First, let's take a look at the Nexen N Blue 4 Season. Made in both CN and TR, it has an overall rating of 80% on our site, and it was replaced by the Nexen N Blue 4 Season 2. This tyre performed well in various tests, with standout features including exterior noise, price/value, snow cornering, ice braking, and ice lateral guidance.

The ADAC test showed its best performance, claiming the 1st position out of 9 tyres, with top scores in ice braking, ice lateral guidance, and exterior noise.
Moving on to the Vredestein Quatrac 5, this tyre, made in NL, has a higher overall rating of 83% on our site. It has not been replaced by any newer model. In the Autobild test, it landed in 6th place out of 27 tyres, with its best feature being exterior noise. However, in the AutoMotorSport test, it scored 5th place out of 7 tyres. In the ADAC test, the Quatrac 5 ranked 7th out of 9 tyres, with its best features being dry driving behavior, safety, and interior noise.
Overall, it seems that the Nexen N Blue 4 Season tyre outperforms the Vredestein Quatrac 5 in nearly all mutual tests, especially in snow and ice conditions. However, the Quatrac 5 does have its strengths in the dry driving behavior and safety categories. It is also worth noting that the Nexen N Blue 4 Season has been replaced by the Nexen N Blue 4 Season 2, which may provide an even better experience.
In conclusion, if you are looking for an all-season tyre with better performance in snow and ice conditions, the Nexen N Blue 4 Season is likely your best choice, with the upgraded model Nexen N Blue 4 Season 2 potentially offering even greater benefits.
