Goodyear has been named the winner of German magazine Auto Bild’s all-season tyre test for the second consecutive year, placing ahead of more than 30 other brands in a comprehensive examination of dry, wet, snow and mileage performance.
Included in the 30 September edition (issue 39-2021) of Auto Bild, the test measured performance of the latest iteration of Goodyear’s award-winning Vector 4Seasons tyre on a BMW 3 Series, with tyre size 225/50R17. Auto Bild’s testers measured 32 tyres, with 16 undergoing a thorough examination, including the latest generation of competitor tyres
The test looked at 16 different aspects, such as performance in dry, wet, and snow conditions, as well as mileage, cost, and rolling resistance. The Goodyear Vector 4 Seasons Gen-3 was the only tyre tested that received a 'green' rating in all 16 categories, resulting in a conclusion that it offers "convincing performance in all weather conditions, dynamic handling, short wet braking distances, very good aquaplaning reserves, high mileage, a good price-performance ratio." The Vector 4Seasons Gen-3 scored higher in Auto Bild’s mileage test than any other tyre in the top five overall.

The Vector 4 Seasons Gen-3 has won Auto Bild's prestigious all-season tyre test for the second time, having placed first in the 2020 edition (issue 39-2020) a year ago, when the publication also awarded Goodyear the title of all-season tyre manufacturer of the year (issue 41-2020).
Laurent Colantonio, Regional Technology Director EMEA, Goodyear: "Consumers who choose all-season tyres to demand a tyre that combines excellent braking and grip in changeable weather conditions, from dry summer roads to wet and wintry conditions, while also maintaining safety and comfort. Combining all of these requirements, and also delivering value to the driver through excellent mileage, is no easy task, and that’s why we’re proud to have more all-season test wins than any other brand2. The Vector 4Seasons Gen-3 is the latest evolution of our long-running Vector family, which has led the way in the development of all-season tyre technology since we invented the all-season tyre 35 years ago."
