Default Re: Replacement car tyres and tyres labels

Just to throw in another comment, I used to work in Austria on contracts so needed winter tyres (all seasons weren't around back then). The locals recommended Goodyear (UG range) so I fitted a set to some steel wheels out there (and discovered the tyres were made in Birmingham!! ). The winter grip was excellent, brilliant on snow and pretty good even on rough ice.
My current "all year" car (Yaris) now has Goodyear Vector 4 Seasons Gen3 tyres on it. They are quiet, supple, excellent wet grip, dry grip is plenty good enough for me and my driving (modest). Fuel economy is basically the same as the summer tyres they replaced, so not an issue. I'd recommend them for consideration, but I haven't tried others so can't compare.
There are some excellent impartial tyre reviews online for all season tyres.
