When comparing tyres, several key factors must be considered including performance, durability, handling in various weather conditions, and overall value for money. In this case, we have compared the Yokohama BluEarth-4S AW21 and the Goodyear Vector 4Seasons Gen-3 tyres to help consumers make a more informed decision.
The Yokohama BluEarth-4S AW21 tyre, produced by Yokohama, is an allround tyre receiving a rating of 31% on our site. The greatest strength of Yokohama's product is its good braking performance on snow. However, data from various tests highlight substantial weaknesses on dry and wet roads. Additionally, the tyre has shortcomings on winter roads and has been cited for having a high weight, low projected lifespan, and significant wear.
On the other hand, the Goodyear Vector 4Seasons Gen-3, a product of Goodyear, has considerably higher ratings, scoring 86%. The tyre, hailing from either Slovenia or France, showcases far superior overall performance. Particularly, it demonstrates secure traits on both wet and winter roads in addition to a high forecasted lifespan.
Test results from sources such as ADAC and Autobild underline this performance disparity. Yokohama stands at the 14th position in ADAC's test out of 16 examined, while Goodyear claims the top spot. Similarly, in Autobild's comparison, Yokohama ranks 23rd out of 32, and Goodyear lies at a commendable 4th place.
The tests have highlighted Goodyear's high mileage, low exterior noise, excellent rolling resistance, dry handling, snow braking, and snow traction as its greatest strengths. By comparison, the weaknesses, as perceived in Autobild's tests, relate to minor inadequacies with dry road handling.
In conclusion, the Goodyear tyre outperforms Yokohama in majority of the aspects making it the preferred choice between the two, considering both performance and value. However, the motorists' specific needs and driving conditions should always be accounted for when deciding which tyre suits best.
