Goodyear Vector 4Seasons 175/65 R14 90/88 T C

Tyres: Vredestein Quatrac 3 <> Goodyear Vector 4Seasons I have driven around 6,000 km on Vredestein Quatrac 3 tyres in a Peugeot 206 front drive and around 60,000 km on Goodyear Vector 4Seasons. My comments on the Vredestein Quatrac 3 compared with the Goodyear Vector 4Seasons - Vredestein tyre compound: softer, more flexible - the tyre has the symptom of riding on "jelly beans" (a little too flexible); this causes instability on acceleration and at speeds above 80 km/h (temperatures above 25 degrees Celsius), the car drifts to the left or right (it drives to the side, which decreases safety); however on potholes, the damping of bumps is slightly better than GoodYear's because of the higher elasticity; - the tyre parameters describe lower rolling noise (approx. 68dB) compared to GoodYear (71 dB): my experience shows that the Vredestein makes more noise due to the cross sipes - there is an irritating rattle (the tyres act a bit like a resonance box e.g. in a guitar - you can hear the noise amplification through the walls of the tyre filled with air / nitrogen); it is a bit like driving a tractor - in GoodYear this was not the case (V shaped tread) - rolling resistance of the Vredestein Quatrac 3 is noticeably higher compared with the Goodyear Vector 4Seasons (the car drives slower - for top speed, it accelerates slower); I would put the petrol consumption at about 0.5 litres/100 km) - the water evacuation from under the wheels on the Vredestein Quatrac 3 is worse (less efficient / less effective) than on the Goodyear Vector 4Seasons. Many users rate these tyres as slightly better than GoodYear, but my experience shows that the Goodyear Vector 4Seasons is the better tyre (particularly in terms of ride comfort). Read more Collapse

Goodyear Vector 4Seasons - I've used them for about 60,000 km in summer (above 32°C) and winter (cold, snow and ice) - they perform very well; compared to Pirelli (summer) and Barum (winter) they give a great improvement in ride quality and comfort; very soft on bumps - great damping on uneven surfaces, very good rolling comfort - the car drives like a limousine; I didn't suspect that the quality of the tyre was so important; Rolling noise - noticeably less than previous tyres - these Goodyears are quiet; you can hear the rolling noise - not the noise of the cross sipes - the V shaped tread is angled which makes it quiet; the disadvantage of the V shaped tread is poor drift during hard turns at high speed; the tyres grip the road very well - hard braking - the car stops almost 'on the spot'. (I had to do emergency braking 3 times). I recommend this excellent product. I will now try to put Vredestein Quatrac 3 tyres on the front wheels (drive) as they have the same labels: "E" and "C" (braking) and a similar volume of 68/69 dB - but a different tread shape - on the front axle they shouldn't bear down on sharp turns. Practice - will show what these tyres are worth. I'll leave the Goodyear Vectors on the rear axle. Read more Collapse

I am comparing it with my previous Michelin tyres, also all-season, and see no differences, either positive or negative. Perhaps I have only been using them for a short time. I already know that they handle well on puddles on one side only - they did not pull the car off even though the bodies of water were deep. ;-) By the way, I recommend all-season tyres for cars used like mine - in the city and once a year on the road. The points for snow and slush - only hypothetically, that is similar to Michelin - because the field is required in the survey, and I haven't driven in winter yet. Read more Collapse

The tyres are more expensive than average, but as for me, Goodyear Vector 4Seasons are the best all season tyres. I hesitated for a long time, I looked through a lot of reviews, assessments, tests and specifications. I've been using them since autumn (6 months now) and I'm very satisfied. The tyres were worth purchasing. Many other tyres don't have such grip, and despite a great mileage there's still no visible signs of wearing off. Read more Collapse

I drive on these tyres for the third year and never regretted zakupu.Moje next year will also tyre. Maybe even the same company. Read more Collapse
