the outer section. Its walls are located at different angles, which increased the rigidity of the tread and, as a result, the driving characteristics.
Specialists of Fredenstein brand did not forget to take care of a high level of safety in winter, they developed and implemented special slotted grooves that increase the grip stability on the icy road.
All-season Vredenstein Quatrak tyres are:
- Optimal tyre design provides low rolling characteristics, which reduces fuel consumption by 5-10%.
- Correct pressure distribution increases the service life.
- The aggressive tread area provides a short braking path.
- Thanks to the introduction of new technologies, the tyre is as comfortable as possible in terms of acoustics.
- All-season tyres are well adapted to weather changes and temperature surges, so the tyres remain always efficient and effective, no matter what the weather is outside the window.
- During the creation of Vredestein Quatrac, the latest and most advanced technologies were applied. For example, silicone was added to the rubber compound, and a special combination of polymers was used, which improves the wear resistance, and as a result, the driving time is extended.
The updated alloy was created using a modern rubber mixing machine Quatract , which has a double structure, which means that the mixing of rubber and its silanization takes place simultaneously. It should be noted that some technologies were used for the first time when developing this tyre. Thus, in the central segment there are special 3D Grip Claws claws, which help to increase grip during cornering, which allows accelerating to the maximum speed even on snowy and slippery roads.

Testimonials
not killed in pits. not noisy. normally balanced.
Shortcomings:
not stable in the rut. not even wear and tear.
Comment:
not even in the pits:
The inner part is erased faster than the outer one. does not like a rut. in the frost 5-14 °F
a little tangles. in the mud. I think for such money can be found better.
Rubber shows itself perfectly on both summer and (especially) winter roads.
Shortcomings:
Practically no.
Comment:
In winter it does not differ in use from winter non-spiked rubber, perhaps even superior to other models due to the grip – the tread is initially very deep.
I drove away one winter, I am very satisfied, now I put it on the second car.
I read in one of the reviews about the uneven wear – it is not true, either the one who left the comment has never used the Quatrac 3, or he has a big trouble with the breakdown.
And about the previous Quatrac 2. It was good too, but the tread is undivided spruce-like. Quatrac 3 exceeds it in all parameters.
Summer is quite good, but the problem of all seasons is the peak of the summer season. The car becomes noticeably sluggish, the fuel consumption has risen a little bit.
I was satisfied with the rubber.
