QUATRAC PRO

<p>Fantastic all season tyre. Always felt secure although moving off on ice made the tyre scrabble, moderating my driving to the conditions sorted this. Over 27k miles driven & still loads of tread (av 3 fronts, 6 rears). VW Taigo a fairly light car though. Mixed roads & long trips & all conditions. Better than Bridgestone A/s on previous car (Kia Ceed) which cupped & wore badly. Personally feel the asymetric tread pattern is superior. Comfortable & quiet tyre.</p>

<p>ok</p>

I bought the car with these tyres factory fitted and replaced front pair as they were worn after 50K km. If I could turn back time I'd rather buy 4 summer tyres and later 4 winter. I thought the car wasn't handing good because of the front worn tires but after installation of the new ones it's still not the best. When the car is parked for a couple of days the rubber will deform causing vibration. Recently when the temperature dropped below 0*C the tail wants to go sideways whenever there is a trace of a frost on the corner. I don't know are these rear tyres aged so badly?

all weather just of the name. they were strong on wet, decent on dry, even when cold, but on snow they were such bad as regular summer tyre. no braking, no grip, no up hill moving. bad.
average wear, pretty loud, wouldn't buy again

These came fitted with the car, all in all positively unintrusive. On snow covered roads it's alright, if you adjust your speed accordingly.
Snow traction was quite good in a 2 tonne all wheel driven XC60.
The biggest issue was that if the vehicle started to slip the recovery time was just atrocious. Even just feathering the brakes they would lock up once traction loss occurred.
As an all season tire in milder climates it's surely quite good but in the region I live in, I'm going to change for the Hankook icept Evo 3 X's for the next winter.
I wasn't able to thoroughly test them in Hot/Summer Weather though, as they were swapped for Summer wheels, when temperatures reached 20° C they seemed pretty grippy and stable though.
