Data updated

Which should you buy?

Choose the Goodyear Vector All Season 4 if you want the best all-round all-season performance-especially for wet grip, confident handling, snow traction and lower running costs. Choose the Bridgestone Turanza All Season 6 if your top priority is consistently shortest dry braking (and often strong straight-line aquaplaning), and your driving is mainly wet/dry with only occasional light snow where ultimate winter traction and handling sharpness matter less.

Where the Turanza All Season 6 is stronger

  • Consistently shorter dry braking distances (won 5/6 dry-braking comparisons; e.g., 36.5 m vs 37.9 m in Auto Bild's 30-tire braking test)
  • Often strong straight-line aquaplaning resistance (won 4/5 straight-aqua comparisons where reported)
  • Generally secure, “polished road tire” feel with good balance and damped reactions noted in group testing

Where the Vector All Season 4 is stronger

  • Best overall all-season balance in these shared tests (5/6 overall wins; multiple test-winner/exemplary outcomes)
  • Stronger wet performance (won 5/6 wet-braking comparisons; also leads wet handling/wet circle across most tests)
  • Clearly better winter capability in this matchup, especially snow traction (won 5/5) and snow handling (won 4/4 where reported)

Wins count every measurement the shared tests recorded for both tires; a tick marks the tire ahead on that line. Subjective driver scores count as wins but are never averaged, because each test uses its own scale.

Head to head in 7 tests in 2026

Each row is one published test in which both tires ran on the same car, in the same size, on the same day. The line is the whole field, winner on the left.

Point at or tap any spoke for both tires' figures.

In each test the better of the two figures counts as 100% and the other as its share of it, so a 118 ft stop against 112 ft is 95%; each spoke averages the shared tests that recorded it. 4 measurements recorded in only one shared test are left off; every measurement is in the table further down.

Every measurement, side by side

Averages of the figures both tires posted in the same tests. The gap is the average of each test's own gap, so figures from different cars and years are never mixed. Open a discipline for its measurements, and a measurement for every test's figure.

Braking distances and lap times are better when lower; speeds, wear and grip figures when higher. A test's figures are its own: sizes, cars, surfaces and temperatures differ from one to the next, which is why the averages here are only ever of tests the two tires shared. "Scored" rows are subjective driver ratings: each test uses its own scale, so only the wins are counted.

Scores beyond the shared tests

On the Tire Reviews Score, which weighs every test and review we hold, the Turanza All Season 6 scores 9.4 and the Vector All Season 4 9.7 out of 10.

Bridgestone Turanza All Season 6

  • 79%from 44 reviews
  • 76%would buy again
  • 393,509 milesdriven by reviewers

Owners broadly rate the Bridgestone Turanza All Season 6 as a very safe, summer-leaning all-season tire, with a clear consensus around strong wet grip (mentioned by over half of reviewers) and similarly impressive dry grip. Snow traction is generally described as capable for occasional winter use, and around a third of owners also report encouraging tread life. The main drawbacks are feel and efficiency: around one in four owners complain of numb steering feedback and a similar share report higher rolling resistance/fuel consumption, while road noise is divisive with near-even praise and criticism.

  • Very strong wet grip and confidence in heavy rain
  • High dry grip that feels close to a summer tire
  • Capable snow traction for light to moderate winter conditions
  • Good tread life for year-round use
  • Numb steering feel and limited feedback near the limit
  • Higher rolling resistance and a noticeable fuel economy hit for some
  • Road noise can be intrusive on certain surfaces, despite others finding it quiet

Summarised by AI from 43 vetted reviews; the reviews themselves are on the tire page.

Now nearly 2 years and 20k miles in. These tires are still as good as they were new and tread has only dropped to 5-6mm all round, suggesting >40,000 miles a set which is more than the OE Pirelli P7 summer tires managed. Have experienced winter slush and light snow without any grip issues, when the car felt stable and safe, but as I live on the south coast with regular trips to family in Yorkshire, they don’t need to be a dedicated winter tire. Economy unchanged around 45mpg overall, 50mpg on a motorway run. For my use, these have been very impressive and I would be happy to replace them with another set, although there may be even better choices in 3 years when these should be just about done.

