Comparing two of the top all-round tyres in the market, the Pirelli Cinturato All Season SF3 and the GoodYear Vector 4Seasons Gen-3, our analysis indicates both have their strengths and are superior in various tests.
The Pirelli Cinturato All Season SF3, an upgrade from the previous Pirelli Cinturato All Season SF2 model, boasts a strong overall performance that reflects its 96% rating. It secured 1st positions in tests by Autobild and A VOLANTE, showing its strong performance across different conditions. The tyre particularly excelled in Aquaplaning (both in longitudal and cross), Comfort, Dry braking, Dry handling, Snow traction, Wet braking, and Wet handling.
Conversely, the GoodYear Vector 4Seasons Gen-3 gained a respectable 86% rating, demonstrating its well-rounded competencies. Made in both Slovenia and France, it's the latest in a lineage of all-round tyres that includes Goodyear Vector 4Seasons and Goodyear Vector 4Seasons Gen-2. The tyre's strengths lie mainly in Snow traction, Snow cornering, Wet handling, Wet circle cornering and Wet braking. However, it did not perform as well as the Pirelli Cinturato All Season SF3 in the same tests, achieving positions of 3rd in Autobild and 5th in A VOLANTE's tests.
In AUTOBILD's extensive 37-tyre test, the Pirelli Cinturato All Season SF3 came second, with particular praise for its capabilities in Aquaplaning (both in longitudal and lateral), Comfort, Dry braking, and Wet handling. The GoodYear Vector 4Seasons Gen-3 came in at 6th position, reflecting its slightly lesser overall performance compared to its Pirelli counterpart.
When it comes to Autobild 2024's detailed commentary, the Pirelli tyre was celebrated for its convincing driving properties in all weather conditions, handling dynamics, direct steering response, and exemplary aquaplaning properties. The GoodYear tyre, on the other hand, was credited for its agile driving qualities under all weather conditions, excellent snow traction, precise steering behavior, and a reasonable price level.
In conclusion, while both tyres demonstrate excellent all-round characteristics, suitable for varying weather conditions, the Pirelli Cinturato All Season SF3 consistently outperforms the GoodYear Vector 4Seasons Gen-3 in most tests, indicating it may be the superior option for many drivers.
