I had this for 60,00km.
They were meh.... during dry roads. But during wet... you should definitely be paying attention to the steering wheel because is like they were made of stained steel, a lot of aquaplaning. But, as they are made from stained steel and not rubber, they are very hard on potholes, almost indestructible.
About noise, not too bad, but not in the premium league. I had some European tires that were noisier, but not the premium type.

Two new tyres on my A4 in February, 7000 miles ago and they're being replaced now in September because they're almost bald. Can't believe how bad these have lasted on mostly motorway mileage when the 2 original ventus from the factory are still going strong from 3 years ago. Never buying these again.

My experience with Vector 4 season gen3 so far (approx. 10,000km of spirited driving, dimensions 225 50 17):
Bought a brand new Audi A4 35tfsi in November 2022, and immediately swapped summer Pirellis for these Goodyear. I am not a tyre testing expert, this is only my subjective take on the experience with these tyres. I live in Montenegro, and weather is pretty mild, with rainy winters and hot summers. However, I do travel a lot within the region, and often it happens that my journey starts at +20c in coastal Montenegro, and ends in temperatures below zero in Croatian mountains, or in Serbia. This happens quite often, during autumn or even spring. That being said, winter tyres are big compromise, as they are not utilized properly; all-season tyres make much more sense, both in option when they are used as winter tyre (in combination with the set of summer tyres), or throughout the entire season (as a single set).
Back to Goodyear review: winter was exceptionally rainy this year, so I have been driving mostly on wet and muddy roads. These tyres are superb for wet conditions. Aquaplaning and grip levels are very good, feels very safe and planted. I also did couple of trips north, so I encountered snow and ice cold tarmac - I think the tyre performs decent in these conditions, with acceptable traction and levels of grip. It gets the job done, and I don't have to think about the weather, whenever I travel.
The performance in dry weather is very good, road handling, grip levels and comfort are all great. I didn’t understand why all reputable tyre tests mention longer braking distances in dry weather, my subjective feeling is that stopping power is quite good, with lots of feel and confidence. I still didn’t get a chance to use them in blistering heat, so I will try to update my review in July or August.
No comments on tyre wear so far, as I have only done 10k.
Overall, I really like these tyres, and they behave very similar to Continental All Season Contact, that I used as winter tyres on my previous car.

Good allrounder but was expecting more comfort from a touring tyre.
Downsides are aquaplaning, which is really bad, and cofort which is average at best.
Performance in other fields is as expected and promised by reviews.

Was searching for a cheap winter tyre and got more than I hoped for. Very quiet and comfortable with great performance on dry wet and snow. Didnt notice any wear. I recommend this tyre to anyone who is aiming for comfort and quitness without braking a bank.

After 2yrs of using re003, changed to Ps4. Was disappointed. Sidewall softer than Re003 but not as comfortable. The re003 absorbs road harshness like butter but still grips n handles better. A year later change to Ps5. Still almost the same. Abit more comfort. But steering is vague. Sidewall soft n can feel road harshness. End up changing to the Re004. A world of diff again. Harder sidewall which makes turn more fun n sharp. At the same time road harshness was absorbed like butter. So overall, Re004 quieter, more comfort n better steering response than the Ps5. Not to mention cheaper too. Grip i think is about the same. If u hv to choose, go for the Re004.

Considering, it is a non-studded, European winter tyre, the Pirelli is surprisingly good on snow. We took it to the arctic cirlce in winter and it performed just fine in deep snow as well as on mixed surfaces and even ice. Even during a high-speed corner braking on a snowy track from 60 mph to a standstill because of animals in the road, the car remained very controllable (no ESC, just ABS) and braking distance was shorter than I expected. Also we needed the chains less often than expected, despite the Audi being a 2WD. In the wet and dry there are no surprises. Feedback is good and so is noise and comfort. Dry and wet braking performance did not surprise me in any way either. Nothing particularly positive jumps to mind, however the are no negatives either. The price of 58 EUR in October 2018 was okay too.

Tried the goodyear asymmetric 5 for a month. Swap tu the horrible but expensive ps4s for a week n finally to this excellent RT2. I was blown away. Sudden quieter tyres. So much more smoother to drive than the PS4s n Asymmetric 5. More direct steering too. So glad i tried this. Better to drive than the asymmetric 5. Waaaaaaay better to drive than the crappy ps4s. Best decision ever.

After changing to this tyres after using the goodyear asymmetric 5, i was really shocked at how outdated the car feels. Road roughness vibrates through the cabin, more noise, the sidewall is soft but tyres are harsh. So opposite of asymmetric 5 which has harder sidewalls but very plush to drive absorbing road imperfections. Steering feels also feels so inconsistent. I guess many people just buy this because its expensive. Used for a week, changed to Dunlop RT2 and never regretted. Straight away feels so much smoother, quieter with more direct steering. Stay off this outdated tyre. Expensive doesn't mean better. Trust me.

My first impression was pretty good, tyres seemed to be average on noise and fairly good on grip, comfort and wear. Tyres feel stable and safe on wet, the car doesn't aquaplane easily even on puddles. Then I noticed the average fuel consumption had gone up by around 5-10% compared to the old tyres due to high rolling resistance, which doesn't seem much but it adds up. So the price difference to the most expensive premium tyres will equalise in few years (especially when fuel prices will go up due to environmental reasons), and after that they will end up costing more than the premium tyres like Michelin or Continental. Thats why I probably wouldn't buy them again.

Just have them for 18 days on an Audi A4 B8 2015 Quattro 190 HP with standard suspension.
The feedback is very good. I'm impressed with the comfort because they behave the same way as my 17' wheels behave over bumps.
Stability is much improved compared to my 4 year old Continental Premium Contact.
