In this comparison, we will be looking at the Nexen N Blue 4 Season and the Vredestein Quatrac tyres, both of which are all-round tyres designed for various road conditions. The Nexen N Blue 4 Season has been replaced by a newer model, the Nexen N Blue 4 Season 2, while the Vredestein Quatrac remains unchanged.
Starting with the Nexen N Blue 4 Season, this tyre has an overall rating of 80% and is made in both CN and TR. Its strengths include mileage, price/value, and exterior noise, as demonstrated in its 9th place finish out of 32 total tyres in the Autobild test. However, it had some weaknesses such as understeering on wet and dry surfaces, extended wet braking distances, and increased rolling resistance. In the autobild 2022 test, the Nexen N Blue 4 Season received a "+" for its convincing winter performance, excellent mileage, and affordable pricing, while the "-" was attributed to its understeering behavior on wet and dry surfaces, extended wet braking distances, and high rolling resistance. In the autobild 2020 test, the tyre earned praise for its balanced performance, short dry braking distances, good aquaplaning properties, quiet rolling noise, good economy, and high mileage, but the criticism was aimed at its average lateral grip on wet surfaces and increased rolling resistance.
Moving on to the Vredestein Quatrac, this tyre enjoys a higher overall rating of 90% and is made in Hungary. The Quatrac excels in wet circle cornering and wet handling, as shown by its impressive 2nd place position in the Autobild test. Its weaknesses are its mediocre mileage compared to other tyres in the same category. In the autobild 2022 test, the Vredestein Quatrac received a "+" for its balanced performance profile, short wet and dry braking distances, agile handling, direct steering, and low rolling resistance. However, the "-" was given for its modest mileage.
When comparing both tyres in mutual test positions, the Vredestein Quatrac outperforms the Nexen N Blue 4 Season in overall test results. The Vredestein Quatrac has a clear advantage in wet conditions, while the Nexen N Blue 4 Season is more focused on mileage, affordability, and noise reduction.
In summary, both the Nexen N Blue 4 Season and Vredestein Quatrac tyres have their own strengths and weaknesses, with the Quatrac offering better wet performance and the N Blue 4 Season focusing on mileage and affordability. Depending on your driving preferences, either tyre could be a suitable choice for your vehicle.
