Vauxhall Astra H 1.8 Tire Review Highlights

Writing about the Goodyear EfficientGrip Performance given 84% (185-55-17-H)
Driving on mostly country roads for 35 spirited miles
fitted these tires to the car the day I bought it as tires are the only thing that keeps you on the road, so having a good set on the car was of high importance to me. Over the last 3 years, I have covered around 35,000 miles on them and have put them through many heat cycles and given them a true torturing. I have a highly spirited driving style and the tires never fail to impress. While I have found that once you build temperature into the tires they become slightly floaty, and they don't load up predictably, this is expected of a tire in this range band. Nevertheless, traction is not lost and overall the tire continues to be predictable. When firm braking the tire is very efficient at slowing the car, however as the tire has a hard compound the tire will slip under high braking. The wet handling characteristics of the tire is very good and the tire can disperse the water effectively. they tire does not aquaplane. The harder rubber compound does, however, mean that in low temperatures the wet handling is lost slightly, but not to the point of being dangerous. The wear factor of the tire is low, and even after high load, high temperature driving the tires don't marble or grain. I have around 4mm of tread left on each tire, which is outstanding given the punishment they have received. The tires transfer information from the road effectively allowing you to feel in control. The only downside to these tires is the fact that they feel floaty when intense rapid steering inputs are made, and they roll a lot before loading up on turn in, and will occasionally understeer under high load. All in all a highly recommended tire for people who are after a comfortable Mid-range premium tire that will handle a sporty drive when possible.
