I’ve been researching the Goodyear Vector 4Seasons Gen-3 tires and I’m curious to hear from anyone who has experience with them.

Key Points of Interest:

  • Performance in Different Conditions: How do they handle in snow versus dry conditions?
  • Wear and Longevity: Have they shown good wear patterns? How long did they last for you?
  • Comfort and Noise Levels: Are these tires quiet compared to others you’ve used?
  • Comparison with Other Brands: How do they stack up against competitors like Michelin or Continental?

I’m considering purchasing these tires but would love some real-world feedback before making a decision. Anyone have suggestions or insights to share? Thanks!

I recently put the Goodyear Vector 4Seasons Gen-3 on my sedan, and I’ve been impressed overall! In light snow, they handled well, and the grip on wet roads is great too!

3

That’s good to hear! How do they perform on ice specifically? I’m a bit worried about that.

4

I’ve had them for two winters now. Ice traction is decent, but I still prefer dedicated winter tires for really icy conditions. They’re good for everyday driving, though.

5

That makes sense. I wonder how they compare to all-season tires? Anyone made that switch?

6

Anyone else feeling like winter tires are just a marketing gimmick? I mean, how much difference can they really make?

7

Haha, I used to think that too! But after trying the Vector 4Seasons, I get it now. It’s night and day in winter weather!

How do they cope with slush? I find that can be a real challenge for hybrid tires like these.

Great question, stephen! In slushy conditions, the Vector Gen-3 has been surprisingly effective. I didn’t feel like I was hydroplaning, which is a win for me.

I haven’t tried the Gen-3 but I’ve had the Gen-2 and loved them! Good to see the improvements with the new model. Anyone tried them in deep snow?

11

I’ve taken them through a few inches of deep snow, and they did surprisingly well! I wouldn’t push it too much more, though.

12

For versatile conditions, I think they are worth it, but for extreme winter sports, I might still opt for a dedicated winter tire. Just my two cents!

13

I’ve also had the Gen-3s for over a year. They wear evenly, which is something I didn’t get with my previous all-seasons. I feel like they last longer than other brands I’ve tried, especially in harsh conditions.

That’s a game-changer! I must admit, I was skeptical about all-season tires before reading this. Have you done any off-roading with them? How do they hold up?

15

Not off-road, but I drove through a lot of heavy rain and snow. They performed surprisingly well! Tread wear seems better than my previous all-seasons. Love how versatile they are without compromising safety.

16

Actually, they’re quieter than I thought they’d be. I always feared that all-seasons might be loud, but these have been quite pleasant! Overall, much better than my last set of tires.

17

Interesting! I wonder how they perform on highways. Any notable differences at higher speeds with tread wear?

None that I’ve experienced! I think the quality is top-notch. It’s important to check for recalls or issues online, but Goodyear seems reliable with these. Fingers crossed for a smooth ride!

I’ve been using the Goodyear Vector 4Seasons Gen-3 for about six months now. The handling is quite impressive, especially in dry conditions. You can really feel the grip when cornering! Overall, I find the ride comfort to be very pleasant. Definitely recommend giving them a try!

Thanks for the feedback, andrew13! I’m curious about the noise levels. Are they relatively quiet compared to other all-season tires?
