Firestone Multiseason 2 and Vredestein Quatrac are two popular year‑round options frequently compared in independent European tyre tests. Neither model has been officially replaced by a newer generation at the time of writing. In our database, the Quatrac holds a markedly higher overall score (92%) than the Multiseason 2 (56%), signaling a clear gap in test-backed performance.

Test results at a glance: Across multiple Auto Bild and ADAC comparatives, the Quatrac generally finishes ahead. In a large Auto Bild ranking of 32 tyres, Quatrac placed 2nd, while Multiseason 2 finished 6th. In another Auto Bild test of 37 tyres, Quatrac was 5th versus Multiseason 2 at 22nd. ADAC’s 16-tyre comparison saw Quatrac 6th and Multiseason 2 8th. This pattern supports the Quatrac’s reputation as the more rounded performer overall.

Wet and dry performance: The Vredestein Quatrac consistently excels in the wet, repeatedly highlighted for wet handling, wet circle cornering, and wet braking proficiency. Recent summaries praise its very good wet handling, along with good dry braking and handling. The Firestone Multiseason 2 can be quick around a wet handling lap, yet test notes frequently flag limited aquaplaning reserves, especially in curves, and—more recently—extended dry braking. If your priority is confident wet‑road control with secure braking margins, Quatrac has the edge.

Snow and winter ability: Firestone often scores well on snow, with excellent grip and short braking/strong traction in several test rounds. Quatrac is described as having good winter qualities and “good performance in the snow,” though some results rate its snow and wet braking as average rather than class‑leading. In short, Multiseason 2 slightly favors snow grip, while Quatrac balances winter ability with superior wet-road control.

Efficiency, comfort, and wear: The Multiseason 2 repeatedly posts low rolling resistance and high mileage, and is praised for price/value. Caveats include slightly below-average comfort in one recent test. The Quatrac is noted for low exterior noise, precise steering, and agile handling, but tends to have higher rolling resistance and average mileage versus the best. If fuel efficiency and longevity are top priorities, Firestone is attractive; for comfort/noise with sharper dynamics, Vredestein leads.

Firestone Multiseason 2 – strengths: excellent snow grip and traction; very good wet handling lap; low rolling resistance; high mileage; strong price/value.

Firestone Multiseason 2 – weaknesses: extended dry braking in recent tests; only moderate aquaplaning safety; comfort slightly below average.

Vredestein Quatrac – strengths: outstanding wet handling/cornering/braking; good dry braking and handling; good winter ability; very good aquaplaning reserves; low exterior noise; direct steering.

Vredestein Quatrac – weaknesses: average snow and wet braking in some rounds; higher rolling resistance; average mileage.

Overall verdict: For drivers seeking the strongest test-proven all-rounder, the Vredestein Quatrac is the safer choice, consistently finishing higher in comparative tests and offering superior wet‑road security with composed dry manners. The Firestone Multiseason 2 remains a smart, value‑driven alternative—especially where snow traction, low rolling resistance, and longevity matter most—but its dry braking and aquaplaning limitations keep it behind the Quatrac in overall rankings.

Manufacturers: Firestone (Multiseason 2, made in IT); Vredestein (Quatrac, made in HU).
