The head-to-head comparison of the Hankook Kinergy 4S2 H750 (our rating: 89%) and the GoodYear Vector 4Seasons Gen-3 (our rating: 81%) shows two very capable all‑season tyres with different strengths. Neither model currently lists a newer replacement, so both remain current in our tests.


Quick test-position snapshot: in major comparatives the Kinergy 4S2 generally finished slightly ahead — Autobild places it 3rd vs. GoodYear 4th, SPORTAUTO 2nd vs. 5th — though ADAC gave the Vector Gen‑3 top spot (1st) while Hankook was 3rd. Taken together, results are split but the Kinergy's higher overall score indicates a small edge across our database.


Test summary and patterns


Across Autobild, TyreReviews and several ADAC/SportAuto tests the two tyres show consistent tendencies:

  • Hankook Kinergy 4S2 H750 excels in dry handling and balanced everyday behaviour, with frequent praise for precise steering, short dry braking and strong mileage forecasts. Many tests highlight low rolling resistance and good comfort. Some test runs note minor wet and winter weaknesses and occasional higher exterior noise.

  • GoodYear Vector 4Seasons Gen‑3 is repeatedly commended for wet and winter performance — excellent wet handling, short wet braking distances and reliable snow traction. The Vector also scores well for comfort and predicted mileage, but several tests mention slightly longer dry braking and higher pass‑by noise.


Strengths & weaknesses (concise)


Hankook Kinergy 4S2 H750

  • Strengths: Precise dry handling, short dry braking, good wet braking in several tests, low fuel consumption and strong predicted mileage. High overall score (89%).

  • Weaknesses: A few tests report mild shortcomings on very wet surfaces and in deep winter extremes; sometimes marginally higher road noise.


GoodYear Vector 4Seasons Gen‑3


  • Strengths: Outstanding wet handling and braking, excellent aquaplaning resistance in multiple reports, very good winter behaviour and comfort. Top finish in ADAC testing.

  • Weaknesses: Slightly weaker dry braking in some tests, occasional higher rolling resistance noted in older reports, and elevated external noise compared with the quietest rivals.


Which tyre is better overall?


If you prioritise an all‑rounder with a slight lean toward sportier dry behaviour, Hankook Kinergy 4S2 H750 is the better pick — it holds a higher aggregate score and more consistently high placings across mixed tests. If your driving is wet‑heavy or you need the most reassuring winter and aquaplaning performance, the GoodYear Vector 4Seasons Gen‑3 is the stronger choice, evidenced by its exceptional wet results and ADAC victory.
