This comparison will help you decide which one best suits your driving needs based on tests and reviews from reputable sources like Autobild, Tyre Reviews, Autoklub ČR, and ARBÖ.
GoodYear Vector 4Seasons Gen-3
The GoodYear Vector 4Seasons Gen-3 is the latest in a line of well-received tyres. It ranks 4th in the Autobild test out of 32 tyres, and 3rd in the Autoklub ČR test out of 10. Features that consistently score high include snow cornering, wet and dry handling, and rolling resistance. The "präzises Einlenkverhalten" is another feature many testers appreciated. Despite these strengths, some reviewers noted that the tyre has lower snow traction and longer dry braking distances than some of its competitors.
Overall, our rating for the GoodYear Vector 4Seasons Gen-3 is 86%. It's a high-performing all-round tyre that stands out particularly in wet conditions and snow handling. Its balanced performance and dynamic driving qualities under all weather conditions make it a reliable choice, even if it presents some weaknesses when it comes to dry braking.
Continental AllSeasonContact
The Continental AllSeasonContact is another competitive all-round tyre. It ranked 8th in the Autobild test but scored an impressive second place in the Autoklub ČR and ARBÖ tests. Its highest-scoring features include wet circle cornering, snow braking, and comfort. However, some testers did observe high internal noise levels and extended dry braking.
Our overall rating for the Continental AllSeasonContact is 77%. It's an all-rounder with notable strength in winter conditions and wet handling thanks to its "stabiles Nasshandling". Yet, it faces some drawbacks in dry performance and noise levels.
Verdict
The GoodYear Vector 4Seasons Gen-3 and the Continental AllSeasonContact are both strong all-season tyres, yet they excel in different areas. The GoodYear Vector 4Seasons Gen-3 is notable for its wet handling and snow performance, making it a great option for drivers in rainy and snowy regions. On the other hand, the Continental AllSeasonContact shines through with its comfort and specific winter features, hence better for those seeking a comfortable ride and living areas with harsh winters. Both tyres present some downsides in terms of dry braking, which is worth considering when making your final decision.
