Falken ZIEX ZE310 EcoRun vs Goodyear EfficientGrip Performance 2

Across multiple years and sizes, the Goodyear EfficientGrip Performance 2 is the more complete all-rounder. It consistently places higher overall, combines safe, predictable handling in wet and dry, runs quieter, and delivers markedly lower rolling resistance with exceptional tread life (often 40-75% higher mileage than Falken). For drivers prioritising comfort, fuel economy and long-term value, Goodyear is the clear choice.

The Falken ZIEX ZE310 EcoRun remains a compelling, budget-friendlier option. It frequently achieves shorter braking-especially in the wet-and offers excellent straight-line aquaplaning resistance and confident dry responses, often for 15-25% less at purchase. If you want strong safety margins in rain and dry stopping at a lower upfront price-and can accept higher fuel use and faster wear-the Falken is easy to recommend.

Practical takeaway: choose Goodyear for the quiet, efficient, long-lasting daily all-rounder; choose Falken if you value sharp braking and aquaplaning security on a tighter purchase budget.

Footnote

This page has been developed using tire industry testing best practices. This means we are only comparing tests which have had both tires in the same test.

Why is this important? Tire testing is heavily affected by things like surface grip levels and surface temperature, which means you can only compare values from the same day. During a tire test external condition changes are calculated into the overall results, but it is not possible to calculate this between tire tests performed on different days or at different locations.

As a result you will see other tests on Tire Reviews which feature both the %s and %s, but as they weren't conducted on the same day, the results are not comparable.

Lots of other websites do this sort of tire comparison, Tire Reviews doesn't.
