If you're in search of dependable all-season tyres, the Michelin CrossClimate+ and GoodYear Vector 4Seasons Gen-3 stand as prominent contenders. Each tyre brings its unique strengths to the tarmac, but how do they stack up in head-to-head comparisons?
The Michelin CrossClimate+ showed a particularly impressive performance in the Autobild tests, where it secured a solid 5th place out of 32 tyres. Commemorated for its comfort, snow traction, dry braking, and low exterior noise, it provides an overall commendable all-round driving experience. The tyre exhibits a superb synergy of stability and precision in its steering response, as validated by Autobild 2021. Nevertheless, slight susceptibility to curving during aquaplaning was noted by the testers.
The GoodYear Vector 4Seasons Gen-3, the newer successor to the Goodyear Vector 4Seasons Gen-2 and Goodyear Vector 4Seasons, exhibited superior performance, outdoing the CrossClimate+ by clinching the 4th position in the Autobild tests. Noted for its amazing dry braking, snow handling, wet handling, and low rolling resistance, this tyre emphasizes firm grip and control in diverse road conditions. The Gen-3 model showcases enhanced snow capabilities and assured safety during aquaplaning as per the Autobild 2021 results. However, it does come at a slightly higher price point compared to other all-round tyres.
Broadly, both tyres deliver solid performance, but the GoodYear Vector 4Seasons Gen-3 shines brighter on several aspects, displaying better overall test results. In comparison, the Michelin CrossClimate+offers exceptional value, balancing good performance with a more affordable price tag. Despite their respective strengths and weaknesses, both tyres assure an elevated driving experience, offering reliable performance in various climatic conditions.
In conclusion, the Michelin CrossClimate+ is best suited to drivers seeking strong all-round performance at a good value, while the GoodYear Vector 4Seasons Gen-3 stands as the go-to choice for those prioritizing top-level performance regardless of the price.
