How scores work
- Relative score
- 0–100. Blends road tests (60%) and owner reviews (40%) category by category, the same way on every TireWheelGuide page. With only one of the two, the missing half is estimated from it, so the score stays closer to average. It needs at least one road test or five owner reviews.
- Road tests
- 0–100 per score, from published tests, newer tests counting more. Each result is compared with every other tire in the same test, so a win against a strong field counts for more. The average tested tire gets 70, the best 100; with only one or two tests a tire stays nearer 70. The discipline rows show % of the best tire in that test.
- Owner reviews
- 0–100 from the owner reviews we found online, adjusted for how generously each site rates and scaled like the road tests: the average tested tire gets 70. With only a few reviews a tire stays near the average.

The Goodyear Vector 5 is generally regarded as a capable all-weather tire that provides reliable grip on wet surfaces and predictable handling characteristics. While users appreciate its communicative feedback and performance in varied conditions, the consensus is tempered by concerns regarding increased fuel consumption, audible road noise, and inconsistent tread longevity.
Pros
- Strong traction on wet and slippery road surfaces
- Predictable handling and communicative feedback
- Effective performance across both FWD and AWD drivetrain configurations
Cons
- Noticeable increase in fuel consumption
- Audible humming noise on smooth tarmac
- Reports of premature tread wear in certain driving conditions
- Higher price point relative to market alternatives
Worth knowing
- Performance remains consistent across both FWD and AWD vehicle platforms.
- Small city cars, such as the Fiat Panda 4x4, demonstrate reliable utility over moderate mileage intervals.
