Bridgestone Turanza All Season 6 vs Goodyear Vector 4Seasons Gen 3
Bridgestone builds its case on class-leading stopping power in the dry and wet and very strong straight-line aquaplaning resistance. Goodyear counters with superior winter traction and control, better comfort and noise, and generally lower energy use and wear in several major tests (notably ADAC). The result is a clear split: Bridgestone for safety-critical braking and summer-leaning balance, Goodyear for winter security and long-term running economy.

Real World Driver Reviews
Bridgestone Turanza All Season 6 Driver Reviews
Drivers generally describe the Bridgestone Turanza All Season 6 as a confidence-inspiring all-season tyre with strong wet performance (including good aquaplaning resistance) and very capable dry grip that can feel close to a summer tyre. Comfort and refinement are frequently praised, with many finding it quiet and plush for daily touring, alongside solid tread life expectations. A recurring minority drawback is a numb/soft steering feel that reduces "fun" and feedback, with some also noting slightly higher rolling resistance/fuel use and occasional motorway-speed harshness or noise.
Based on 30 reviews with an average rating of 80%
Goodyear Vector 4Seasons Gen 3 Driver Reviews
Across most reviews, the Goodyear Vector 4Seasons Gen 3 is described as a highly capable all-round tyre with standout wet-road security (strong grip, wet braking, and aquaplaning resistance) and confidence in cold conditions including snow for an all-season. Many drivers also report very good longevity/wear and a generally quiet, comfortable ride. The most repeated drawbacks are a softer, less precise steering/feedback feel and slightly weaker dry braking/traction when pushed in warm or hot conditions compared with dedicated summer tyres.

Conclusion
Value splits too. ADAC shows Goodyear with far higher projected mileage (+44%) and better overall efficiency, while other tests cite Bridgestone as strong value when purchase price is considered. If your driving includes frequent heavy rain and you prioritise the shortest possible stops, Bridgestone is the safer bet. If you face regular snow/ice and want quieter, comfier, longer-lasting tyres with good balance, pick Goodyear. The practical takeaway: choose Bridgestone for braking-led safety year-round in milder winters; choose Goodyear for winter-biased climates and lower total cost of ownership.
Key Differences
- Braking: Bridgestone stops shorter in both dry and wet by meaningful margins in most tests; Goodyear's wet stops can be a full car length longer.
- Winter: Goodyear leads snow/ice braking and traction; Bridgestone is adequate but often last among top rivals on snow.
- Handling balance: Goodyear more agile and composed at the limit; Bridgestone a touch slower to react but secure.
- Aquaplaning: Bridgestone usually wins straight-line; Goodyear sometimes stronger in curved aquaplaning.
- Comfort/noise: Goodyear is generally quieter and more comfortable; Bridgestone can be louder and firmer.
- Running costs: Goodyear often delivers higher mileage and lower abrasion; Bridgestone sometimes shows higher rolling resistance but can offer better upfront value.

Footnote
This page has been developed using tyre industry testing best practices. This means we are only comparing tests which have had both tyres in the same test.
Why is this important? Tyre testing is heavily affected by things like surface grip levels and surface temperature, which means you can only compare values from the same day. During a tyre test external condition changes are calculated into the overall results, but it is not possible to calculate this between tyre tests performed on different days or at different locations.
As a result you will see other tests on Tyre Reviews which feature both the %s and %s, but as they weren't conducted on the same day, the results are not comparable.
Lots of other websites do this sort of tyre comparison, Tyre Reviews doesn't.
