Bridgestone Turanza All Season 6 vs Goodyear Vector All Season 4
The interesting part is that the Bridgestone isn't uniformly “bad” in any single safety metric-there are a couple of aquaplaning and dry-braking bright spots-but the Goodyear is simply stronger in the areas that define real-world all-season confidence: wet grip, winter traction, and efficiency. The result is a tyre choice that depends less on fine preferences and more on whether you want the most complete all-weather performance or you're willing to accept clear compromises.
Test Results
Independent comparison tyre tests are the best source of data to get tyre information from, and the good news is there have been two tests which compare both tyres directly!
| Tyre | Test Wins | Performance |
|---|---|---|
| Goodyear Vector All Season 4 | two |
While it might look like the Goodyear Vector All Season 4 is better than the Bridgestone Turanza All Season 6 purely based on the higher number of test wins, tyres are very complicated objects which means where one tyre is better than the other can be more important in real world use.
Let's look at how the two tyres compare across multiple tyre test categories.
Key Strengths
- Marginal dry-braking edge in AutoBild (37.6 m vs 37.9 m)
- Competitive straight-line aquaplaning in AutoBild (87.9 km/h, effectively level with Goodyear)
- Generally workable dry performance (mid-pack dry braking; not a standout weakness)
- Touring-oriented character (positioned as premium touring all-season; likely aimed at comfort-focused users, though this dataset doesn't show a noise advantage)
- Stronger wet braking across both datasets (e.g., 51.1 m vs 53.0 m; 35.0 m vs 36.61 m)
- Major advantage on low-grip wet braking in TÜV (45 m vs 52.57 m)
- Best-in-comparison winter capability in shared results (better snow braking/traction/handling; +7.6% traction in AutoBild)
- Better efficiency in both tests via lower rolling resistance (7.61 vs 8.88 kg/t; 7.5 vs 8.44 kg/t)

Conclusion
The Bridgestone Turanza All Season 6's case rests on small, situational wins: slightly shorter dry braking in AutoBild (37.6 m vs 37.9 m) and a near-tie/slight edge in straight-line aquaplaning in AutoBild (87.9 vs 87.8 km/h). However, these are marginal advantages compared with its repeated deficits in wet performance, snow performance, rolling resistance (8.88 vs 7.61 kg/t in AutoBild; 8.44 vs 7.5 kg/t in TÜV), and even noise (65.6 vs 64.6 dB in AutoBild). Practical takeaway: if you want a true “fit-and-forget” all-season with minimal weaknesses, the Goodyear is the obvious pick; the Bridgestone feels more like a compromise option in this head-to-head, especially for mixed-weather regions and efficiency-minded drivers.
Key Differences
- Overall competitiveness: Goodyear ranks 1st vs Bridgestone 5th in both shared tests, indicating a consistent performance gap rather than a one-off result
- Wet safety margin: Goodyear stops shorter in wet braking in both tests (AutoBild: 51.1 m vs 53.0 m; TÜV: 35.0 m vs 36.61 m)
- Low-grip wet performance: TÜV shows a very large Goodyear advantage (45 m vs 52.57 m), a meaningful difference for real-world emergency stops
- Snow capability: Goodyear is clearly superior in traction and control (AutoBild snow traction: 2310 N vs 2147 N; TÜV snow handling: 80 s vs 86.11 s)
- Efficiency: Goodyear has materially lower rolling resistance in both datasets (AutoBild: 7.61 vs 8.88 kg/t; TÜV: 7.5 vs 8.44 kg/t), implying better fuel/energy consumption
- Dry performance nuance: Bridgestone only nicks dry braking in one test, while Goodyear is consistently better in dry handling (AutoBild: 99.8 vs 99.1 km/h; TÜV: 80 s vs 82.73 s)

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.
