The SmartTRED technology allows this Goodyear Vector 4Seasons G2 165/70 R14 85T XL 3PMSF tyre to perfectly adapt to all seasons. Equipped with high-density 3D waffle sipes, the Vector 4Seasons G2 offers excellent traction on ice and snow. The tyre is certified for winter conditions.
Compared to the Gen-1, the tire has a wider profile that allows it to touch the ground over a larger contact area, providing effective grip on icy roads.
SmartTred Plasticizer Technology: Since plasticizers can alter the mechanical properties of rubber at different temperatures, it's a compound that makes the rubber more elastic. In all weather conditions, the tread stiffness remains the same, which is what you need for the all-season tires you want. Hydrodynamic grooves arranged in a "V" shape (directional profile) to reduce the risk of aquaplaning and ensure safer driving.
Optimized profile to connect smaller blocks to a stronger base: using sipes, not only can winter performance be improved, but drying performance can also be optimized by connecting the sipes together. As with the Vector 4Seasons Gen-1, it is equipped with 3D sipes that provide overall rigidity and good handling due to their self-locking effect when the tire is in motion. The rigidity of the tire is even greater from the middle to the shoulders: even if there is wear, the tire always has the same response.
