Comparison: Ceat 4 SeasonDrive vs. GoodYear Vector 4Seasons Gen-3 vs. GT RADIAL ClimateActive

The following is a detailed comparison of two all-round tyres, the Ceat 4 SeasonDrive, and the GoodYear Vector 4Seasons Gen-3.


The Ceat 4 SeasonDrive, manufactured in India, did not have a previous model nor was it replaced by a newer model. In Autobild's overall comparison tests, it ranked at a significantly lower 34th place out of 35. Despite being praised for its good mileage and quiet operation, its performance fell short during winter conditions and under wet circumstances, which resulted in longer braking distances. According to autobild 2020 and 2023 reviews, the tyre's performance stayed consistent with good mileage, quiet operation, and competitive price. Nevertheless, its reduced winter qualities with less lateral control on snow and extended braking distances in wet conditions remained as the main cons.


On the other hand, the GoodYear Vector 4Seasons Gen-3, a product of Slovenia and France, is part of an established lineage of well-rated tyres, replacing the Gen-2 model. With a considerably high rating of 90%, it was ranked an impressive 6th position in the Autobild comparison tests. It demonstrated exemplary performance in dry handling, snow braking, snow traction, and wet circle cornering. The Gen-3 even showed resistance to both cross and longitudinal aquaplaning. Review summaries from autobild 2020, 2022, and 2023 highlighted the tyre's excellent all-weather driving properties, good snow traction, and impressive mileage. Some of the drawbacks noted included extended dry braking distance, increased rolling resistance, and a slightly elevated noise level when passing by.


In conclusion, if we consider the aggregated test data, the GoodYear Vector 4Seasons Gen-3 proved superior in almost all categories, and therefore, represents a more reliable choice for an all-round tyre. Its performance in dry and wet conditions left the Ceat 4 SeasonDrive in its wake, despite the latter's impressive mileage and quiet operation. Based on these testing results and comparisons, it's evident that the additional investment in the GoodYear Vector 4Seasons Gen-3 would result in better overall performance. However, for those who are particularly budget-conscious and prefer a quieter ride, the Ceat 4 SeasonDrive might still score a few points.
