Test summary & positions
Across the major comparisons (Auto Express, Auto Bild variants) the two tyres often finish close to each other. Bridgestone placed 1st to 3rd in several Autobild group tests (37 and 16 tyre fields) and ranked 3rd in Auto Express (6 tyres). Vredestein typically sits one or two places behind Bridgestone in the same lineups (commonly 4th–5th) but shines in wet and winter‑related measures. Overall ratings (Vredestein 92% vs Bridgestone 90%) reflect Vredestein’s balanced all‑weather competence and Bridgestone’s emphasis on dry performance and wear.

Strengths — Vredestein Quatrac

• Wet performance & aquaplaning: repeatedly highlighted as a wet specialist with very good aquaplaning resistance (longitudinal and cross) and short wet braking distances.


• Winter capability: strong snow traction and snow braking for an all‑season tyre, making it a more confident choice where winter conditions occur.


• Comfort & noise: exterior noise and overall rolling comfort are often praised, giving a quieter ride than many rivals.

Weaknesses — Vredestein Quatrac

• Treadwear / rolling resistance: tests note above‑average wear and slightly higher rolling resistance, so long‑term running costs can be higher than the Bridgestone.

Strengths — Bridgestone Turanza All Season 6

• Dry handling & braking: a clear summer specialist in many reports — very agile with short dry braking distances and confident handling.


• Wet competence: also strong on wet surfaces (wet cornering, wet braking, aquaplaning reserves), making it a versatile choice for mixed climates.


• Longevity: several reviews highlight convincing tread life and efficient wear characteristics.

Weaknesses — Bridgestone Turanza All Season 6

• Snow performance: somewhat weaker on snow compared with the Vredestein — not the top choice if regular winter capability is essential.


• Price: noted as a premium option, with a higher purchase price in some test commentary.

Which tyre to pick? If your priority is all‑round, year‑round security with the best wet and winter reserves, the Vredestein Quatrac narrowly leads in our aggregated score and is the better choice for drivers in rainy or snowy climates. If you prioritise dry handling, braking performance and long tread life — and you mostly drive in milder winters — the Bridgestone Turanza All Season 6 is the sharper, more durable option.
