The Goodyear Vector 4 Seasons in the video
End with winter and all-year tires, this year should be year-round tires. But the range of all-season tires that are there is impressive. After long comparisons my choice has fallen on the Goodyear Vector 4Seasons all-season tire.Why it has become the Goodyear Vector 4Seasons year-round tires and what experiences I have made with these all-season tires, can be taken from this experience report.
That's why it was the Goodyear Vector 4Seasons all-season tire
When buying the whole-year tires, I was personally very good adhesion important. The all-season tires should not only convince in the case of drought and a bit of rain, but also in the case of real dingy weather such as ice and snow. Also, of course, the price for all-year tires should be as favorable as possible. This, of course, should not affect the quality. Ultimately, as I mentioned before, I have been stuck after several comparisons at the Goodyear Vector 4Seasons all-season tire. Ultimately convinced me the independent evaluations, namely once by Autobild in the issue 37/2010 and the Testurteil Exemplary. In addition, there was also an evaluation by ADAC Motorwelt, issue 10/2008, which marked the all-season tire of Goodyear as recommendable. This and the price, for me, were the decisive buying arguments for this tire.
Technical details for the Goodyear Vector 4Seasons year-round tire
How good or how bad a car tire is, can be seen by its technical data very well. The Goodyear Vector 4Seasons all-season tire meets wet grip class E, fuel efficiency class E as well as Class 2 requirements for external rolling noise.The measured value for the external rolling noise is precisely 69 dB. The Goodyear all-season tire with its rubber blend appears very sturdy. The dimensions of the Goodyear Vector 4Seasons all-season tire are 60 x 60 x 20 cm, with a weight of 8 kg. The Goodyear all-season strip is in a typical black shade.
Handling and driving during all-season riding
The technical details of the Goodyear Vector 4Seasons all-season tire have already been mentioned. The practice has shown that one can drive with the all-season tires of Goodyear very well. And not only in dry road conditions, but also in heavy rain. I was able to find minor cuts in the rain, but later on. The all-season tires have a very positive effect on the driving behavior of the car. Although I must mention, so far, I have the Goodyear Vector 4Seasons all-season tire yet can not test at snow. Regardless of the weather, the Goodyear Vector 4Seasons convince all-year tires but also by their noises. And in the positive sense, during the ride one does not hear much from the Goodyear Vector 4Seasons year-round tires. Also here the all-season tires of Goodyear convinced me completely.
Easy assembly of Goodyear all-year tires
Of course, the ease of assembly plays a part in the handling of the Goodyear Vector 4Seasons all-season tire. The assembly of the whole-year tires I myself made and must say, it was very simple. To ensure that the assembly of all-year tires was so simple, the dimensions and the low weight of 8 kg were also due. The dimensions and the weight also have a further advantage, one can transport the year-round tires of Goodyear very easily and also store.
Small deficiency in all-year tires from Goodyear
In the driving feeling, I have but also a small disadvantage with the Goodyear Vector 4Seasons all-year tires.Depending on weather conditions, it is as if the tires stick to the road. Here, however, you can get a little trick in the Goodyear Vector 4Seasons all-season tire, by which the tire pressure is increased by a minimal 0.2 bar. You notice this slight increase in tire pressure immediately in the driving behavior of the Goodyear Vector 4Seasons all-season tire. Where one can see this lack, also as an advantage. The adhesion of all-year tires increases, of course, the adhesion.
Conclusion
Very solid and robust processed are the Goodyear Vector 4Seasons all-season tires. For example, they have a good profit. The Goodyear Vector 4Seasons can also convince with the other factors, such as the wet grip class, but also with the fuel efficiency class and the rolling noise. Overall, the all-season tires of Goodyear are characterized by a good and, above all, by a light driving behavior. The all-season tires from Goodyear appear in a very compact form, also the weight with only 8 kg is not particularly high in all-season tires. In addition to the many advantages of the Goodyear Vector 4Seasons all-season tire, I have in the use of the whole-year tires but also a disadvantage. Thus the all-season tires begin to stick just like in wet road conditions. This can be seen as a downside as well as a disadvantage. This is because, of course, the adhesion of all-season tires increases. At the same time, however, this also has an impact on the driving characteristics and the fuel consumption. Where one can fix the defect very easily, one must increase only the tire pressure during the whole-year tires and already the problem is solved. However, the good purchase price is also to be emphasized in the all-season tires from Goodyear. Overall, I am very satisfied with the Goodyear Vector 4Seasons year-round tires and can only recommend this.
