Comparison: Pirelli Cinturato All Season SF2 vs. Vredestein Quatrac vs. Firestone Multiseason 2

Today, we are comparing the Pirelli Cinturato All Season SF2 and Vredestein Quatrac tyres. The SF2, later replaced by the Pirelli Cinturato All Season SF3, is rated at 73% while the Quatrac boasts an impressive 92%.

Let's begin with the Pirelli Cinturato All Season SF2 - this all round tyre, presents precise and secure characteristics especially when driven to the limit on a dry track. Its secure responses extend to wet and winter conditions as well, a feature that speaks volumes of its adaptability. Despite its predictably lower mileage and marginally heavier weight, its low fuel consumption compensates. The SF2 stands out particularly for its exceptional external noise and longitudinal aquaplaning feats but does fall short with increased rolling resistance and average mileage.

On the other hand, the Vredestein Quatrac, produced by Vredestein, flaunts commendable longevity with minimal wear, and impressive efficiency. However, it underperforms on dry tracks, and reveals slight weaknesses in wet and winter driving situations. In ADAC's tests, it trailed behind the SF2, ranking 6th out of 16, against SF2's 2nd place. Yet, it championed in wet braking, handling, and cornering. It brings to the table dynamic driving behaviour regardless of the weather, enhanced winter qualities, and excellent aquaplaning reserves. The Quatrac delivers the luxury of pleasantly hushed rolling comfort at the expense of average mileage.

In conclusion, even though the Pirelli Cinturato All Season SF2 leads in mutual test positions, the Vredestein Quatrac compensates with remarkable longevity and efficiency. The final decision hinges on your driving needs, whether you prioritize handling precision and fuel economy or value mileage and durability.

Both these tyres represent the pinnacle of all-season performance, and offer great features for different customer needs. As always, we recommend consulting a professional before deciding on the tyre that best suits your vehicle and driving habits.
