Review
What this product is
Written after the analysis, from the same sources the score is built on: the manufacturer's documentation, available studies and verified owner feedback.
The value pick among tyres that have actually been tested in 205/55 R16. ADAC's 2024 test in this size rated it 2.8 ("befriedigend"), with a driving-safety sub-grade of 3.1 and an environment sub-grade of 2.2 — so it is the safety side, not wear or efficiency, that holds it back. In ADAC's 2026 test in 185/65 R15 it scored 2.9, fourth of eleven.
In 205/55 R16 91H the label shown by reifen.com is C / B / 70 dB (class B), EPREL 615699, with 3PMSF and M+S. At 74.35 EUR it is about 20 EUR per tyre cheaper than the Goodyear or Continental. reifen.com reports 4.71/5 from 294 reviews, the largest sample in this list. The retailer also quotes an Auto Zeitung test win from 2021; we saw that only on the retailer page and give it little weight because of its age.
What is missing: we could not open a Vredestein product page, so there are no manufacturer claims here. Note that Vredestein also sells a different, more recent Quatrac Pro+, which scored only 3.8 in ADAC's 2025 225/45 R17 test — do not confuse the two.
