Strengths and weaknesses

Vredestein Quatrac

Wet mastery: Repeatedly praised for wet circle cornering, wet handling and wet braking; very good aquaplaning reserves noted in 2023 reports.

Dry confidence: Good dry braking and agile handling; pleasant, quiet exterior noise performance in Autobild’s larger test.

Snow capability: Rated “good” for overall snow performance, though some summaries mention only average snow braking.

Efficiency and wear: Mixed findings – low rolling resistance in 2022, but higher-than-average in 2024; mileage assessed as only average in several years.

Overall, the Quatrac combines class-leading wet safety with well-rounded dry and winter performance, making it a top pick for varied climates where rain performance is critical.

Firestone Multiseason 2

Snow specialist: Consistently strong snow traction and grip with short snow braking distances; very good around the wet handling lap.

Efficiency and value: Low rolling resistance and high mileage highlighted in multiple tests, plus a strong price/value proposition.

Trade-offs: Extended dry braking in 2024 and slightly below-average comfort; only moderate aquaplaning reserves and a tendency to understeer on snow and dry in some years. Mileage assessments vary by size/test (from high to somewhat limited).

In short, the Multiseason 2 leans toward winter traction and efficiency with a budget-friendly angle, but it does not match the Quatrac’s wet-braking safety or its consistently high overall rankings.

Verdict: which tyre is better overall?

If you prioritize maximum safety on wet roads and balanced performance year-round, the Vredestein Quatrac is the stronger performer across the board, reflected in its higher overall rating and superior placements in Autobild and ADAC. Choose it if rain performance and confident handling are your top concerns.
The Firestone Multiseason 2 is the smarter pick for drivers seeking excellent snow traction, lower rolling resistance and good value, and who can accept longer dry braking and some aquaplaning limitations. It’s a compelling, efficient choice in milder or snow-focused regions on a budget.
