In this comparison, we are comparing a tyre from a manufacturer from South Korea (
Hankook) against a tyre from a manufacturer from USA (
GoodYear). 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 Hankook Kinergy 4S2 was done in 2025, compared to 2020 when was the GoodYear Vector 4Seasons Gen-3 first tested. Important for this comparison is also the
Autobild 2025 225/45 R18 test, where both the
Kinergy 4S2 and the
Vector 4Seasons Gen-3 were tested. See more mutual tests below.
