Product description & features

Quatrac 5 by Vredestein is the asymmetrical premium all season tyre with dry and snowy sections. The dry-road cornering outer section has larger and firmer blocks. The inner wet-road section has more open channels with denser fine slits for water and snow removal. Vredestein’s 3D Sipe Technology is responsible for keeping the blocks shape on wet and snowy road surface, while the Full Silica Compound is created for better flexibility at low temperatures.

The Quatrac 5 is the successor of the Quatrac 3 and has the 3PMSF marking on its sidewall. These tyres are proven to comply with the snow traction requirements as they have the appropriate marking. In addition, there was another variant of Quatrac 5 – Quatrac 5 SUV with a reinforced casing to deal with the added weight of an SUV. The tyres can be purchased from Tyres.co.uk.

Highlights

  • Asymmetrical all-season tread
  • Dry and snow traction are separated
  • Open channels move water and snow away
  • Reinforced SUV version available

Tyre review for Vredestein Quatrac 5 185/55R14 80T
My previous tyres wore out really fast and often slipped. By contrast, these tyres still look almost new and appear to grip well in wet and dry conditions. I'm not really certain of the miles covered, but we are currently in June and I put them on in March, and there are no problems to report. Check out the photos of the tyres taken in June.

An excellent all season tyre with great wet grip. Volvo diesels tend to wear out front tyres quickly, but these are performing well.

Although they don't handle quite as well as the Continental summer tyres I used to own, they do have a good grip, a quiet run, and a smart look.

Tyre review for Vredestein Quatrac 5 185/55R14 80T
I have Vredestein all-season tyres on my Fiat Panda, size 155/80/13. There were only two options I could find in this size, and these had the best stats. Previously, I used to have summers from Michelin and winters from Avon, and I used to have to change them each season. The Vredestein all-season tyres perform well in both cold and warm temperatures, and the car feels better compared to when I had the Michelin and Avon. I like the grip, fuel efficiency and longevity. I would definitely recommend these for smaller cars like the Panda.

Tyre review for Vredestein Quatrac 5 185/55R14 80T
I bought these tyres the first time for my car around Christmas of 2019. I experienced two blowouts after a week of getting the tyres, and I was hesitant to get them again. But, I noticed that the previous winter was milder so it could have been unlucky circumstances. A few months ago, I had limited options for tyres and decided to go with these again and I'm so glad I did! The tyres are very quiet even with my 18-inch wheels, and they feel smooth with great grip in the snow and cold, as well as excellent handling. Overall, I really enjoy driving these tyres!

Tyre review for Vredestein Quatrac 5 185/55R14 80T
They have improved how my 1998 Polo drives. The ones it came with were awful. I was the first to change them to Vredesteins. While it's not an easy size to find now, i'm glad I did not compromise on price and quality with some unknown brand. I have them. I have decent grip, comfort and silence. A year later, they are still well.

I haven't driven a lot of miles on these tyres yet, but they seem to grip the road well and I have confidence in their braking. Price is reasonable for a mid-range tyre.

Tyre review for Vredestein Quatrac 5 185/55R14 80T
We have yet to try them in snowy conditions, but they have been outstanding in both hot and cold conditions, and on rain soaked roads. They are also stable, quiet, and have great grip. They do, however, seem to be quite particular about tyre pressure.

Tyre review for Vredestein Quatrac 5 185/55R14 80T
These tyres are consistent with their grip in all conditions, but they especially excel in icy or mildly snowy conditions. Our workplace car park has a steep incline and these tyres were able to keep hold of enough grip to pull the car up even with a sheet of ice. I have experienced a small dip in "feel" from the tyres which I, in part, attribute to the cold temperatures, or perhaps even to a larger proportion of natural rubber than is ideal. All things considered, I am very happy with them.

Tyre review for Vredestein Quatrac 5 185/55R14 80T
They are much quieter on the road, offer better grip in wet conditions, and give overall better steadiness. I would absolutely buy these tyres again and would definitely recommend them to anyone with a 2002-2006 Honda CR-V.

I am happy with the new tyres, but I don't think they are as good on fuel as my old Pirelli tyres.
