GOODYEAR VECTOR 4 SEASON TUBELESS TYRE

The Definitive Year-Round Road Tyre.

The Goodyear Vector 4Seasons Tubeless Complete is a high-performance road tyre designed to eliminate the need for seasonal tyre swaps. It bridges the gap between a fast-rolling summer race tyre and a rugged winter trainer. By combining a reinforced casing with a specialized wet-weather compound, it provides a "set-and-forget" solution for riders who face unpredictable road conditions, from summer rain to winter grit.

The "Tubeless Complete" designation refers to Goodyear’s proprietary design that adds a multi-compound material layer to the casing, significantly improving air retention and puncture protection without the "wooden" feel often associated with heavy-duty tubeless tyres.

Key Features

• Dynamic:Silica4 Compound: Formulated specifically to maximize rolling efficiency while providing an 8.7% increase in wet grip compared to standard compounds, ensuring confidence in greasy or damp corners.

• R:Armor Protection: A lightweight nylon race fabric that extends bead-to-bead, protecting the sidewalls from cuts and abrasions caused by road debris or flint.

• R:Shield Breaker: An additional puncture protection belt located directly under the tread cap to defend against sharp objects while allowing the sidewalls to remain supple for a smooth ride.

• Dual Angle Bead: A specialized bead shape that provides a superior initial seal against the rim, making home tubeless setup significantly easier and improving air retention at high pressures.

• Forward Facing Fitment: Optimized for modern, wider rim internal widths (19mm–21mm), ensuring the tyre maintains its intended aerodynamic shape and contact patch.

Technical Specifications

✅ Why This IS For You

• Year-Round Commuters: If you ride in all weather, the Dynamic:Silica4 compound and robust puncture protection mean fewer flats and better grip on rainy Monday mornings.

• Endurance & Audax Riders: The 120 TPI casing provides a supple, comfortable ride that reduces road vibration over 100km+ distances.

• Tubeless Skeptics: The "Tubeless Complete" liner holds air better than many standard tubeless-ready tyres, meaning you won't have to pump them up before every single ride.

❌ Why This May NOT be for you

• Weight Obsessives: At approximately 360g for a 28c tyre, it is heavier than dedicated summer race tyres like the Goodyear Eagle F1 SuperSport.

• Pure Summer Racing: While fast, the reinforced tread and sidewalls have slightly more rolling resistance than a thin-casing racing tyre optimized for dry, smooth tarmac.

• Narrow Rim Users: These are designed for modern wide rims. On older, very narrow rims (under 17mm internal), the tyre may "lightbulb" and feel squirmy in corners.

BFC Pro Tip

The Vector 4Seasons tends to measure up slightly narrower than its stated size on many rims. If you have the frame clearance and are looking for maximum comfort and grip for winter riding, we recommend sizing up (e.g., choosing a 30c if you usually ride a 28c). This extra volume allows you to run lower pressures, further enhancing the tyre's natural damping and wet-weather footprint.
