Goodyear Vector 4seasons Gen-3 tops latest ADAC test

Goodyear’s Vector 4Seasons Gen-3 has achieved a “Good” rating and shared 1st place in the latest all-season tyres test by ADAC, the largest automative association in Europe.

Previously, in 2024, the Vector 4Seasons Gen-3 was the first all-season tyre ever to receive the “Good” ADAC rating.

Goodyear says the new test results highlight the tyre’s well-balanced performance, outlining why the tyre is a top choice for consumers and business fleets.

The Vector 4Seasons Gen-3 stood out as the best tyre for mileage in the ADAC test. It lasted an estimated 68,000 km before tread wear. It also impressed with its outstanding environmental balance and was praised for its “very low abrasion, low weight and low fuel consumption”.

The tyre’s longevity and efficiency help ensure direct savings and lower cost of ownership, which Goodyear says makes the tyre a smart investment for private drivers and fleet operators.

The test result underlines the well-balanced performance of the Vector 4Seaons Gen-3, which Goodyear says is a direct result of its innovative tyre technologies. These include:

• Aqua Control Technology: Deep and wide grooves enhance water dispersion and offer outstanding handling on wet roads.
• Dry Handling Technology: Reinforced crown and shoulder blocks reduce tyre deformation during heavy maneuvers and deliver convincing dry braking.
• Snow Grip Technology: Numerous sipes at the tyre’s centre provide outstanding grip and handling in wintry conditions.

“The Goodyear Vector 4Seasons Gen-3’s well balanced performance and leading mileage delivers exceptional value for consumers and fleets,” said Ben Glesener, senior director, technology consumer, EMEA, Goodyear. “This recognition from ADAC underscores our commitment to provide cost-effective tires with high performance for all-season driving.”
