What the tests say (summary)

• Positions across major tests: Continental often finishes in the top three (Autoexpress 2/6, Autobild 2/16, AUTOBILD 3/37). Vredestein typically places slightly lower in individual tests (Autoexpress 4/6, Autobild 4/16, AUTOBILD 5/37) but achieves a higher overall score in our ratings.


• Repeated strengths for Vredestein: wet handling, aquaplaning resistance (longitudinal and cross), wet braking and generally excellent performance on wet surfaces. Test comments call it a “nässespezialist” with large safety reserves in the wet.


• Repeated strengths for Continental: balanced all‑round performance, strong snow traction, low rolling resistance, low exterior noise and good mileage. Test write‑ups highlight snow and dry stability, short wet braking distances and a composed ride.

Aggregate strengths & weaknesses

• Vredestein Quatrac — Strengths: Outstanding wet performance and aquaplaning resistance, confident wet braking and steering, pleasant noise and comfort. Tests repeatedly rate it as the safer choice in heavy rain and standing water.


• Vredestein — Weakness: Higher wear / above‑average tread loss reported in several test summaries. Expect somewhat shorter tread life compared with more wear‑resistant rivals.


• Continental AllSeasonContact 2 — Strengths: A true all‑rounder with excellent snow and winter behaviour, low rolling resistance and quiet operation. Strong mileage and consistent dynamic handling make it a reliable daily tyre for mixed conditions.


• Continental — Weakness: Slightly reduced aquaplaning reserves versus the Quatrac in some tests and occasional tendency to understeer at the limit. Tests also note a somewhat higher price level and only average wear in certain reports.

Which tyre is better overall? If you judge by our final scores, the Vredestein Quatrac holds a narrow overall edge (92% vs 88%) thanks to superior wet performance and aquaplaning safety. However, the margin is small — the Continental AllSeasonContact 2 often finishes higher in individual comparative tests and is the more balanced choice for drivers who want better mileage, lower rolling resistance and stronger snow performance.

Verdict (practical guidance)

• Choose the Vredestein Quatrac if your priority is maximum wet safety and confident behaviour in heavy rain or standing water; accept a trade‑off in tread life.


• Choose the Continental AllSeasonContact 2 if you want a quieter, more fuel‑efficient and longer‑lasting all‑season tyre with particularly strong winter performance and an overall balanced character.
