Goodyear Vector All Season 4 – a quiet, high-grip all-season tyre
The Goodyear Vector All Season 4 all-season tyre helps maintain traction on wet, lightly snow-covered roads, whilst reducing rolling resistance on dry tarmac. The 3PMSF Alpine symbol, awarded following rigorous testing of traction and braking performance, indicates that the tyres are suitable for winter conditions.
A flexible surface and a tread designed for a variety of conditions
The manufacturer has focused on achieving a balance of performance characteristics (grip, durability and user comfort) in this model. An important feature of these tyres is the WeatherReady system, which utilises technologies designed to improve performance in a variety of weather conditions. Examples include Dry-Contact-Plus technology (stability during dynamic manoeuvres on dry tarmac) and the 3D Blade Sipe System (sipes that improve traction on wet roads, amongst other things).
The herringbone tread pattern of the Goodyear Vector All Season 4 tyre features strong directional elements that contribute, for example, to braking safety. On dry roads, on the other hand, the tyre’s surface reduces rolling resistance, which results in lower fuel consumption.

Goodyear
Goodyear is a company whose history dates back to 1898, when Frank Seiberling founded the firm, named in honour of Charles Goodyear, the inventor of the rubber vulcanisation process. Over many decades, the company has made a name for itself as a pioneer of new technologies, developing, amongst other things, the first fully replaceable tyre and the forerunner to run-flat technology – the LifeGuard dual-tube tyre. It was on the American company’s innovative tyres that a car first broke the 600-mile-per-hour barrier, and they also accompanied the crew during the first successful moon landing. Today, Goodyear is one of the world’s largest tyre manufacturers, classified – and not without reason – in the highest premium segment. The American group owns brands such as Dębica, Fulda and Sava.
