Comparison: Michelin CrossClimate 2 vs. GoodYear Vector 4Seasons Gen-3 vs. Hankook Kinergy 4S2 H750 vs. Falken EuroALL Season AS210 vs. Dunlop Sport All Season vs. Bridgestone Weather Control A005 EVO vs. Nokian Seasonproof

Summary: The Michelin CrossClimate 2 (our rating: 92%) and the Goodyear Vector 4Seasons Gen‑3 (our rating: 81%) are two leading all‑season tyres with clearly different performance emphases. Across multiple independent tests (Autobild, ADAC, TyreReviews, Autoklub, ARBÖ and others) the CrossClimate 2 regularly places among the top candidates for snow and dry stopping, while the Vector 4Seasons Gen‑3 is frequently praised for wet handling, comfort and overall balance.

Neither model has been replaced by a newer generation (no “replaced by” model listed), so the test data refer to the current versions linked below:

• Michelin CrossClimate 2 — manufacturer: Michelin


• Goodyear Vector 4Seasons Gen‑3 — manufacturer: Goodyear

Test summary and comparative positions

Michelin CrossClimate 2 — strengths & weaknesses

• Strengths: Best‑in‑class snow traction, excellent snow handling and snow braking, very short dry braking, low rolling resistance (fuel economy), good comfort and low wear in many tests.


• Weaknesses: Slightly limited wet braking/handling and modest aquaplaning margins reported in some tests. Higher price is frequently highlighted.


• Where it wins: Ideal for drivers who need a true winter‑capable all‑season with very good dry performance and low running costs.

Goodyear Vector 4Seasons Gen‑3 — strengths & weaknesses

• Strengths: Outstanding wet handling and short wet braking distances, very comfortable ride, well balanced across disciplines and generally low rolling resistance in many reports.


• Weaknesses: Longer dry braking distances versus the Michelin and slightly weaker snow traction in several comparative tests. Some tests noted higher exterior/road noise.


• Where it wins: Best for drivers who face frequent wet conditions and value comfort and predictable behaviour in rain.
