Comparison: Vredestein Quatrac vs. Toyo Celsius AS2 vs. Pirelli Cinturato All Season SF3

The comparison between the Vredestein Quatrac (made in HU) and the Toyo Celsius AS2 (made in JP) is clear when you look across multiple independent tyre tests: the Quatrac consistently ranks near the top for wet performance and overall balance, while the Celsius AS2 scores for value and mileage but falls behind in wet and winter grip.

Test summary and positions
Across Autobild and ADAC test entries the Vredestein Quatrac achieves top placements (examples: 2nd/15 in one Autobild test, 5th/37 in another, and 6th/16 in ADAC) and an overall high internal rating (93%). The Toyo Celsius AS2 repeatedly appears around the lower third of lineups (commonly 11th–12th place) and carries a much lower internal rating (54%). These positions reflect the pattern repeated in year-to-year reviews: Quatrac excels in wet handling, aquaplaning resistance and low exterior noise, while the Celsius AS2 is praised for high kilometre performance and attractive price/value.

Strengths — Vredestein Quatrac
- Outstanding wet performance: short wet braking and very good wet handling and aquaplaning reserves are recurring positives.
- All-round balance: consistently good dry and wet behaviour and competent winter qualities in several year reports.
- Low noise and comfortable ride in many tests.
These attributes make the Quatrac a safe, confident choice for drivers prioritising wet-weather safety and refined on-road manners.

Weaknesses — Vredestein Quatrac
- Wear / mileage is often described as average or moderate compared with dedicated touring/all-season tyres.
- Some tests note higher-than-average rolling resistance in later summaries (mixed with earlier mentions of low resistance), so fuel economy may not be a standout compared with the very longest-life budget options.

Strengths — Toyo Celsius AS2
- Excellent value and high kilometre potential: repeatedly described as a “kilometre guzzler” with very good price/value.
- Comfort and competitive aquaplaning resistance for the class were identified as positives in several tests.
For drivers focused on cost-per-kilometre and longevity, the Celsius AS2 is attractive.

Weaknesses — Toyo Celsius AS2
- Lower wet and winter grip: tests report extended wet braking distances, understeer on wet/snow surfaces and generally reduced safety reserves in slippery conditions.
- Lower levels of comfort and higher rolling resistance have also been flagged in some reports.

Head-to-head verdict
When comparing mutual test positions and aggregated results, the Vredestein Quatrac is the stronger tyre overall for drivers who prioritise wet performance, safety margins and quiet refinement. The Toyo Celsius AS2 is better positioned as a budget-conscious, high-mileage option where absolute wet-weather grip and winter behaviour are less critical. Neither model is currently listed as replaced by a newer variant; if you want manufacturer information check Vredestein and Toyo for full product details and updates.

Choose Vredestein Quatrac for balanced, wet-focused all-season performance; choose Toyo Celsius AS2 if long life and low cost-per-kilometre are your primary goals.
