Comparison: Bridgestone Weather Control A005 EVO vs. Vredestein Quatrac vs. Michelin CrossClimate 2

1 mutual test(s) with detailed data

The Bridgestone Weather Control A005 EVO and the Vredestein Quatrac are two allround tyres that have been widely tested and are frequently compared. Both tyres are highly rated, with the Vredestein Quatrac taking the lead in the Autobild tests with a 90% total rating compared to the Bridgestone Weather Control A005 EVO's 71% rating.


The Vredestein Quatrac, manufactured in Hungary, is noted for its impressively balanced performance. It has been praised for its short wet and dry braking distances, agile handling, direct steering, and low rolling resistance. Some of its top-rated features include wet circle cornering, wet handling, dry braking, comfort, and wet braking. It earned the 2nd spot in the Autobild test out of 11 total tyres. Despite its good performance, however, it falls short in mileage.


The Bridgestone Weather Control A005 EVO is manufactured in Hungary and Italy. It has also received positive feedback for its performance, with features like wet braking, wet circle cornering, dry braking, and dry handling singled out as its best. According to Autobild's tests, it secured the 3rd position out of 11 total tyres. Its strengths lie in its performance on wet and dry tracks as well as decent winter qualities, dynamic wet and dry handling, short wet braking distances, and fuel-saving rolling resistance. However, it has reported slower handling response on snow and ice and only satisfactory performance in snowy conditions, along with average mileage.


Summarising the data from all the tests, it can be concluded that the Vredestein Quatrac has a slight edge over the Bridgestone Weather Control A005 EVO due to its more balanced all-round performance and superior handling and braking in different weather conditions. However, both tyres have their own strengths and provide good performance for an allround tyre.


It's important to note that neither of these tyres has been replaced by a newer model yet. For future updates on these tyres' performance, please keep checking our website.
