When comparing the Vredestein Quatrac and the Continental AllSeasonContact 2 in independent tyre tests, both tyres stand out as strong all-season choices but with different emphases. Test positions show a consistent pattern: Continental typically places higher in comparative test rankings (2nd in several Auto Express and AutoBild line-ups, and 3rd in larger Autobild tests), while the Vredestein often finishes slightly lower (positions 4–5). Despite that, our internal score rates the Vredestein Quatrac at 92% and the Continental AllSeasonContact 2 at 88%, reflecting different scoring priorities across datasets.

Test-summary highlights

Vredestein Quatrac: Repeatedly praised as a "Nässespezialist" — a wet-specialist — with excellent aquaplaning reserves, short wet braking distances and composed wet handling. Reviews also note very good ride comfort and low exterior noise. Weaknesses recorded across tests include higher than average wear / reduced mileage and slightly increased rolling resistance in some assessments.

Continental AllSeasonContact 2: A balanced multi‑talent with particularly convincing performances on snow and ice, strong dry and wet handling, and generally low noise and rolling resistance. Tests call it an allrounder with good braking and grip on wet and snowy surfaces. Reported weaknesses are a tendency to understeer in some conditions, slightly reduced aquaplaning reserves versus the Vredestein, and moderate limits on kilometre performance (average to slightly reduced tread life).

Mutual test positions and what they mean
Across Auto Express and multiple AutoBild rounds, the Continental often ranks ahead (2nd–3rd) while the Vredestein is slightly lower (4th–5th). This consistent edge suggests the Continental offers a more balanced package in mixed test criteria — particularly where snow, dry handling and overall efficiency are rewarded. Conversely, the Vredestein shines in wet tests and aquaplaning scenarios, which can explain its higher percentage rating on some aggregated scales that heavily value wet performance.

Practical verdict — strengths & weaknesses

Choose the Vredestein Quatrac if your priority is ultimate wet-weather safety, strong aquaplaning resistance and a quiet, sporty ride. It is a top pick for drivers who frequently encounter heavy rain and who value steering precision and comfort. Downsides: higher wear and slightly increased fuel consumption in some tests.

Choose the Continental AllSeasonContact 2 if you want a more balanced all-season tyre with excellent winter performance, low noise and good rolling resistance. It is the better overall scorer in head-to-head tests and performs especially well on snow and dry roads. Downsides: some reduced aquaplaning margin vs Vredestein and average tread life.

Neither model is marked as replaced in our dataset; the Continental AllSeasonContact 2 is the successor to the original Continental AllSeasonContact.
