Comparison: Vredestein Quatrac vs. Nexen N Blue 4 Season

In this comparison, we are evaluating two allround tyres: the Vredestein Quatrac and the Nexen N Blue 4 Season.
The Vredestein Quatrac is a high performer with a strong overall rating of 94%. Manufactured in Hungary, this tyre found its strengths in wet circle cornering and wet handling, as demonstrated by its testing performance - securing the 2nd position in the Autobild test. However, it was also reported that the tyre displayed a modest mileage.
On the other hand, we have the ‘Nexen N Blue 4 Season’ tyre. Securing a rating of 62%, it was manufactured in China and Turkey. Its strong suit lies in its mileage, price-value proposition and exterior noise levels. This tyre was able to clinch the 9th position in the Autobild test of 32 tyres. However, extended braking distances on wet surfaces and increased rolling resistance were identified as areas that could be improved in this tyre.
Upon further examination in autobild 2022, the Vredestein Quatrac still demonstrated strong performance with balanced profiles and agility, regardless of conditions. Its wet and dry braking distances are short with low rolling resistance. The only downside is its mediocre mileage.
In contrast, the Nexen N Blue 4 Season impressed with its winter abilities and laudable mileage. The tyre is also attractively priced. However, it demonstrated an understeering behaviour whether in wet or dry conditions, resulting in extended braking distances on wet surfaces and increased rolling resistance.
It is noteworthy that the Nexen N Blue 4 Season has been replaced by its newer variant.
Both these offerings from Vredestein and Nexen have their respective strengths and weaknesses. The Vredestein Quatrac is superior by a margin when it comes to overall performance, especially in wet conditions. Its rating of 94% testifies to its strong execution. On the other hand, the Nexen N Blue 4 Season excels in terms of its high mileage and cost efficiency.
In conclusion, for someone prioritising strong wet performance and immediate responsiveness, the Vredestein Quatrac would be the ideal choice. For those seeking high mileage and a strong cost-benefit ratio, the Nexen N Blue 4 Season, or perhaps, its successor, would be more suitable.
