Between them, the Nitto Terra Grappler G2 and Vredestein Quatrac appear in 17 tests, though they have not yet met head-to-head in the same test. Head-to-head results carry the most weight here, because surface, weather and test car all change between events and make raw numbers from different tests hard to compare directly.

    How the Vredestein Quatrac performs. It takes the win in ice, noise / comfort, mileage, efficiency. Its overall Tire Lab Score is 90/100, based on 16 tests.

    What this means for you. Category wins matter more than the overall score when your driving is weighted toward one condition — a wet-climate commuter should follow the wet braking column, while a high-mileage driver should follow wear and rolling resistance. Also check that both tires are actually offered in your size and load rating: performance can shift between sizes, and availability differs between the European and North American markets.

    Verdict

    The Vredestein Quatrac is the stronger all-round choice, leading in ice and Tire Lab Score. The Nitto Terra Grappler G2 still wins on wet, making it the right pick if that matters most to you.
