Tyres: Vredestein Quatrac 3 <> Goodyear Vector 4Seasons I have driven around 6,000 km on Vredestein Quatrac 3 tyres in a Peugeot 206 front drive and around 60,000 km on Goodyear Vector 4Seasons. My comments on the Vredestein Quatrac 3 compared with the Goodyear Vector 4Seasons - Vredestein tyre compound: softer, more flexible - the tyre has the symptom of riding on "jelly beans" (a little too flexible); this causes instability on acceleration and at speeds above 80 km/h (temperatures above 25 degrees Celsius), the car drifts to the left or right (it drives to the side, which decreases safety); however on potholes, the damping of bumps is slightly better than GoodYear's because of the higher elasticity; - the tyre parameters describe lower rolling noise (approx. 68dB) compared to GoodYear (71 dB): my experience shows that the Vredestein makes more noise due to the cross sipes - there is an irritating rattle (the tyres act a bit like a resonance box e.g. in a guitar - you can hear the noise amplification through the walls of the tyre filled with air / nitrogen); it is a bit like driving a tractor - in GoodYear this was not the case (V shaped tread) - rolling resistance of the Vredestein Quatrac 3 is noticeably higher compared with the Goodyear Vector 4Seasons (the car drives slower - for top speed, it accelerates slower); I would put the petrol consumption at about 0.5 litres/100 km) - the water evacuation from under the wheels on the Vredestein Quatrac 3 is worse (less efficient / less effective) than on the Goodyear Vector 4Seasons. Many users rate these tyres as slightly better than GoodYear, but my experience shows that the Goodyear Vector 4Seasons is the better tyre (particularly in terms of ride comfort).

Goodyear Vector 4Seasons - I've used them for about 60,000 km in summer (above 32°C) and winter (cold, snow and ice) - they perform very well; compared to Pirelli (summer) and Barum (winter) they give a great improvement in ride quality and comfort; very soft on bumps - great damping on uneven surfaces, very good rolling comfort - the car drives like a limousine; I didn't suspect that the quality of the tyre was so important; Rolling noise - noticeably less than previous tyres - these Goodyears are quiet; you can hear the rolling noise - not the noise of the cross sipes - the V shaped tread is angled which makes it quiet; the disadvantage of the V shaped tread is poor drift during hard turns at high speed; the tyres grip the road very well - hard braking - the car stops almost 'on the spot'. (I had to do emergency braking 3 times). I recommend this excellent product. I will now try to put Vredestein Quatrac 3 tyres on the front wheels (drive) as they have the same labels: "E" and "C" (braking) and a similar volume of 68/69 dB - but a different tread shape - on the front axle they shouldn't bear down on sharp turns. Practice - will show what these tyres are worth. I'll leave the Goodyear Vectors on the rear axle.

It was decided from the start that I wanted all-season tyres - the only problem was choosing the right ones. I was only interested in the premium segment, and I consider my purchase a success. I haven't had winter tyres on my car before, so I can't compare it to them, but I can compare it to summer tyres, and here the difference in favour of the all-season tyres is colossal. The snowy hills that I couldn't drive up are no problem now. We'll see how they wear over time.

I red loads off opinions before I bought them and I can say it was really good decision. Great performance, not loud as for all season tyres, good grip, and most important one: they last forever, they are not used much. I think I won't need to change them for next 5-6 years. Brilliant

For me these are the tires cool. I made the correct choice, of which I am very happy. Tires year-round, hence their other advantages or disadvantages will know in the winter, but I'm sure they will not disappoint. Calmly recommend to other drivers. Yours.

For an X Trail that's used outside of towns where the roads can be bumpy, sometimes muddy and, in winter, never see a gritting lorry these are fabulous all year round choice. Outstanding tyres.

I do not have those tires any objections. There was no opportunity to check their winter. The car runs well, turns defeats without side slipping, no problems when braking. I would recommend.

The tire with excellent driving performance (adhesion, running). Sensationally carried out on the corners. It does very well in the rain. I drove to her about 3000km. I would recommend.

Tire cool throughout the year. I stopped to believe in summer tires. I use these tires in the spring season autumn and winter in the city. Any problems to slide or the inhibition of
