Summary of test scores and overall ranking
Across multiple magazines and test organisations (AUTO BILD, Autozeitung, ACE, TyreReviews and others), the Bridgestone Turanza All Season 6 consistently finished in top positions (often 1st–3rd) and has a higher aggregated rating (90% vs 81%). The Goodyear Vector 4Seasons Gen-3 scores well, especially on snow and in several wet tests, but generally sits a few places lower (typical positions range from 1 in one Autozeitung test to around 5–6 in many others).
Strengths & weaknesses — Bridgestone Turanza All Season 6
- Strengths: outstanding wet performance (wet handling, wet braking and wet cornering cited repeatedly), very good dry handling and braking, low rolling resistance, low noise and high comfort. Multiple tests praise its balance and predictability in both dry and wet conditions.
- Weaknesses: somewhat lower snow grip compared with the very best winter-capable all-seasons (still much better than a summer tyre) and a few notes on extended wet braking in one summary. Price level noted as higher in some reviews.
- Verdict: the Turanza AS6 is the best overall performer for buyers prioritising wet/dry safety, comfort and efficiency; top choice in mixed-weather, safety-focused test lineups.
Strengths & weaknesses — Goodyear Vector 4Seasons Gen-3
- Strengths: excellent snow traction and handling (regularly highlighted), strong wet handling in several tests, good rolling resistance in some reports, and very good comfort/noise levels in user‑oriented reviews.
- Weaknesses: weaker resistance to aquaplaning and some longer wet/dry braking distances reported in a few tests; rolling resistance and noise assessments vary between sources (some praise, some flag above-average rolling resistance).
- Verdict: a well-balanced all-rounder that excels on snow and offers very good comfort. It is a strong choice for drivers in winter-prone regions, but it trails the Bridgestone in overall braking and wet stopping performance in head-to-head tests.
Head-to-head conclusion
When comparing mutual test positions and aggregated ratings, Bridgestone Turanza All Season 6 comes out better overall — it places higher more consistently and scores top marks for wet and dry braking, ride comfort and efficiency. The Goodyear Vector 4Seasons Gen-3 stands out for snow capability and balanced performance across conditions, but it is generally ranked slightly below the Bridgestone in mixed‑condition test suites. Choose Bridgestone if wet/dry braking performance, low rolling resistance and low noise are your priorities; choose Goodyear if winter traction and an even-balanced all-season profile are more important.
Recommendation: review specific test reports for the tyre size you need, but for an overall best-in-test all-season tyre the Turanza AS6 is the safer all-around pick, while the Vector Gen‑3 is a very good alternative for snow-focused drivers.
