Nokian WeatherProof SUV vs Vredestein Quatrac: the full picture
This comparison is built only from published independent tests — no manufacturer claims and no sponsored reviews. Between them, the Nokian WeatherProof SUV and Vredestein Quatrac appear in 18 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 Nokian WeatherProof SUV performs. It takes the win in wet, snow, noise / comfort, efficiency. Its overall Tire Lab Score is 90/100, based on 2 tests.
How the Vredestein Quatrac performs. It takes the win in dry, ice, mileage. 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 dry and Tire Lab Score. The Nokian WeatherProof SUV still wins on wet, making it the right pick if that matters most to you.
