Goodyear Vector 4seasons Gen-3 achieves top rating in latest ADAC test

Goodyear’s Vector 4Seasons Gen-3 tire has achieved a coveted “Good” rating and shared 1^st place in the latest all-season tires test by ADAC (Allgemeiner Deutscher Automobil-Club) [1], the largest automative association in Europe.

Previously, in 2024, Vector 4Seasons Gen-3 was the first all-season tire ever to receive the “Good” ADAC rating. [2]

The new test results highlight the tire’s well-balanced performance, reinforcing the value of innovative Goodyear technologies and outlining why the tire is a top choice for consumers and business fleets.

Highest Mileage and Environmental Balance

The Vector 4Seasons Gen-3 stood out as the best tire for mileage in the ADAC test. It lasted an estimated 68,000 km before tread wear. It also impressed with its outstanding environmental balance and was praised for its “very low abrasion, low weight and low fuel consumption”. [3]

The tire’s longevity and efficiency help ensure direct savings and lower cost of ownership, making the tire a smart investment for private drivers and fleet operators.

Excellent Performance in All Conditions

The test result underlines the well-balanced performance of the Vector 4Seaons Gen-3, which is a direct result of Goodyear’s innovative tire technologies. These include:

• Aqua Control Technology: Deep and wide grooves enhance water dispersion and offer outstanding handling on wet roads.
• Dry Handling Technology: Reinforced crown and shoulder blocks reduce tire deformation during heavy maneuvers and deliver convincing dry braking.
• Snow Grip Technology: Numerous sipes at the tire’s center provide outstanding grip and handling in wintry conditions.

A Smart Choice for Every Driver

“The Goodyear Vector 4Seasons Gen-3’s well balanced performance and leading mileage delivers exceptional value for consumers and fleets,” said Ben Glesener, Senior Director, Technology Consumer, EMEA, Goodyear. “This recognition from ADAC underscores our commitment to provide cost-effective tires with high performance for all-season driving.”
