My first all season tires, but they will stay for a long time. The car performs well on dry and wet roads, as well as smoothly starts and brakes on a snow-covered road. Interestingly, on a snow-covered and icy road, they perform better than the "budget" winter tires that I had previously put on - with budget tires, the car skidded right away, while on GY Vector 4S tires the car started moving - towards my a positive surprise (the "test" took place on the same snow-covered road a moment before and after replacing the tires with all-season tires).

The tires are great. I switched from economy class tires to premium class tires and, despite a slight price difference between 175/65 R14 tires, the driving characteristics have improved dramatically. The car enters the corners more confidently, with greater speed. The braking distance has been significantly reduced and, during emergency braking, the car stops faster. In difficult situations, when a sudden change of direction is required, the tires "stick" the car to the road, even in unfavorable road conditions. While driving, water and snow are discharged on a regular basis. You don't feel a drastic drop in grip. The listed driving characteristics contribute to the feeling of safety and safe driving. To sum up: tires are worth recommending for any money, especially when we drive in different conditions and are looking for non-compromise tires.
