Comparison: Michelin CrossClimate 2 vs. Vredestein Quatrac Pro vs. GoodYear Vector 4Seasons Gen-3 vs. Hankook Kinergy 4S2 H750 vs. Falken EuroALL Season AS210 vs. Dunlop Sport All Season vs. Nokian Seasonproof

This head-to-head review condenses independent test data to compare the Michelin CrossClimate 2 and the Vredestein Quatrac Pro across wet, dry and snow performance, rolling resistance and comfort. Use this all-season tyre comparison to quickly see which tyre won in the tests and where each model shows strengths or weaknesses.

At a glance: the Michelin CrossClimate 2 is the clear overall performer in multiple published tests, while the Vredestein Quatrac Pro scores strongly on wet grip but lags in snow, aquaplaning resistance and rolling resistance.

Michelin CrossClimate 2 (manufacturer: Michelin) recorded a high consolidated score across tests and earned top positions — e.g. 2nd in AutoBild (10 tyres) and 1st in ARBÖ (9 tyres). Test reports repeatedly praise its class-leading snow and ice performance, short dry braking distances, stable wet and dry handling, low rolling resistance and quiet ride.

Vredestein Quatrac Pro (manufacturer: Vredestein) shows the opposite profile: it often ranks mid-pack (6th in AutoBild, 5th in ARBÖ) but stands out for very strong wet braking and wet handling. Tests note its comfort and low internal noise and an attractive price point. However, the Quatrac Pro has notable drawbacks: weak snow and dry grip in several tests, limited aquaplaning resistance and high rolling resistance. The Quatrac Pro has since been succeeded by the Vredestein Quatrac Pro+.

Test summary — consolidated findings

Across AutoBild, TyreReviews and other independent comparatives:

• Snow & ice: Michelin dominates. Multiple testers label the CrossClimate 2 “rivaling winter tyres” with best snow traction and braking.


• Dry performance: Michelin again leads — shortest dry braking and secure dry handling were highlighted. Vredestein is weaker on dry grip.


• Wet performance: Vredestein’s strongest area — shortest wet braking and fastest wet handling on some tests. Michelin performs well in wet stability and aquaplaning resistance but is reported to show limited wet grip in some evaluations.


• Comfort & noise: Both tyres score well for comfort; Vredestein is noted for low internal noise while Michelin offers an overall quiet, comfortable ride.


• Efficiency: Michelin benefits from low rolling resistance and fuel-saving properties; Vredestein records the highest rolling resistance in test comparisons.

Strengths & weaknesses

Michelin CrossClimate 2
Strengths: outstanding snow and ice performance, short dry braking, high aquaplaning resistance, low rolling resistance, quiet ride. Weaknesses: some tests note limited wet grip and mild understeer in wet handling.

Vredestein Quatrac Pro
Strengths: excellent wet braking and handling, comfortable and quiet, good value. Weaknesses: poor snow and dry grip compared with Michelin, lower aquaplaning resistance and higher rolling resistance; overall test positions are mid-pack.

Verdict

Overall, the Michelin CrossClimate 2 is the better all-round choice for drivers who need reliable winter capability plus strong dry and efficient performance — it consistently outperforms the Quatrac Pro in overall test rankings and real-world braking/traction metrics. The Vredestein Quatrac Pro is a good option if your priority is wet-weather grip and a comfortable, quiet ride at a lower price, but be aware of its compromises in snow, aquaplaning and fuel efficiency. For the most up-to-date Vredestein option see the successor model: Quatrac Pro+.
