The 3PMSF mark is proof of the high winter performance. Rubber Goodyear Vector 4 Season Gen 3 is most often chosen for driving around the city, drivers with moderate or calm driving style.
The Vector 4Seasons Gen-3 car tyre has a tread directionality. The tyres are equipped with a tread, all zones of which are characterized by sloping grooves that go to the center of the profile, as well as wide passing grooves. Such drainage structure of Aqua Control reminds the shape of the letter “V” or “U”.
Another element that allowed Goodyear’s all-season rubber to outperform its competitors is the dense lamellas made in 3D technology, which allows safe and comfortable driving on any surface. Together with a modern rubber compound and directional tread, the lamellas allow the car tyre to adapt to the prevailing temperature faster and gain the right characteristics. By choosing the presented tyre model, you guarantee very good handling (improved traction by 4-7%), which provides more control over the car throughout the year.

Testimonials
Advantages: quiet, soft, water and puddles are not a problem even at speed. primer – good, from the mud does not get out. winter slush is very good, does not tan to -20 degrees.
Disadvantages: for all seasons tyre – no.
Comment: good all-season tyre
Disadvantages: Did not notice …
Comment: I bought myself for the off-season and summer, in winter it’s still better than spikes, because I often weave on the road, and for the city the more central part I think it will do and all 4 seasons…..
Disadvantages: not noticed.
Comment: In winter it is easy to get out of snowdrifts, on ice also behaves decently. In summer this tyre is just an all-terrain vehicle, ideal for country roads, mud, water – everything is easy. On a good asphalt it is very quiet, on an ordinary road it does not make more noise than summer tyres, and of course it is quieter than studded tyres. I decided to take the whole season not to buy 2 sets of tyres and not to bother with tyre fitting works. I doubted for a long time whether the whole season is not dangerous in severe winters, I read reviews and reviews, and finally I decided and did not regret it. There were no problems on the ice. Of course, I drove carefully, otherwise even spikes would not help. If you doubt whether to take the all season tyre for winter – take it definitely, you will not regret it.
