Aggregated test picture
- Autobild (multiple years): Vredestein finished as high as 2nd of 15 and frequently inside the top 5 (5th of 37 in another test). Toyo typically ranks lower (about 12th in comparable Autobild tests).
- ADAC: Vredestein placed 6th of 16, Toyo 11th of 16.
- Overall rating: Vredestein 93% vs Toyo 54% — a significant gap that matches the pattern seen across wet, dry and mixed-condition testing.
Vredestein Quatrac — strengths & weaknesses
- Strengths: Outstanding wet performance (wet handling, wet braking, aquaplaning resistance) and low exterior noise. Tests repeatedly highlight the tyre as a “Nässespezialist” with confident behaviour in rain and mixed conditions. Also scores well for dry handling and agility.
- Weaknesses: Average tread life in several tests and in some reports a slightly higher rolling resistance. Some test notes call out “average wet and snow braking” in specific scenarios, but overall the Quatrac’s wet reserves and handling usually compensate.
- Verdict: The Quatrac is the better-performing all-round tyre for drivers prioritising safety in wet conditions and dynamic handling. It is the superior choice in head-to-heads against the Toyo on braking and aquaplaning tests.
Toyo Celsius AS2 — strengths & weaknesses
- Strengths: Excellent value and long mileage — repeated test summaries praise its high kilometre performance and competitive price/value ratio. Comfortable ride and low exterior noise are other pluses. Good aquaplaning reserves are noted in several reviews, making it a dependable budget option.
- Weaknesses: Weaker winter and wet dynamic performance compared with the Quatrac: longer wet braking distances, understeer on wet and snowy surfaces, delayed steering response. These deficits show up in lower positions in Autobild and ADAC tests.
- Verdict: The Celsius AS2 is a sensible, cost-conscious choice for mileage-focused drivers who accept compromises in handling precision and wet braking. It is not the top performer in mixed-weather performance tests.
Head-to-head conclusion
Across the comprehensive set of tests (Autobild 2022–2025, ADAC and comparative reviews), the Vredestein Quatrac outperforms the Toyo Celsius AS2 in almost all dynamic and wet-condition metrics, and places consistently higher in overall rankings. The Toyo compensates with better wear and price/value, so choose the Quatrac if wet-weather safety and handling are priorities, or the Celsius AS2 if cost-per-kilometre and comfort dominate your buying decision.
