★★★☆☆

no material to compare too. 1 for BUY AGAIN not because tyre is bad, but because new ones are coming up. Current succesor is not vector Gen 3 but EVO A005 (better in dry and wet, worst in snow according to a test i cannot remember). Handling depending on tyre pressure. Recommende pressure is normal handling, +0,4 Bar far more responsive. No cracks due to sunlight (yet).

Formerly I most used Michelin-tires. Being older, more lazy, read about all-weather tires on this website; quality had become better. And indeed this first try was excellent. First used this set on a Peugeot 407 hdi 2.0 en last years on a -508. After 59000 miles, two tires have 2.5 mm left and the other two little bit more than 3 mm; I didn't expect so many miles from all-weather tires. Of course numbers 1-10 are relative and subjective, and my opinion also, but I've always been very satisfied with these tires. In wet conditions, they gave me a great sense of security. I enjoyed the comfort and the lack of noise; better than ever before. It's fair to say that I'm a relaxed diesel driver. Driving isn't a sport for me, but a way to cover distances as safely and comfortably as possible. Cruising speed on the highway is for 90% approximately 70 to 75 mph. It's a pity that Generation 3 doesn't perform better in the comparison tests now.

Pretty week when braking on summer, dry day. Little better on cold days. Strong when rainy and wet, preety good on snow. Loud, but pretty durable.

★★☆☆☆

The overal grip is very bad specialy on wet weather, on hot weather over 28 degree the tires are screaching when you are making turns with low speed 15/25km you can clearly hear them im gussing its the same with higher speed but the noise of the tires are higher compere to the sound they make so can`t really tell. On hot weather when you at light and start you can hear them screaching again couse the grip is not good and the tires are превъртат.
NB. This are my first all season tires so not much to compere outside seasonal tires.

I do not recommend these tyres. I purchased this tyre less than 10 months ago, expecting at least a reasonable lifespan given the price and brand reputation. Unfortunately, it has already developed a significant defect, making it completely unsafe to drive on.
