New benchmark in four-season tyres: the Vredestein Quatrac 5
Advanced tread design:
The new Vredestein Quatrac 5 is characterised by the sleek, asymmetrical design of the tread - a sophisticated symbiosis of winter and summer tyres. The profile on the summer side, with reduced air ratio, ensures excellent handling, great steering precision and plenty of lateral grip on dry and wet road surfaces. The winter side, which deploys sophisticated sipe technology, ensures exceptional grip on cold or snowy surfaces. Another striking feature is the asymmetrical outer longitudinal groove, the edges of which are placed at different angles in the tyre tread. This further optimises the stiffness of the tyre, resulting in greater stability and enhanced handling on dry road surfaces.
New technology:
3D Grip Claws Several new technologies make their debut in the Vredestein Quatrac 5, such as the 3D Grip Claws. Arranged between the sipes in the middle of the tyre, they ensure perfect grip on bends and make it possible to accelerate quickly, even on snowy and icy roads.
Full Silica Compound:
Another new aspect of the Vredestein Quatrac 5 is the Full Silica tread compound mix, which is characterised by a special polymer composition. This ensures a high degree of resistance to wear – making for a long lifespan – while the even distribution of pressure results in an even wear pattern.
Technology:
Innovative tread design: with an asymmetrical outer longitudinal groove for greater stability and enhanced handling on dry surfaces.
3D Grip Claws: great grip when cornering, faster acceleration on snow and ice.
Clever and attractive design: with unique summer and winter sides: optimised performance in all conditions.
Green EU tyre label: low rolling resistance, short braking distances on wet surfaces, exceptionally quiet operation.
Innovative Full Silica Compound: durability and long lifespan.

Bought these to supplement some identical branded ones with a 2021 date code. The newer tyres are made in India, have much thicker sidewalls, the rubber feels harder and they weigh noticeably more. I've put them on the back and they're ok, but the quality has certainly dropped.

I noted a vibration when over 60 MPH on the motorway, a few days after the tyres were fitted and balanced.
i took them for rebalancing, but this did not stop the vibration sensed through the steering wheel.
Jacking up the front wheels I found that one tyre had a flat spot about 70mm long and 3 mm deep.
Instead of returning this for replacement it was quicker and more convenient to switch the tyre from front to back, the vibration was then not noticeable on the steering wheel.
I have had this brand and type for years and this was the first problem.

Quiet and reliable. Roadholding is very good and wear appears low. I had previously fitted two of the same tyre to the rear and this was to complete the set. Very pleased

Really excellent in the dry for an all-season tyre. Very progressive handling, too.
Even at the Nordschleife racetrack they were unvelievable.
Infinite amount of grip, you can feel your eyes about to exit your head when braking for every corner.
See my video on Youtube with them: Peugeot 205 1.1i (60 HP) - Nürburgring Nordschleife BTG lap in 10'19" on all-season tyres.
