Goodyear Vector 4Seasons Gen-3 is a next-generation all-season tyre designed to provide reliable performance all year round. It features advanced technology that optimises grip, handling and safety in a variety of weather conditions.
- Enhanced snow grip: With Snow Grip technology, the overlapping sipes positioned in the centre of the tread open wider, delivering improved traction on snowy roads.
- Excellent dry-road handling: A rigid crown and wide, robust shoulder blocks reduce deformation during demanding manoeuvres and shorten braking distances.
- Long-lasting protection against aquaplaning: Aqua Control technology relies on evolving grooves that maintain efficient water evacuation throughout the tyre’s life.
Designed for passenger cars, this model offers a balance of safety, driving comfort and durability in both summer and winter.
Snow Grip technology is based on a specific tread design intended to improve tyre behaviour on snowy roads. It features a high density of sipes concentrated in the centre of the tread.
These sipes are designed to interact with each other at their crossing points. This interaction encourages them to open under load, allowing the tyre to grip the snowy surface more effectively.
This architecture contributes to enhanced traction and better handling on snow, with performance improving compared with the previous generation.
Aqua Control technology is designed to maintain effective contact with the road in heavy rain conditions. It is based on a tread pattern incorporating wide, deep grooves, designed to channel and quickly evacuate water outwards.
These grooves feature an evolving design that allows them to remain effective as the tyre wears, ensuring consistent wet-road performance throughout its service life.
This optimised water management helps reduce the risk of aquaplaning and promotes steady stability when driving through puddles or over heavily waterlogged areas, helping to maintain reliable steering control.
To meet the demands of an all-season tyre in summer conditions, the design is based on a structure intended to maintain rigidity on dry roads. The rubber blocks located in the centre of the tread as well as on the shoulders are specifically reinforced.
This architecture limits rubber deformation under high loads, such as hard cornering or sudden braking. Maintaining the contact patch with the road surface therefore helps to improve braking efficiency on dry ground.
The increased stability of the blocks also contributes to more precise steering and more stable road handling, providing better-controlled driving when temperatures are high.
