Product description & features
The Goodyear Vector 4Seasons Gen-2 is a premium all season car tyre.
Goodyear have taken the design from the original Vector 4Seasons tyre and worked hard to further enhance the tyre's performance. The new tyre features a tread pattern with high density 3D waffle blades - this increases the shoulder block stiffness of the tyre which in turn aids in improving the handling and braking of a car when driving on snow or ice.
In November 2016 the Goodyear Vector 4Seasons Gen-2 was named as the winner of the Auto Express All Season Tyre Test 2016, finishing ahead of a number of other tyres - including the Michelin CrossClimate and the Nokian Weatherproof.
What is an all season tyre
Designed to cope with all sorts of conditions – with a good performance delivered throughout the year. A moderate natural rubber content is used to stop the tyre hardening in temperatures below 7 degrees.
How can I tell an all season tyre performs in winter weather?
This tyre features the EU sanctioned 3PMSF marking - Three Peak Mountain Snowflake:
This accolade was introduced to be an easily recognisable symbol which displays that the tyre has passed standardised, controlled, and, rigorous tests. It confirms the winter suitability of a tyre.
Are all season tyres suitable for the UK?
Given that the UK suffers from milder and interchangeable winter conditions - with severe ice and snow becoming uncommon for much of the country - this makes all season tyres a very good choice for our roads. As they can cope with these conditions very well.
Do I need to swap my tyres throughout the year?
Given the nature of all season tyres, which can perform equally well in the summer and winter months, the need to replace tyres based on the season is not required.
We recommend that all season tyres should be fitted as a full set of 4.
