The comparison of the Hankook Kinergy 4S2 H750 and the Vredestein Quatrac shows two well-rounded all-season tyres that target different priorities. Neither model has been officially replaced on our pages, so there is no direct successor link to include. For manufacturer information visit Hankook and Vredestein.
Summary of test outcomes: across major test houses the tyres swap places depending on the focus of the evaluation. In AUTOBILD comparatives Vredestein often finished marginally ahead (position 2 vs Hankook position 3 in a 32-tyre test), praised repeatedly for wet circle cornering, wet handling and aquaplaning reserves. ADAC shows a different picture: Hankook placed higher (3 vs Vredestein 6 in a 16-tyre ADAC test), reflecting Hankook’s consistent, balanced performance. Our internal scoring also ranks the Vredestein slightly higher (Vredestein 93% vs Hankook 88%), reflecting stronger results in wet tests and perceived overall balance.
Hankook Kinergy 4S2 H750 — strengths & weaknesses
- Strengths: Outstanding dry handling and short dry braking distances, very good snow performance in many tests, low rolling resistance and strong predicted mileage. Reviewers repeatedly praise its comfort and stable handling in mixed conditions.
- Weaknesses: Aquaplaning resistance is a recurring shortfall in some independent tests, and wet braking/handling can be slightly weaker than the Vredestein. A few reports note a slightly higher exterior noise relative to the quietest all-season tyres.
- Overall: A great choice for drivers who want strong dry and winter grip plus low rolling resistance and long mileage, but who can accept slightly reduced aquaplaning reserves.
Vredestein Quatrac — strengths & weaknesses
- Strengths: A wet-weather specialist — excellent wet handling, short wet circle lap times and top aquaplaning resistance. Tests also highlight a quiet, comfortable ride and precise, dynamic behaviour in wet conditions. It scores very well across mixed-weather laps.
- Weaknesses: Several test reports point to only average mileage and somewhat higher rolling resistance. Dry performance is good but not always class-leading compared with the Hankook’s best-in-class dry results.
- Overall: The Quatrac is preferable if you prioritise safety and control in wet conditions and a refined ride, and are willing to sacrifice a little in longevity and fuel economy.
Head-to-head verdict
Both tyres perform well in all-season roles, but they have different emphases. The Vredestein generally scores higher in wet-focused evaluations and is our higher-rated tyre overall (93% vs 88%), giving it the edge for drivers who face frequent heavy rain or places where aquaplaning risk is a concern. The Hankook is the better all-round performer for drivers who value dry handling, winter traction and lower rolling resistance combined with strong predicted mileage — factors that earned it higher places in some institutional tests like ADAC and multiple AUTOBILD editions.
Recommendation: choose the Vredestein Quatrac if wet performance, aquaplaning resistance and ride comfort are your top priorities; choose the Hankook Kinergy 4S2 H750 if you want superior dry handling, strong snow performance and lower rolling resistance with better long-term mileage.
