Looking at the details of each tyre, the GoodYear Vector 4Seasons Gen-3 and the Firestone Multiseason 2, results from several tests point towards the GoodYear model as the superior tyre overall. Both tyres have their own strengths tailored to specific road conditions and personal preferences.

According to GoodYear's information, the Vector 4Seasons Gen-3 has a rating of 86%, while the Firestone's Multiseason 2 has a 60% rating on our website. In terms of previous models, the Vector 4Seasons Gen-3 is a progression from the Gen-2 and the original Vector 4Seasons.

Looking at the tests comparisons, in the AUTOBILD and ADAC tests, the GoodYear tyre consistently places higher, in positions 6 and 1 respectively. The Firestone tyre does not perform as well, coming in at position 22 in the AUTOBILD test and 8 in the ADAC test.

Test summaries highlight the GoodYear Vector 4Seasons Gen-3 for its "sichere Eigenschaften auf nasser Fahrbahn, sichere Eigenschaften auf winterlicher Fahrbahn, hohe prognostizierte Laufleistung, geringes Gewicht und niedriger Kraftstoffverbrauch" (safe characteristics on wet and winter roads, high predicted mileage, low weight and low fuel consumption). It does however show slight weaknesses on dry roads.

On the other hand, the Firestone Multiseason 2 is commended for its low weight and fuel consumption but falls behind in terms of performance on dry and wet roads, and in winter conditions. It only offers satisfactory predicted mileage and wear.

In terms of specific features, the GoodYear tyre stands out in comfort, dry handling, and wet handling according to reviews, while the Firestone focuses on price value and snow traction. The GoodYear tyre shows balanced performance across both dry and wet conditions, including snow, and offers the best comfort on test with low rolling resistance. Firestone's tyre, while excelling in wet handling lap and snow tests, falls behind in dry braking and comfort.

In conclusion, if comfort, wet/dry handling and mileage are important to you, the GoodYear Vector 4Seasons Gen-3 tyre is your best bet. However, if your conditions involve more snow traction reliability and you are more money-conscious, consider the Firestone Multiseason 2.
