Goodyear Vector 4Seasons Gen-3 is the third generation of a premium all-season tyre. The American brand has come to the conclusion that there is no point in reinventing the wheel and has focused on improving the performance of a model valued by both drivers and automotive experts.
The new 4Seasons offers even better grip on snow - all to give drivers maximum driving confidence in real-winter conditions. This has been achieved by increasing the number of lamellas in the central part of the tread. They are arranged in such a way that the tyre grips the road even more steadily at points of intersection.
Good all-season tyre should also provide driving comfort and dynamic manoeuvrability in good weather conditions, which is why Goodyeat Vector 4Seasons Gen-3 brakes more effectively on dry roads, as well as better handling. The structural change that made this possible turns out to be the reinforcement of the tread blocks. The tyres are less deformed when driving, which improves vehicle handling.
The Vector 4Seasons Gen-3 retains the same level of protection against aquaplaning for many kilometres, as the grooves wear off in such a way that the water is always effectively drained off the wheels.
Goodyear is one of the largest tyre companies in the world. The company has many well-known brands - Debica, Dunlop, Sava and Fulda - but Goodyear tyres are the company's flagship line. They are distinguished by the highest quality of workmanship and performance worthy of motorsports.
