2026 Auto Bild All Season Tire Test P1 of 15

The Goodyear Vector All Season 4 is the overall test winner and one of only three tires rated exemplary. It has no real weak area on snow, wet or dry roads, which is what separates it from the tires that won individual tests, and its only shortfall is middling tread life.

Strong: Dry Handling, Snow Traction

The Goodyear is the better tire in the dry and wet, which I believe is more important. The Crossclimate 3 has the edge in snow so it depends on your priority.

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.

A very good experience so far, most notably on the motorway where they are quiet and absorb imperfections very well. I’ve driven them in the VERY wet and they are also very confidence inspiring in these conditions too. In the dry they are good but maybe lack a small amount of feedback when compared to a summer tire. Snow and ice haven’t been here yet but looking at other reviews they are top notch in this segment! And purely in the aesthetics department, they have a very nice tread pattern and with some shine on the sidewalls they are very attractive too.

At first, I wanted to buy the Conti Allseason 2, and then the seller suggested I try the new Goodyear. So far, I haven't regretted it one bit! The tire drives comfortably and provides a lot of confidence on both wet and dry roads.

I would describe the driving behavior as very forgiving, precise, and comfortable. The tire is rather soft in character and well-balanced. On the highway, it feels particularly at home, filtering out bumps and grooves excellently. From my first driving impression (350KM), I conclude that this is a long-distance capable and comfort-oriented tire... Best regards and safe travels! :-)
