Two scoring systems, side by side
Owner scores come from reviews found online; road-test scores come from instrumented tests. Where they disagree, it is usually a discipline owners rarely push to the limit.
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.
By owner reviews
74/100From 22 owner reviews analysed, scaled like the road tests: the average tested tire gets 70.
By road tests
86/100Scaled across every tested tire: the average gets 70, the best 100.
What owners like and dislike
Themes extracted from 22 owner reviews found online.
The Goodyear Vector All Season 4 generally receives positive feedback for its exceptional ride comfort, long-distance highway performance, and confidence-inspiring grip in both wet and dry conditions. However, user experiences regarding cabin noise are notably polarized, with some praising their quietness while others find them surprisingly loud.
Pros
- Excellent ride comfort and ability to absorb road bumps and imperfections
- High stability and quiet performance on the highway
- Strong, confidence-inspiring grip and performance in wet conditions
- Well-balanced and forgiving driving behavior on dry roads
Cons
- Notable tire noise reported by some users, contrary to expectations
- Slightly reduced steering feedback in dry conditions compared to dedicated summer tires
- Minor increase in energy consumption and rolling resistance on electric vehicles
Worth knowing
- Users driving electric vehicles, such as the Tesla Model 3, noted a measurable increase in energy consumption (approx. 10-15 Wh/mi) and experienced higher cabin noise levels compared to dedicated EV summer tires.
