    Is there actually a difference between a Goodyear Vector 4Seasons Gen3 (non-suv) and SUV-version?

      If they're both available in the same size and load rating then the SUV version will be a little stronger construction to deal with the added weight, however they're not usually crossed over in load ratings

    Firstly thanks for the tyre reviews resource. I spend weeks mulling over your YouTube and website before choosing my tyres. I have an SUV and on my previous SUV fitted the superb Michelin Cross Climate in 275/45 R20. Unfortunately my new SUV Volvo XC90 only takes two all season tyres in 275/40 R21. Both look like very poor performers. The Continental Cross Contact LX Sport and then Pirelli Scorpion Verde All Season. Both appear to perform terribly all round (unless the newer NCS compound is any better in the Pirelli?). I’m completely at a loss with what to get. I’m UK Northern Ireland mild climate - rarely snows but a lot of wet weather all year round and winter regularly below 7 degrees but with little risk of snow. I drive the car easily and non aggressively but want to know i can stop or swerve controlled if I need too. Any ideas what I should get? The Goodyear Ultra Grip Performance Plus and Vredstein Wintrac Pro are both available as winter tyres which seems excessive to me but I’d struggle with a summer tyre knowing how bad they are when it gets icy. Thanks

      Tricky choice, and one of the issues with this huge wheels on relatively "normal" cars. Something like the Goodyear winter mentioned would be closer to the CrossClimate in extreme conditions, however you would give up performance in the summer. For my driving pattern where I live i would prefer the best tyre for the 95% of the time I'm driving, which is a summer
