It ended the test just five per cent off a winter tyre designed for markets with frequent and heavy snowfall.<\/p>\n<p>The Goodyear Vector 4Seasons Gen-3 also differentiated itself from its competitors by being the quietest and most fuel-efficient among those tested, particularly important with the increasing popularity of electric SUVs.<\/p>\n<p>The test also presented an important comparison: relative to a benchmark premium SUV summer tyre, the Goodyear Vector 4Seasons Gen-3 had three times the grip in braking and double during acceleration. This difference is compounded by the weight and size of modern SUVs.<\/p>\n<p>Andy Marfleet, marketing director UK and Ireland at Goodyear, commented: \u201cWhen it comes to choosing between tyres for the colder, wetter UK months, there is no better product than Goodyear Vector 4Seasons Gen-3. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It was developed specifically to handle the wide range of conditions and performs excellently in the extreme dry and extreme wet. And, with it being the quietest and most fuel efficient, it\u2019s optimised for the latest generation of electric SUVs.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Goodyear Vector 4Seasons Gen-3 has come out on top in Auto Express\u2019 recent all-season tyre test.
