Any body have any good or bad experience with this tyre. I have an opportunity to get some on used alloys reasonably cheap.

Thanks for any help.

My lad ran them on his previous Fabia HTP in 165/70 R14 size and they worked well throughout the year.

As a year round solution they'd be ideal. If where you live you get a lot of snow, I'd be looking at a proper winter tyre, such as the Goodyear Ultragrip 8. The Vector4seasons are however siped, so shouldn't perform too badly in the slippy stuff. Don't expect them to perform like a winter tyre though. It depends how much tread is left also?

Cheers, 2 of the tyres are 8ish mm and the others are 5ish mm. I would replace with proper winter tyres in the future but I should get at least one season out of the 5mm and more from the others. We don't even do that many miles. I'm sold really just need to convince the wife!

Run them on my wife's Yeti.

Good all round tyre.

Sure, a little bit less grip in hot conditions, but a lot more in cold/snow/ice so worth it if not doing mega miles IMO.

If changing to winters each year I'd get something more focussed, like Ultragrip 8s (which I did on the Fabia) and then went back to stock tyres in summer.

Thanks for the replys, just need to convince the wife. It's £460 for the 17 Audi alloys or it will probably be £600ish for new 16 steels with new winter tyres.

BossFox just read your citigo thread, Nuts I love it!

I've had Vector 4seasons on my car for the past two years and have been very impressed. The back roads round here are never gritted or snowploughed and the 4seasons performed well enough during the last two winters two convince me I neither need four wheel drive or full winter tyres.

They are pretty hard to fault in the summer too. Really push them hard in cornering and the back tyres will squeal very slightly, but that's about the worst they will do.

Had the Goodyear 4 seasons on the scout for a year now. Faultless performance. Much better in standing water than the original dunlops. I would highly recommend them.

The Hankook optimo 4sjust pipped the Goodyear in a tyre test so would be worth a look

Been looking at these myself.

Was going to buy Goodyear Efficientgrip but spotted that I can get the Vector 4seasons for about £12 more.

Only thing that I was wondering about was their performance in the wet/standing water because of the tread design but if they are good on the Scout then that has put my mind at rest a bit.

Got two Vector 4seasons fitted today.

Chunky looking tyre and doesn't seem any louder in terms of road noise than the Efficientgrips.

Time will tell as to how they perform. I don't push the car hard though and just wanted a tyre which can cope with all sorts of weather during my 80 mile round trip commute.

Only 2?

I assume that these were on the fronts with summer tyres on the rear?

If so thats dangerous and you will spin under hard braking as the fronts will grip and the rears won't. Plenty of scary videos on youtube proving this.
