Goodyear Vector 4SEASONS GEN-3 SUV

EU tyre label for every size: 29 sizes of this all-season tyre compared with the rest of the market

The Goodyear Vector 4SEASONS GEN-3 SUV is a all-season tyre for passenger cars. Its supplier has registered it in the EU product database (EPREL) in 29 sizes (46 registrations including load and speed variants), for 16″ to 21″ rims.

Wet grip is rated B–C depending on size, fuel efficiency A–D and external rolling noise 71–74 dB. Every size carries the three-peak mountain snowflake (3PMSF), the mark for tyres tested in severe snow.

The label depends on the size. Sorted by wet grip, then fuel efficiency, then noise, the best-labelled size on sale is 215/60 R17 (Wet grip B · Fuel efficiency B · 71 dB), the weakest 255/55 R19 (Wet grip C · Fuel efficiency C · 73 dB).

On the EU market since May 2021; the earliest production week registered is 47/2019.

What the label means on the road (215/65R16)

Example: the 215/65R16 size, compared with the 209 other all-season tyres registered in this size.

Wet braking from 80 km/h

≈37 m with class B, against ≈41 m for the most common class in this size (C).

Fuel efficiency

Class C, the most common class in this size: no difference to the typical tyre.

Rolling noise

72 dB against a median of 71 dB in this size (1 dB louder).

Estimates from the class ranges in Regulation (EU) 2020/740. A label class is a range, so a real tyre can sit anywhere inside it. Every 3 dB doubles the sound energy.

All 29 sizes

The small figure under each class is the share of same-size, same-season tyres this size matches or beats (“–” when fewer than five tyres share the size).
