Summary of test results
Across multiple comparative tests the Bridgestone Turanza All Season 6 mostly occupies podium positions (including several 1st and top‑3 finishes). Review highlights emphasise its **excellent wet and dry braking, predictable handling, strong aquaplaning resistance and class‑leading comfort**. Autobild and Autozeitung note its dynamic behaviour in wet/dry conditions and favourable noise/comfort levels.
The Goodyear Vector 4Seasons Gen‑3 consistently scores as a well‑balanced all‑rounder with **very strong snow traction, good wet handling and low rolling resistance**. It ranks mid‑field in some larger tests (6th in Autobild) but tops or scores highly in snow‑focused assessments (Autozeitung gave it 1st for snow safety). Weak spots reported include occasional aquaplaning sensitivity, slightly longer dry or wet braking distances in some tests, and average wear in a few assessments.
Strengths and weaknesses
- Bridgestone Turanza All Season 6 — Strengths: outstanding wet braking and wet circle cornering, very good dry braking and handling, high comfort and low noise, good aquaplaning reserves. Weaknesses: slightly weaker on deep snow vs the best winter‑capable all‑seasons and a relatively higher price.
- Goodyear Vector 4Seasons Gen‑3 — Strengths: leading snow traction and cornering on snow, balanced performance across conditions, low rolling resistance (fuel economy). Weaknesses: some tests point to reduced aquaplaning resistance and longer braking in wet/dry in particular test scenarios; tyre wear/performance longevity flagged as average in a few reviews.
Head‑to‑head verdict
When judged by combined test positions and our aggregated ratings, the Bridgestone Turanza All Season 6 is the stronger performer overall — particularly if you prioritise wet/dry braking, comfort and all‑round safety at higher speeds. The Turanza regularly finished higher in mixed‑condition test fleets and earned the higher overall score (90% vs 81%).
The Goodyear Vector 4Seasons Gen‑3 is the better choice if your driving includes frequent winter conditions where **snow traction** is a priority and if you value reduced rolling resistance. It remains an excellent, balanced all‑season tyre but is slightly behind the Turanza in pure wet/dry braking and comfort metrics.
Recommendation
For drivers who want the best all‑round performance with a premium focus on wet and dry safety plus ride comfort, choose the Turanza All Season 6 (see manufacturer: Bridgestone). If winter grip and low rolling resistance are your top criteria, the Goodyear Vector 4Seasons Gen‑3 (manufacturer: Goodyear) is a very capable alternative.
