Let's start by comparing the GoodYear Vector 4Seasons Gen-3 and the Bridgestone Turanza All Season 6. A look at the respective overall ratings from the tests data indicates that Bridgestone’s product excels over GoodYear's with a rating of 91% as opposed to GoodYear's 86%. Although both tyres are recognized for their superb all-round capabilities, the differences in performance, strengths, and weaknesses are worth noting.
GoodYear's Vector 4Seasons Gen-3, manufactured in Slovenia and France, carries forward the reputable lineage of its preceding models. Our data signifies that it held a dominant position in the Autozeitung test, bagging the first position due to its best features like dry handling, safety measures, noise control, and exceptional handling on wet surfaces. The Gen-3 model excelled in all weather conditions showing balanced performance and good aquaplaning reserves, however, it falls behind regarding kilometre mileage.
In contrast, the Bridgestone Turanza All Season 6, an Italian-made all-rounder, scored slightly lower in the Autozeitung test but has impressive features like comfort control and braking efficiency during dry & snowy conditions. It scored remarkably well in several other tests due to consistent performance across diverse weather conditions and overall dynamic handling. However, its performance in curve aquaplaning was average.
Reflecting on the results from mutual test positions, in Autobild’s test, Bridgestone outperformed GoodYear by achieving first place while GoodYear landed in 6th place. Moreover, in tests conducted by SportAuto and AlVolante, Bridgestone secured 3rd place, ahead of GoodYear’s 5th place positions. In a test by ACE, both tyres tied at third position. While Bridgestone's considerable comfort level and braking efficiency cast a mark, GoodYear didn’t fall behind and exhibited its strengths in longitudinal aquaplaning and dry handling.
In conclusion, both tyres have their distinctive strengths with minor weaknesses. While Goodyear Vector is proven for its all-round high potential and dry handling, there may be some concern about its longevity and increased pass-by noise. Bridgestone on the other hand, has shown robust all-season performance with good aquaplaning reserves, agile & secure handling, and short dry/wet braking distances, although the price is on the higher side compared to its counterparts. A choice between these two excellent tyres ultimately depends on a balance between cost and performance priorities.
