GoodYear Vector 4Seasons Gen-3 vs Hankook Kinergy 4S2 H750 — test comparison

This side-by-side compares two popular all-season tyres: the Goodyear Vector 4Seasons Gen-3 and the Hankook Kinergy 4S2 H750. Neither tyre has been replaced by a newer model (no successor linked), so the reviews and test results below reflect current variants on the market. Manufacturer pages: Goodyear and Hankook.

Summary of test results and ranking

Across independent tests the two tyres trade places but a clear pattern emerges: the Hankook scores higher on our aggregated rating (89% vs 81%) and often finishes ahead in comparative test line-ups (Autobild: Hankook #3 vs Goodyear #4; SPORTAUTO: Hankook #2 vs Goodyear #5). ADAC is an exception where the Goodyear took top spot (#1) and Hankook placed #3. Overall, the Hankook Kinergy 4S2 tends to be the stronger performer in dry handling and braking, while the Goodyear Vector Gen‑3 stands out for wet and winter balance and low rolling resistance.

Strengths and weaknesses — Goodyear Vector 4Seasons Gen-3

Strengths: Repeated praise for excellent wet handling, strong snow braking and traction, high predicted mileage and low rolling resistance. Test reports highlight very good aquaplaning resistance in several trials and a comfortable ride.

Weaknesses: Consistent notes about slightly extended dry braking distances and marginally higher road noise in some reports. Our site rating: 81%.

Best for drivers who prioritise winter balance, wet safety and tyre economy (fuel and mileage).

Strengths and weaknesses — Hankook Kinergy 4S2 H750

Strengths: Exceptional dry handling and short braking distances in many tests, very good wet braking in several independent reviews, low rolling resistance and generally high comfort. Our site rating: 89%.

Weaknesses: Mixed notes on aquaplaning and winter ability — some tests praise aquaplaning resistance, others report vulnerabilities; a few reports indicate slightly higher exterior noise or only average snow performance. Some tests flagged moderate wear characteristics in older editions.

Best for drivers who want sharp dry performance and responsive handling with strong overall economy.

Head-to-head verdict

When comparing mutual test positions and aggregated scores, the Hankook Kinergy 4S2 H750 comes out ahead overall due to more frequent top placements, superior dry braking and handling, and a higher percentage rating on our site. The Goodyear Vector 4Seasons Gen-3 remains one of the most balanced all-season choices — particularly for wet roads and snow — and often wins praise for mileage and rolling resistance.

Recommendation: choose Hankook if you prioritise sporting handling and short braking distances in mixed conditions; choose Goodyear if you prioritise all‑around wet/snow balance and long tyre life.
