In this comparison, we are comparing a tyre from a manufacturer from USA (
GoodYear) against a tyre from a manufacturer from South Korea (
Hankook). Generally,
Hankook allround tyres are slightly better rated (82%) than
GoodYear (79%). In this particular case, the Hankook Kinergy 4S2 has a better rating of 83% compared to 79% of the GoodYear Vector 4Seasons Gen-3. The first tyre test of GoodYear Vector 4Seasons Gen-3 was done in 2020, compared to 2025 when was the Hankook Kinergy 4S2 first tested. Important for this comparison is also the
Autobild 2025 225/45 R18 test, where both the
Vector 4Seasons Gen-3 and the
Kinergy 4S2 were tested. See more mutual tests below. We also know where
Vector 4Seasons Gen-3 is made - Slovenia/France.
