Aggregated verdict
Across the test pool the Vredestein Quatrac emerges as the safer, more confidence-inspiring option in wet and winter conditions — its repeated top marks for aquaplaning, wet lap handling and snow braking make it the better pick for drivers who face frequent rain or mixed seasonal conditions. The Quatrac’s higher overall rating and multiple podium finishes reflect this strength.

The Hankook Kinergy 4S2 H750 is the stronger contender for drivers prioritising dry-road dynamics, low rolling resistance and long tyre life. Tests repeatedly praise its precise dry handling, short braking distances on dry tarmac and predicted high mileage — making it a compelling choice for mileage-focused buyers and those who value fuel economy.
