Excellent all season tyre

These have been a great tyre. Still have life left but having to change as NSF has worn down due to alignment. They've taken me throughout Europe and all over Switzerland in the snow, no issues with grip whatsoever. I even slid into a curb, mangling the Alloy but no damage to tyre at all. I've hit pot holes that would have destroyed a summer tyre (from experience with Dunlop SportMaxx), but these has been perfect and survived without issue.
Would fit again if the price hadn't gone up £100+ per tyre.

In comparison to the original Michelin Pilot Sport and Dunlop Sport Maxx it's had, there is definitely less wet and dry grip but that was expect being an all season but not to a detrimental level.

Noice wise, in Europe these are pretty much silent on the motorway. In the UK: M25 it's unbearable (due to road surface). General M6, M4 not really an issue.

Wear has been 27,000 over 2 years, could keep the 3 going for another few thousand miles if I wanted as they're at about 3mm but the alignment of my wheels has taken the one down to 2mm.

Changed to these tyres when my last tyres (Continental ecocontact 3 tyres) had completed no more than 4500 miles, as they were purely a Summer tyre & did not really inspire confidence in the wet. Was also somewhat concerned about how they would perform in more wintery conditions.

The tyres seem to struggle with the weight of the car. Sloppy handling in curves and massive vibrations on highways. I increased the pressure to the max. as indicated in the manual. This made it bearable. Not much comfort provided by the tyres.

They did last extremely long on the car; 85.000 KM.

This generation 2 vector 4 seasons tyre seems to be compromised in too many areas.
Wet traction is especially poor leaving the car scrambling for grip under acceleration in wet conditions.
Comfort is poor with harsh ride and noise. Doesn’t help that they collect numerous small stones in the tread blocks.
Snow traction is adequate in fresh snow.
Traction on compacted snow is less than ideal but better than a summer tyre.
Wear rate is low. I can’t wait to wear them out so that I can justify replacing them.

Advertised as a 4 season tire, but doesn't work for summer weather. Tires are all chopped up, I guess from the very hot asphalt during the summer season.

This is an end of life review for the fronts 2.5mm but the rears have a bit more life left 5mm if the crazing does not get worse. Noisy Poor ride and on the front the Polish make tyres started to delaminate the tread. I will changed those early, at the rear the Polish ones stood up well apart from a puncture that could not be repaired, and the Turkish replacement has started to craze on the side wall next to the rim. Always had correct pressures so no excuse! My car Toyota Prius PHV has seen off the fronts too easily even though I keep the drive in eco mode it still spins up the Goodyears easily. I won't be using these again. I see Hankook has a new iON range, those next if they test well.

These tyres replaced Goodyear Efficient Grip Performance tyres just before the wintery weather arrived in central Scotland. In normal conditions they felt similar to the Summer tyre, but in the recent snow and ice these really came into their own on wife’s car for her late night home support work in the hilly area around us. Vastly different from last winter on the summer tyres.

Bought these as looking for a good all season tyre. I used to have a RAV4 with Town Country tyres on that was unstoppable. As you can no longer get them any more, decided to go to all season on my Vitara . Very disappointed. 2 winters now and I have found the car slipping in both on snow. Tread on the tyres is very shallow. Think I'll be changing them for AT next time as these appear to have the same 50:50 mix as old town and country tyres. Wouldn't buy again.

Got these tyres to get more into snow driving as I started snowboarding, before I had many summer tyres, from dunlop, pirelli pzeros, conti... all usually lasted me about 15.000 to 25.000kms, I usually drive sporty so wear is spected, since I changed to the vectors the sporty its kinda woobly in a sense the car feels a bit floaty on dry, good on wet and excelent on snow, Ive driven up to the ski resort before on my audi with summer tyres and the ESP turned off spinning the wheels a lot but got me through while some people where putting on chains, witch the vector spinning has come to a second place and mostly hard driving on heavy snowfalls but mostly ice, Ive found that wet snow and ice are worst for these and thats when I think a pure winter tyre might excel over the vector, but for me almost 45000kms on the gen2s (sun, rain, hot weather and long highway travels as well as small gravel roads, mountain passes and even rock and gravel mountain farm access) and got them on december 10th 2019, still decent and tested them two weeks ago with snow and ice and still felt ok, might change them this december again for heavy snows and might get the GEN3's

I have had a set of these on my car since November 2017. Living in the southeast of England we have not had much snow since then and I have no real experience of performance in that kind of weather. However, they have been excellent tyres generally in warm and cold weather and I have done 31,000 miles on them - changing over once from back to front. These are the best wearing tyres I have ever had.

Doesn't match a summer tyre in the dry and feels a bit wooly when warm but incredible on wet, greasy roads and when the weather is colder. Lots of grip and feedback in the rain. Braking isn't the best again but good enough. I and I live in the Midlands in the UK and when we had some heavy snow last winter I was able to drive up and down steep hills and corner with confidence while others were sliding around.

After having driven pure Summer (Bridgestone Turanza ER300) and Winter (Continental WinterContact TS 850) tyres I decided to try an All Season tyre and wow what a surprise! The Vector 4 Seasons Gen 2 is the best tyre in the wet I've ever driven! Also Comfort is much better than the summer tyre and snow grip is on a similar level with the winter tyre. Only in dry conditions it lacks feedback and overall grip to the summer tyre. Apart from that, best of the 2 worlds! I'd expect around 25k miles / 40k km

Excellent in all seasons.

Had these on my BMW 1 series for winter 2019 to 2020 on the front as my summer tyres were breaking traction at temps around zero on damp roads at relatively low speeds on the front. The handling transformed, I could drive the car as hard all over winter as I could in summer. It was a mild winter with little in the way of frosts and I don't remember there being any snow. Once the weather warmed up I put the summer tyres back on, I never changed the rears as the traction control and the Hankook Ventus Prime 3's had the back end covered well enough. The Kumho Ecsta's I had on the fronts were out of control on the rear before and not good enough for the front either. I had some spare wheels so swapping over was easy. I will do another review later but had to have just one vehicle until recently as I was in and out of work. I've just got a Golf diesel so I don't have to drive my van all the time so these will be going on there next winter and might see a bit of track action in the wet too.
