The following comparison features that of two popular tyre models: the Vredestein Quatrac Pro and the Bridgestone Weather Control A005 EVO. Both tyres were rated on various parameters such as wet braking, handling, snow performance, and more.
The Vredestein Quatrac Pro, with a rating of 62%, is known for its strong wet braking and wet handling features, according to data from Tyre Reviews. Despite its low grip in the snow and dry situations, it received praise for its best wet grip on test and fastest wet handling lap. However, the tyre seems to have issues with low aquaplaning resistance and high rolling resistance. In the Autobild test, it demonstrated great exterior noise, comfort, wet circle cornering and dry handling, but was placed 6th out of 10 tyres.
On another note, the model has been replaced with a newer model, the Vredestein Quatrac Pro+.
In comparison, the Bridgestone Weather Control A005 EVO, rated 71%, shines in the categories of wet and dry grip, aquaplaning resistance, and dry braking. The tyre maintains a low rolling resistance, which was noted as the best feature in Tyre Reviews. Its excellent wet and dry grip, coupled with short dry braking, sets it apart. However, its snow performance is quite limited, with difficulties in snow handling and longer braking. In terms of positions from mutual tests, it ranked 3rd in the Gute-Fahrt test and 5th in a test by Autobild where it showed exceptional dry handling and comfort.
In the overall comparison between the two, the Bridgestone Weather Control A005 EVO outperforms the Vredestein Quatrac Pro in terms of mutual test results and overall rating percentage. The Vredestein Quatrac Pro shines in wet situations, but the Bridgestone Weather Control A005 EVO shows more rounded performance across various conditions.
In conclusion, while the Bridgestone Weather Control A005 EVO seems to offer an overall better performance, selection heavily depends on specific requirements and conditions each driver may face. Both manufacturers continue to innovate and upgrade their models to improve performance and customer satisfaction.
