Comparison: Fulda MultiControl vs. Vredestein Quatrac vs. GoodYear Vector 4Seasons Gen-3

Head-to-head summary: The Vredestein Quatrac clearly outperforms the Fulda MultiControl across the published test results. In our database the Quatrac scores 94% vs. the Fulda’s 3%. In Autobild group tests the differences are reflected in placements: the Quatrac finished 2nd of 32 (and 5th of 37 in another round), while the Fulda placed near the rear of the field (26/32 and 27/37).

What the tests say about Vredestein Quatrac

• Strengths: Repeatedly praised as a "wet specialist" with excellent wet handling, short wet braking distances, strong aquaplaning resistance (both longitudinal and lateral), and low exterior noise. Autobild summaries from 2022–2025 consistently highlight its balanced, high-level performance in wet and mixed conditions, agile handling and direct steering.


• Weaknesses: The most cited trade-offs are moderate to slightly above-average rolling resistance in some years and average treadwear — tests note somewhat quicker wear than the very best long‑life models.


• Practical takeaway: the Quatrac is an excellent all‑season/allround choice when wet performance, grip and driver confidence are priorities. Find the tyre page here: Vredestein Quatrac. Manufacturer info: Vredestein.

What the tests say about Fulda MultiControl

• Strengths: Very limited positive coverage in the available tests. The Fulda MultiControl did not place well in the Autobild comparisons and shows a very low overall rating in our system.


• Weaknesses: Consistently low test positions (bottom third in multiple comparisons) indicate shortfalls in the core disciplines assessed by safety-oriented tests: wet braking, aquaplaning, handling and comfort/noise. The aggregated score (3%) points to widespread underperformance versus peer all‑season tyres.


• Practical takeaway: given current test results, the Fulda MultiControl is not recommended if you expect competitive wet-weather grip or balanced all‑season performance. See the tyre page here: Fulda MultiControl. Manufacturer info: Fulda.

Mutual test positions and overall comparison
Across the same test series the Quatrac consistently ranked among the top performers, while the MultiControl finished near the back. This gap is not marginal — it reflects fundamental differences in wet handling, aquaplaning resistance and braking performance, where Vredestein repeatedly scored as a best-in-class performer. Noise and ride comfort also favor the Quatrac in several reports.

Verdict
Winner: Vredestein Quatrac. If you want a safe, high-performing all‑season tyre with excellent wet-weather reserves and good NVH (noise/vibration/harshness) characteristics, the Quatrac is the clear choice. Expect somewhat average wear and occasional higher rolling resistance as trade-offs.
Runner-up: Fulda MultiControl. Given current test evidence, it lacks competitive braking and wet-handling performance and ranks low in comparative tests; it is not recommended for drivers who prioritize active safety in wet conditions.

Note: neither model in our dataset has an indicated successor or replacement entry. If a newer Fulda or Vredestein model appears, we will link and update the comparison accordingly.
