Goodyear expands award-winning Vector 4Seasons Gen-3 range to meet growing market demand
Goodyear is expanding its award-winning Vector 4Seasons Gen-3 range with 13 new SKUs, bringing the total offering in 2025 to an impressive 187 sizes, spanning 14” to 22” rim sizes. This extended range now covers over 92%1 of market demand for sizes 18” and below, and more than 75%1 for sizes 19” and above, ensuring even broader compatibility for drivers across Europe.
As the brand continues to invest in this growing market segment, new original equipment (OE) fitments with leading manufacturers including Mercedes and Renault further reinforce the tire’s premium positioning. The tire is optimized for modern and electric vehicles such as the Kia EV3, Mercedes C-Class, Volvo XC40, and Audi e-tron, delivering low rolling resistance and reduced noise which are key characteristics for today’s mobility needs.
The Vector 4Seasons Gen-3 is certified with the European Three-Peak Mountain Snowflake (3PMSF) symbol, offering exceptional performance in both summer and winter conditions. Its advanced tread pattern enhances grip on wet, snowy, and icy roads, while a versatile compound ensures reliable dry performance across a wide temperature range.
The tire also features Goodyear SealTech, a self-sealing technology that effectively seals tread penetrations of up to 5mm, helping the tire remain inflated until professionally inspected. Additionally, Goodyear SoundComfort Technology reduces interior noise by up to 50%2, providing a quieter ride that’s especially beneficial for electric vehicles.
“The expansion of the Vector 4Seasons Gen-3 range reflects Goodyear’s commitment to meeting the evolving needs of drivers and vehicle manufacturers alike. The tire is now available to even more vehicles in the premium segment, combining cutting-edge technologies with year-round versatility to deliver a confident and comfortable driving experience” said Ben Glesener, Senior Director, Technology Consumer, EMEA, Goodyear.
“With its recent win in the ADAC all-season tire test3, the Vector 4Seasons Gen-3 continues to prove that premium all-season tires are a great way to enhance every journey, all year round” concluded Ben.
