Comparison: Laufenn G Fit 4S vs. GoodYear Vector 4Seasons Gen-3 vs. Pirelli Cinturato All Season SF3 vs. Hankook Kinergy 4S2

Comparing the budget-oriented Laufenn G Fit 4S and the premium Goodyear Vector 4Seasons Gen‑3 across independent AUTOBILD tests shows a clear overall winner. The Goodyear scores substantially higher (our rating: 81%) than the Laufenn (62%), and this gap is reflected in consistent test positions and detailed test impressions.

Goodyear Vector 4Seasons Gen‑3 — strengths and weaknesses
The Vector 4Seasons Gen‑3 is repeatedly praised in AUTOBILD test reports: it finished among the top tyres (positions 3 and 6 in the two comparative tests cited) and is described as a test winner with “convincing driving characteristics in all conditions.” Test highlights include excellent snow braking, strong resistance to aquaplaning (both longitudinal and cross), and very good wet and dry handling. AUTOBILD (2022) called it a Testsieger thanks to dynamic wet/dry behaviour, precise steering and high mileage; a later summary (2025) again emphasises balanced, high‑level performance with good aquaplaning reserves, short braking distances and sportily secure handling. The main downside noted across tests is higher rolling resistance (fuel/efficiency penalty) and some mixed comments on mileage (one test highlights high mileage, a later note mentions average kilometre performance). Overall, the Gen‑3 is the stronger all‑season performer for safety and handling. Manufacturer information: Goodyear all‑season tyres.

Laufenn G Fit 4S — strengths and weaknesses
The Laufenn G Fit 4S is positioned lower in the same AUTOBILD comparisons (positions 17/37 and 21/32), which places it in the lower half of the field. That placement, together with the 62% overall rating, indicates compromises in one or more key areas compared with premium contenders. While Laufenn aims to offer a value proposition for everyday driving on mixed surfaces, the test placements suggest it does not match top performers for braking, aquaplaning resistance or precision handling under demanding conditions. There is no replacement model listed for this tyre in our data. For manufacturer details see Laufenn all‑season tyres.

Head‑to‑head summary

• Overall winner: Goodyear Vector 4Seasons Gen‑3 — higher score (81%) and consistently top test positions.


• Performance focus: Goodyear excels in wet, snow and aquaplaning tests; Laufenn trails in the same comparatives and sits in the lower half of test fields.


• Durability / economy: Goodyear’s mileage picture is mixed between tests (from “high” to “average”); rolling resistance is a known trade‑off. Laufenn’s test results do not highlight superior longevity or economy.

Verdict and recommendation
If your priority is all‑season safety, handling and test-proven performance across wet, dry and snowy conditions, the Goodyear Vector 4Seasons Gen‑3 is the clear choice. If budget is the primary constraint and you accept lower test rankings and potentially reduced performance margins in demanding scenarios, the Laufenn G Fit 4S remains an option — but expect compromises compared with the Goodyear. For readers comparing tyres for everyday mixed weather driving, test positions and the Goodyear’s multiple AUTOBILD commendations make it the recommended all‑rounder in this matchup.
