In my opinion, these tyres are the best choice in terms of value for money. They are in no way inferior to other premium brands. A nice surprise in winter, they perform very well.

The tyres have excellent grip on both dry and wet surfaces. Unfortunately, I don't know how they will perform on snow or ice, as I've only been using them for three months, but I still recommend them wholeheartedly.

The tyres perform very well. The car goes superbly in both dry and wet conditions. Even sandy roads after heavy rain are no problem.

Very good tyres. They have already proven themselves in various conditions and have not disappointed me. This is another car with this model. Premium tyres at a very good price, I recommend them.

These are the first all-season tyres I have used. I am a driver with 20 years of experience and about 500,000 km done. Before buying, I watched probably all the videos about all-season tyres and read a lot of articles on the subject. It should be noted that some of them may be sponsored, but I drew my own conclusions and opinions from the reliable ones that did not sugarcoat the facts. Seasonal tyres are still a young product in terms of quality development, and currently only two manufacturers can boast tyres with a very high-quality rubber compound that are recommendable for both summer and winter. These two manufacturers have two different approaches to all-season tyres. The first manufacturer: Tyres that are good in summer but also suitable for winter. The second manufacturer: Tyres that are very good in winter but also perform well in summer. Considering these two approaches, I decided that for safety reasons it is more important to preserve the tyres in winter, while acknowledging that in deep snow or on mountain roads, no all-season tyres will be as good as the best winter tyres. I do not drive in deep snow or in the mountains, so this aspect is irrelevant to me personally. Here, we need to consider our personal needs: where we live, how often and where we drive, and whether, in the event of a snowstorm, for example, we can stay at home, where winter tyres would most likely be better than all-season tyres in snowy conditions. Winters in Poland, where I live, are getting shorter and milder, with only a few days of heavy snowfall, and typical winter tyres are primarily designed for white or icy roads. The choice of all-season tyres fell on Goodyear Vector 4Seasons Gen-3. Conclusions: In spring and summer, on dry and wet surfaces at temperatures of 0-30 °C, the performance is better than that of 4-5-year-old summer tyres and winter tyres of the same brand. I haven't tested them in winter yet, but considering how well they performed in spring at very low temperatures and on very wet surfaces, including melting snow, I am optimistic. From my perspective, I think it is better to replace all-season tyres every 3 years (these tyres have a shorter service life in terms of their compound properties, and we drive on them all year round, which causes faster wear compared to single-season tyres) than to replace two sets of summer and winter tyres every 6 years. The cost is roughly the same, but in the case of all-season tyres, in the third year at the end of their life, we will still only have 3-year-old rubber, compared to 6-year-old rubber at the end of the average life of a single-season tyre. Assuming that older rubber compounds on average perform worse than younger compounds, this also seems to be important. I will briefly mention the aspect of saving time and money by making an appointment with a tyre repairer, as well as the lack of space needed to store a second set of tyres at the end of the season. I recommend the oponeo.pl shop, where I have been buying tyres for years, as well as the centrumrowerowe.pl bicycle shop, which belongs to the OPONEO group.

The tyres are not the quietest, but I have had multi-season tyres from another premium brand before, and those are much quieter. I don't know how they perform on snow because winter is still to come, but there is no difference on wet and dry surfaces. I am satisfied.

Very good tyres, I can only review the summer season and weather conditions. In summer, they perform perfectly, are quiet, have good grip, even after rain, and drain water very well. They hold the road well.

Very good 17-inch tyres on an Opel Astra Sport Tourer K. They proved themselves on the roads in Poland on dry and wet roads. The tyres are quiet, which is important when driving with a small child on board :)
