Tyre characteristicsReinforced tyre (XL)XL means Extra Load. The tyre is reinforced and can carry a higher load than a standard tyre of the same size. Always follow the vehicle's specified load index and tyre pressure.
Special characteristicsMud and Snow (M+S)M+S is a manufacturer's indication that the tread is intended to offer improved traction in mud and snow. By itself it is not the same as the tested 3PMSF winter certification.Three-Peak Mountain SnowflakeThe mountain-and-snowflake symbol identifies a tyre that has passed a standardised severe-snow traction test. It is the recognised performance marking for winter conditions.
Speed indexThe speed index indicates the maximum approved speed.V (max. 240 km/h)
Load indexThe load index indicates the maximum load capacity per tyre.97 (max. 730 kg)
(*Data based on internal testing compared to predecessor Quatrac 5 in development size 205/55 R16 91V)
Tread compound is enhanced with terpene-based resins & silica is better dispersed among long chain polymers - leading to more than 20% increase in wear life.
10% larger net contact area*
New concept ‘deep V’ tread pattern
Aquaplaning resistance improved by +20% while cornering and +10% while driving straight.
Next-generation compound with multifunctional polymers
Improved tyre contour and balanced bead construction result in 10% improvement in rolling resistance, leading to significant fuel savings.
Fine-tuned tyre cavity leads to more uniform pressure distribution, ensuring an even tyre wear.
More than 10% improvement in aquaplaning resistance*
Significantly lowering environmental impact
Tyre shoulders are more summer-oriented with one sipe per shoulder block while the central part is more winter-oriented with higher sipe density for winter traction.
Improved handling across dry, wet & snow surfaces
20% improvement in tyre life*
Based on 28+ years of All-Season expertise
Air ratio reduced by 4% to increase wear life.
More than 20% improvement in wet handling and 10% better wet braking performance thanks to silica-based compound and V-shaped pattern.
12% better dry handing because of higher net contact area and stiffer shoulder blocks.
5% better handling on snow thanks to 10% more snowcutting edges optimised for all steering angles.
Deep V shaped tread pattern perfected by fine-tuning angles, sipe length and air ratio.
What the tyre markings mean
XL
Reinforced tyre (XL)XL means Extra Load. The tyre is reinforced and can carry a higher load than a standard tyre of the same size. Always follow the vehicle's specified load index and tyre pressure.
M+S
Mud and Snow (M+S)M+S is a manufacturer's indication that the tread is intended to offer improved traction in mud and snow. By itself it is not the same as the tested 3PMSF winter certification.
3PMSF
Three-Peak Mountain SnowflakeThe mountain-and-snowflake symbol identifies a tyre that has passed a standardised severe-snow traction test. It is the recognised performance marking for winter conditions.

No complaints so far
Fitted before a long road trip. Comfortable at motorway speeds and felt safe in heavy rain. Coped fine with a light snowfall in early spring. Could be a touch quieter on rough tarmac.

Great on the motorway
Brakes hard and straight, no pulling. Very reassuring. Ordered online, fitted locally.

Fitted and forgotten
Switched from a budget brand to the Quatrac — the difference in braking is obvious. Good all-season tyre for the money.

Fitted and forgotten
Not the grippiest in hard cornering, but for normal driving they're more than adequate.

Great on the motorway
A sensible buy. Not sporty, but safe and quiet.

Trusted Vredestein quality
For this price I didn't expect much, but the Quatrac genuinely surprised me.
