Comparison: Vredestein Quatrac vs. Bridgestone Turanza All Season 6

The comparison below contrasts two popular all-season tyres: the Vredestein Quatrac (our rating: 92%) and the Bridgestone Turanza All Season 6 (our rating: 90%). Both are marketed as versatile, year‑round solutions, but independent tests and manufacturer notes show distinct strengths. Neither model has a listed replacement model at this time.

Summary of independent test positions and context: across multiple AutoExpress and AutoBild tests (2023–2025) the two tyres often finished close together. In AutoExpress (small 6-tyre test) Bridgestone finished 3rd vs Vredestein 4th. In an AutoBild comparison of 16 tyres Bridgestone was 3rd, Vredestein 4th; in a larger AutoBild test of 37 tyres Bridgestone topped the field (1st) while Vredestein placed 5th. These results show Bridgestone frequently finishing one place ahead in head-to-head test fields, although margins are often narrow.

Vredestein Quatrac — strengths & weaknesses

• Strengths: outstanding wet performance and aquaplaning resistance, very good snow traction for an all‑season tyre, low exterior noise and a comfortable ride. Multiple AutoBild summaries call it a “Nässespezialist” (wet specialist) with large safety reserves in wet conditions.


• Weaknesses: somewhat higher wear / slightly elevated rolling resistance noted in tests, and only average mileage in some reports.


• Best for: drivers prioritising wet braking, aquaplaning safety and quiet comfort, or those who occasionally need real winter capability from an all‑season tyre.

Bridgestone Turanza All Season 6 — strengths & weaknesses

• Strengths: excellent dry handling and braking, solid wet performance (notably wet cornering and braking), and convincing longevity/ tread life reported in AutoBild. Bridgestone often appears as the most balanced performer and has several top finishes in comparative tests.


• Weaknesses: weaker on snow compared with Vredestein — described as a “Sommerspezialist” by some reviewers — and a higher purchase price noted in earlier reviews.


• Best for: drivers who value agile, confident dry handling, short braking distances on dry and wet surfaces, and long tread life.

Head-to-head verdict: although our aggregated score gives a slight edge to the Vredestein Quatrac (92% vs 90%) thanks to its superior wet and winter reserves and quieter ride, real-world comparative tests often place the Bridgestone Turanza All Season 6 ahead in overall standings — including multiple podium finishes and one 1st place in a 37-tyre AutoBild test. In practice this means Bridgestone is the more consistent all‑rounder across mixed evaluations, while Vredestein is the safer pick if wet grip and snow ability are your primary concerns.

Recommendation: choose the Vredestein Quatrac if you regularly face heavy rain or occasional snow and noise/comfort matter. Choose the Bridgestone Turanza All Season 6 if you prioritise dry handling, balanced test results and longer tread life. For more details, visit the manufacturers’ pages: Vredestein and Bridgestone.
