Comparing two premium tyres, the BFGoodrich G-Grip All Season 2 and the GoodYear Vector 4Seasons Gen-3, this comparison will highlight both models' strengths and weaknesses based on various tests and user reviews. This comparison primarily focuses on all-round tyres that are suitable for year-round use.
Originating from the dynamic stables of BFGoodrich, the G-Grip All Season 2 has notable strengths in exterior noise reduction, overall comfort, and several snow-related aspects including snow braking, snow cornering and snow handling. Its strength in snow-related functions makes it an ideal choice for drivers driving in snowy conditions. However, its weakness is in the understeering behavior on wet surfaces.
On the other hand, the GoodYear Vector 4Seasons Gen-3 shines on different features. This tyre excelled in areas such as aquaplaning, mileage yield, exterior noise reduction, and a lower resistance to rolling. Furthermore, it has dynamic handling in varied weather conditions, which includes a remarkable performance during snowy, wet, and dry conditions. Notably, it was reported to have excellent winter characteristics and a long-lasting mileage lifespan. The GoodYear Vector 4Seasons Gen-3 was manufactured to replace the earlier versions of the Goodyear Vector 4Seasons Gen-2 and Goodyear Vector 4Seasons models.
When comparing the overall test positions in Autobild's test, the GoodYear tyre performed considerably better, landing the 4th spot out of 32 tested tyres while the BFGoodrich tyre was ranked 12th. The varying strengths and weaknesses of both tyres suggest that the choice of the 'better' tyre largely depends on the specific requirements of the driver.
In conclusion, the BFGoodrich G-Grip All Season 2 and the GoodYear Vector 4Seasons Gen-3 are both all-round tyres crafted to provide safe and comfortable driving experiences throughout the year. While they both have unique strengths, the GoodYear tyre appears to offer a better overall performance in most aspects based on the test results.
