I bought these tires in September 2010 and so far I've tested them in every condition. I have to addmit that Vredestein Quatrac 3 are good either in wet and dry weather. It is true that on wet road surface a noise similair to whistling comes out. I found them pretty good even during winter. Everything is ok when driving but it seems to me that they have a bit lack of thrust and sometimes it is hard to get out of snowdrift ( I think that Quatrac 2 were better in that particular case). When the road surface is covered with ice I found them rather weak - you have to be prepared to brake earlier than usualy and to drive responsibly. I read in one of the magazines that these tyres have more Summer properties. Nevertheless I am satisfied and I will buy them again.

I have used these tyres for 3 years, now into my 2nd set. 20,000miles on the front is easily achieved. Best wet weather tyre I have ever driven and I have driven 100's of thousands of miles with all major branded UK available tyres. These tyres are now on my wife's car (Focus)and she is more confident in wet / cold weather. Don't be fooled into thinking they are as good as a full winter tyre as they are not but as a compromise they are far superior to any 'normal' tyre in the mixed winter we have in the UK. For me a worthwhile investment but don't wait until the winter to buy them as stocks go quickly. You can import and have them fitted though.

Well, I was skeptical before buying tires for use of 4 seasons, but after trying them I changed my mind. Both dry and wet performance is almost similar to my old Bridgestone Turanza er summer, but unlike the latter on the snow you can not get stuck. For consumption on the tread can not express myself as I drove only 5000 km, and almost everyone in superstrada.Di safely recommend them.

Vredesteins Quatrac 3 are uch better than winter tyres for 50GPB/ ea. I checked the in winter last year. Of course no madness allowed because they are not chains. My car sticked to the road without exeptions. The ABS turned on just 2 times during 60 miles distance, when I was braking on the traffic lights. In the summer these tyres are silent and they dont squeak. When I see people writing that you have to put winter tyres on winter I'm sure that they didn't use Quatracs 3. Recommend!

Tires: Vredestein Quatrac 3 <> Goodyear Vector 4Seasons drove on tires Vredestein Quatrac 3 approx. 6 thousand miles, front wheel drive Peugeot 206, and the tires Goodyear Vector 4Seasons - approx. 60 thousand km. My comments on Vredestein Quatrac 3 compared to the Goodyear Vector 4Seasons: - a mixture of plastic Vredestein soft, more flexible - tires are a symptom of riding on "żelkach" (a little too flexible); this causes instability when driving a car track, acceleration and speeds the area. 80 km / h (temperature area. 25 celsius) car drifts to the left or right (riding on the sides - which lowers the safety); However, holes - damping inequality is a little better than the Goodyear because of the greater flexibility jellies; - The parameters of the tire rolling noise are described below (approx. 68dB) compared Goodyear (71 dB); My experience shows that Vredestein makes more noise due to the transverse slats - is irritating fiddler (tires act a bit like a resonance box for example. playing a guitar - you can hear the noise through the walls to strengthen the tires filled with air / nitrogen); a bit like driving a tractor - in Goodyear was not the (V-shaped tread); - The rolling resistance Vredestein Quatrac 3 are clearly higher for the Goodyear Vector 4Seasons (car goes slower - for maximum speed, slower speeds); I would give higher fuel consumption by approx. 0.5 liters / 100 km); - Drainage of water from the tires on the tires Vredestein Quatrac 3 is worse (less efficient / less efficient) compared with Goodyear Vector 4Seasons. Many users evaluate these tires as little better than Goodyear, but my experience shows that Goodyear Vector 4Seasons are better tires (especially when it comes to comfort).
