In the 2020 Auto Bild All Season Tyre Test the Goodyear came in 1st place and the Vredestein came in 2nd place. However, the Vredestein beat the Goodyear in the following categories and in the UK the Vredestein is usually cheaper.

1. Dry Braking
2. Dry Handling
3. Wet Braking
4. Wet Handling
5. Straight Aqua
6. Wear
