Goodyear Vector 4 Seasons SUV GEN-2 175/65 R15 84T

The Goodyear Vector 4 Seasons SUV GEN-2 tire is designed for SUVs and crossovers. The model is positioned by the North American manufacturer as all-season. It belongs to the High Terrain category and therefore has good traction on any asphalt surface.

Universality

The possibility of using it throughout the year is largely due to the design of the tread pattern. It is distinguished by a V-shaped structure, formed by the arrangement of drainage grooves. They are inclined and converge in the central part. This is part of a set of technical solutions combined in the SmartTread technology. Its essence lies in the division of the tread into several functional areas. Each of them increases traction in certain road conditions, which ultimately gives the tire universality in application.

Waffle lamellas

Almost three quarters of the traction edges are formed not by blocks, but by narrow slots - lamellas located on them. They are located at a distance of several millimeters from each other, which, nevertheless, did not disrupt the rigidity of the tread elements. The lamella walls have protrusions in three planes, which, when in contact with the road, fix them in the open position, limiting the mobility of the blocks at the same time. As a result, both traction on slippery surfaces and handling are improved at the same time.