I just got them on a Tesla model 3.
Consumption went up by 10-15wh/m but still very good. After 500 miles on motor way and city driving my average is at 195 wh/m. I'm a very efficient driver. The tires are more comfortable than my summer set but way too noisy for my liking.
My old Hankook Ion Evo were down to 2mm and gave me 180-186wh/m.
All this in 20C degree in the UK.
Haven't tried them on snow or ice. There was a heavy shower the other day and on purpose I went through a deep puddle on dual carriage wa with 50 mph and there was no aquaplaning at all.
The only reason I won't get them again is noise as I drive around 40k miles a year.

Reading the results

Written from the test results and owner reviews above. It is analysis, not a measurement: where it and the tables disagree, the tables are right.

This is a head-to-head between two premium-touring all-season tires that aim to cover the whole year without feeling like a compromise: the Bridgestone Turanza All Season 6 (a familiar test regular) and the new Goodyear Vector All Season 4 (the latest replacement for the Vector 4Seasons Gen-3). Across six shared tests in multiple sizes-including a large 30-tire braking qualifier and several multi-discipline group tests-the pattern is unusually consistent: Bridgestone tends to win the “stop short” metrics on dry roads, while Goodyear tends to win the “go fast and stay controlled” metrics in wet and winter conditions.

The result is a comparison of two different priorities. If your all-season life is dominated by motorway miles, frequent dry braking events and standing-water security, the Bridgestone's repeated dry-braking and straight-line aquaplaning advantages matter. If you want the most rounded single-set solution-especially where wet grip, snow traction, handling confidence and running costs are concerned-the Goodyear's dominance in overall placings (5 wins from 6 shared tests) is hard to ignore.

Conclusion

Across the shared tests, the Goodyear Vector All Season 4 is the more complete all-season tire. It wins 5 of 6 shared overall results and repeatedly leads the dynamic categories: dry handling (e.g., 114.9 vs 111.7 km/h in Auto Bild Allrad), wet braking (e.g., 52.2 vs 54.6 m), wet handling and wet circle, plus a clear winter advantage in snow traction (e.g., 4044 N vs 3709 N) and snow handling/slalom. Just as importantly for daily ownership, it consistently posts lower rolling resistance (often by ~11-14%), which typically translates to lower fuel/energy use over time.

The Bridgestone Turanza All Season 6's main “real” edge is braking bite-especially on dry asphalt. It wins dry braking in 5 of the 6 shared tests (for example, 36.5 m vs 37.9 m in the 30-tire 2026 braking test), and it is frequently strong in straight-line aquaplaning (winning 4 of 5 reported straight-aqua results). However, where the Goodyear pulls away is overall pace and control: multiple reports note the Bridgestone giving away time in handling (wet and dry) and being comparatively weak on snow metrics, while also suffering higher rolling resistance and, in some tests, higher noise and less refinement.

Practical takeaway: if you want one all-season tire that behaves “most like a great tire in every season,” the Goodyear is the safer, more versatile bet. The Bridgestone makes sense when your priority is shortest dry stops and good straight-aquaplaning margins, and you're willing to accept that it's not the sharpest, most efficient, or most snow-capable option in this specific matchup.

Where this data comes from

Finishing positions and measurements are transcribed from each published test. A test only counts here when both tires ran in it, so every figure was recorded on the same car, size and day as the one it is compared to.

About the TR Score

The Tire Reviews Score rates each tire out of 10 from every independent test result and vetted owner review we hold, so two tires can be compared even before a test has run them together.

Who does the testing

Every test published as a Tire Reviews test is run by Jonathan Benson, who has been testing tires independently since 2007.
