The Goodyear Vector 4Seasons Gen-3 (215/40R18 89W XL) is a premium grand touring all-season tire engineered for year-round performance on passenger cars, coupes, and hatchbacks. Introduced in 2020 as the third generation of Goodyear's acclaimed Vector 4Seasons line, it delivers meaningful improvements over its predecessor in dry braking, wet traction, and snow grip.

Key Features:

• Snow Grip Technology: Additional sipes in the central tread section create extra biting edges for improved traction on snow and ice-covered roads
• Aqua Control Technology: Deep and wide circumferential grooves deliver outstanding aquaplaning resistance and rapid water evacuation from the contact patch
• Reinforced Shoulder Blocks: Stiffer inner construction and strengthened shoulder blocks reduce tread deformation during cornering, improving dry handling and braking performance
• Directional Tread Pattern: Arrow-shaped tread lugs with longitudinal cuts enhance water, snow, and slush dispersal at all speeds
• Rim Protection: Built-in rim protector helps safeguard alloy wheels from curb and road debris damage
• 3PMSF Rated: Certified Three-Peak Mountain Snowflake rating confirms severe snow service capability
• Extra Load (XL) Rated: Higher load capacity than standard load tires in the same size

The Vector 4Seasons Gen-3 carries a UTQG rating of 500 A A and a 10/32" tread depth, offering strong treadwear longevity backed by a 5-year standard treadwear warranty. With a speed rating of W (168 mph) and a load index of 89 (1,279 lbs), this tire is well-suited for spirited driving in all four seasons without the hassle of seasonal tire changes.
