Comparison: Goodyear Vector 4Seasons Gen-2 vs. Kumho Solus HA31 vs. Nokian WeatherProof

In this text, we will compare two all-season tyres: the Goodyear Vector 4Seasons Gen-2 and the Kumho Solus HA31. As a comprehensive tyre review website, we aim to summarize test results and provide an accurate verdict on the strengths and weaknesses of each tyre based on mutual test positions and overall performance.


First, let's look at the Goodyear Vector 4Seasons Gen-2. With an 87% rating, this tyre has been replaced by the newer GoodYear Vector 4Seasons Gen-3. Additionally, this tyre performed well in AutoBild and ACE tests, ranking 5th out of 31 and 2nd out of 10, respectively. In terms of strengths, the Goodyear Vector 4Seasons Gen-2 excelled in snow performance, with exceptional snow braking, snow handling, and snow traction.


On the other hand, the Kumho Solus HA31 has a slightly lower rating, at 78%., and it was not replaced by a newer model. In the same AutoBild and ACE tests, this tyre placed 9th out of 31 and 8th out of 10. While the performance is not as strong as the Goodyear model in these tests, it is still relatively competitive.


Overall, the Goodyear Vector 4Seasons Gen-2 performs better in tests, particularly concerning snow performance. As a result, it can be considered to be a stronger choice for those in need of exceptional all-season tyres.


However, it is important to also consider the newer GoodYear Vector 4Seasons Gen-3, as it may provide even better performance due to its updated design and features.


Ultimately, both the Goodyear Vector 4Seasons Gen-2 and Kumho Solus HA31 provide reliable all-season performance. However, Goodyear's better overall test results and superior snow performance make it the more attractive choice for most drivers.
