Goodyear has added new tire models to their lineup.
Since the information release and in-store display authorization is August 18th, I can finally write about it here.
Previously, we had two models: the standard "Eagle F1" and the lightweight "Eagle F1 SuperSport (hereinafter SS),"
but now we've added the high-durability "Vector 4 Seasons" with strong sidewall cut resistance and the budget-friendly "Eagle Sport."
Additionally, tubeless ready (hereinafter TLR) versions of the Eagle F1, Eagle F1 SS, and Vector 4 Seasons have been released.
Furthermore, a new "tan" color option has been added to the Eagle F1 with a darker amber-tinted tire sidewall.
Among all the new specifications—Eagle Sport, Vector 4 Seasons, TLR tires, and the tan-colored Eagle F1—there is no 23C option available.
So the era has finally come (though it came long ago).
↑Vector 4 Seasons and its TLR version.
↑The packaging looks almost identical,
but it lacks a clear "TLR" callout, so watch out.
Actually, I'm supposed to draw a POP to prevent confusion.
↑This is the budget-friendly Eagle Sport.
Eagle SPORT is read as "Sport" in Japanese,
and Vector 4 SEASONS is read as "Seasons,"
but that's just the quirk of Japanese naming, so don't worry about it.
By the way, Continental's Grand Prix 4 Seasons is spelled "SEASON."
↑Measured weight of Eagle Sport (retail price ¥3,900 before tax)
in 25C.
The lineup also includes 28C.
↑Measured weight of Vector 4 Seasons (retail price ¥7,700 before tax)
in 25C.
For a sidewall-reinforced tire, this weight is remarkably light.
The lineup also includes 28C, 30C, and 32C.
↑Measured weight of Vector 4 Seasons TLR (retail price ¥8,300 before tax)
in 25C.
The lineup also includes 28C, 30C, and 32C.

↑This is the tire sidewall of Eagle Sport, but
the Vector series tire sidewalls
show faintly visible coarsely-woven reinforcement fibers.
Now let me get back to the title.
The latest materials show the spelling as Vector, but
the initial materials I received showed it as Vecdtor.
This is the trajectory in the case of Vecdtor.
Starting from V and connecting in the direction the mini wheels are pointing,
you get Vecdtor.
In the case of Vector, it looks like this. So...
↑This guy is the culprit.
By the way, judging from the acronym, Tubeless Ready
appears to stand for TUBELESS READY,
and this remained unchanged even in the latest materials.
