In this comparison, we evaluate two tyres: the Firestone Multiseason 2, manufactured in Italy and the Vredestein Quatrac, hailing from Hungary . Both of these have been subject to various tests, with their data indicating both strengths and weaknesses worth considering.
The Firestone Multiseason 2 holds a respectable rating of 60% on our website. Its stand-out strengths seemingly lie in its superior performance under wet conditions and in snow, with commendable grip on snowy roads and lower rolling resistance. However, it does fall short when it comes to comfort, and its dry braking performance is less than satisfactory, according to tests conducted by ADAC. Autobild has also critically evaluated this tyre, ranking it at a decent 6th position due to its good rolling resistance and price-value ratio. The tyre, however, compromises on curve aquaplaning safety.
On the flipside is the Vredestein Quatrac. Our platform gives it a high rating of 88%, reflecting its unmatched performance as an all-round tyre. The Quatrac fares well in dry conditions, with excellent dry braking and handling. It also maintains performance under wet conditions and in the snow. However, its average wet and snow braking and higher rolling resistance have been highlighted by ADAC. Ranked at 2nd by Autobild, the Quatrac particularly shines with wet braking and cornering, albeit having average tread life.
In mutual tests, Autobild placed the Firestone Multiseason 2 at 22 out of 37 total tyres, while the Vredestein Quatrac held the distinguished 5th position. ADAC's test led to a higher position for Vredestein Quatrac (6th) than Firestone Multiseason 2 (8th). Both tyres have shown excellent performance in different areas. However, overall test results seem to be in Quatrac's favour, giving it a higher rating and test positions.

In conclusion, each tyre has its strengths and weaknesses. For winter conditions, Firestone Multiseason 2 seems a strong contender with its performance under snowy conditions. The Vredestein Quatrac, however, is an all-rounder, with a higher overall rating and better test results. Tyre choice would eventually rest on individual needs and preferences, presenting a balance between both these worthy options.
