The Goodyear Vector 4Seasons Gen-3 has achieved a significant milestone, becoming the first all-season tyre to be awarded a ‘Good’ rating in the renowned Allgemeiner Deutscher Automobil-Club (Adac) all-season tyre test.
Published this week, the test by Europe’s largest automobile association, Adac (alongside its Austrian and Swiss counterparts ÖAMTC and TCS), evaluated 16 all-season tyres across various safety and environmental aspects.
Tests were conducted on a Volkswagen Golf with the popular 205/55 R16 fitment, assessing performance in snow, wet and dry conditions. The Goodyear tyre impressed the Adac testers with its well-balanced performance, with no significant weaknesses identified in any area. It particularly excelled in wet and wintery road conditions.
Furthermore, the Vector 4Seasons Gen-3 emerged victorious in terms of environmental performance. A combination of high efficiency, low wear and an outstanding predicted mileage of 67 000 km (45.6% more than the test’s worst performer) secured its win.
Commenting on this achievement, Ben Glesener, regional technology director, Goodyear EMEA, said: “Goodyear’s continued success in prestigious tests like this is a testament to our ongoing development of pioneering technology. We are especially proud that the Vector 4Seasons Gen-3 is the first all-season tyre to receive Adac’s ‘Good’ rating, highlighting its exceptional capabilities across various weather conditions, along with its impressive mileage.”
