Looking at detailed comparison of the Nokian WeatherProof and the Goodyear Vector 4Seasons Gen-2 all-round tyres, it's apparent that both manifest strengths and weaknesses under different conditions, but overall, they offer a good performance.

The Finnish-made Nokian WeatherProof tyre, boasting an overall rating of 59%, has displayed impressive performance in snow braking, snow traction, and aquaplaning, as shown in numerous tests like ADAC and ACE. However, there are remarks about noise level and poor performance on dry roads, which can be an issue for some drivers.

Meanwhile, succeeding its predecessor, Goodyear Vector 4Seasons, the Goodyear Vector 4Seasons Gen-2, holding an overall rating of 65%, brings to the table improved performance on wet surfaces and low wear. On the downside, it was noted by the ADAC 2020 test that the tyre experiences some challenges on snow-covered and dry surface.

In mutual positions across various tests, the Nokian WeatherProof often scored higher, especially in the ACE and Autoexpress tests where it placed first. However, the Vector 4Seasons Gen-2 has been a top finisher in the Autobild and Gute-Fahrt tests and even topped Nokian on Autoklub ČR and AutoMotorSport tests.

Given the data, both tyres seem like reliable all-round options. Ultimately, which one to choose depends on drivers' individual preferences and expected driving conditions. Do you prioritize noise comfort and dry road performance? Or is low wear and wet surface performance a bigger factor for you?

Also, bear in mind that the Goodyear Vector 4Seasons Gen-2 was replaced by the newer model, GoodYear Vector 4Seasons Gen-3. Therefore, if the performance traits of the Gen-2 resonated with you, it may be worth checking out the upgraded model for potentially even better results.

No matter the choice, you can be confident in the manufacturers' track records: both Nokian and Goodyear have earned their positions in the upper tiers of the tyre world.

To delve into the specifics of the tyres and to see how they stand up against a slew of other competitors, don't hesitate to sift through our tyre tests further.
