I was unsure at first as they had low grip, but after a few miles they wore in and I felt very confident in the wet and dry with the grip of my car. I never worried about aquaplaning when I had decent tread and I drove in very wet flooded conditions on the M6 with no issue, where I had significant issue with falkens in the past. On harsher corners I wasn't overly confident in the tires. They seemed comfortable but were noisy, although the sound doesnt bother me. They lasted 2 years before I thought about changing them due to tread wear. Today I noticed that the outside wall of one of the tires had a bulge in them although this isn't an issue as they needed changing anyway. On average I do about 8 to 9k miles a year on poor country roads and motorway occasionally.
Always a Goodyear fan i purchased a used Yaris Hybrid in 2022. I looked for Efficient Grip Performance 2 but my tire dealer said that they will come after 3 months and i could not wait cause it had some worn Firestones on it. So he proposed the Duragrip. After 2 years and 20.000 km on them they start to worn pieces on edges! I don't know why Goodyear still produce a tire of 2007!!! Dry grip it's very good, wet grip good but noise and comfort average. I'll go for Falken next time because my newer Toyota had fit from factory and i am surprised with their comfort, low noise and grip!

Best front tire I've ever fitted to a Honda Jazz 2009. Excellent wear pattern and fuel economy. The Jazz (or Fit) from this era has a problem with edge-wear on the fronts. This seems to be much worse with some tires than others. This eventually ends up effecting handling and fuel efficiency as well as (obviously) halving the lifespan of the tires. It's taken me 140,000 miles and 5 sets of tires (3 of which were prematurely worn out) to get to 'grips' with this.

This is a decent tire. I cross around 20,000 KM a year. The tire were perfect for two years. Tire sides are heavy duty with no problems at all. On the third year, I started noticing slip on wet roads. The rubbers started to show dryness too. I recommend the tire but not more than Max. 60,000KM.
I bought these Goodyear Duragrip and made about 20.000 km in 4 years. In town, motorway and also curvy mountain roads. When they were new I was able to climb a hill even in snow, where my newer station wagon didn't make it even with winter tires (Goodyear Ultragrip 7+, 2years old)! The grip was always very good.
Then (after buying a new car) I parked it in my garage with still 6 mm of profile left.
Five years later I re-registered that old Renault R5, tires still look good, no cracks at all, I don't even feel any shaking at higher speed! But now they are about 10 years old and in a little faster driven turns it doesn't hold well anymore. It's time for a new set. For a higher millage i would defintely buy Goodyear, but for yearly max 2.000 of sunday-driven kilometers I will probbably choose a cheaper brand.
I have been using this model since I own my car (5 years).
This is second set. I probably will buy new set next year. Can say just I am satisfied with durability. Although I did not have any other brand of tire, for me this is best choice. And it has reasonable price.

My second set on the car, had them for 3 years and about 35000 km's.
Basically nice tire, but it doesn't justify it's name, since mine got fairly worn and torn on the edges - guess that it's because of some macadam roads usage, mostly on holidays. I remember seeing them torn the same day when I failed trying (more than hour!) to get up the hill on some steep macadam road with sharp rocks - those sharp ends really torn the Duragirps, a little bit from every possible angle. After that they should be replaced, but I drove them a year more with no problems. Anyway, solid choice for Serbian roads.
The first 17000 miles , i haven`t any problem in the way of driving i do. After thiw milage then it sterted to behaves just like plastic. It was spin every were, either dry or wet. Every brake finised with ABS ,even in dry.It became suddenly another tire, so i replace it with Dunlop Fastresponse.
very good for light a car , very low wear, good grip dry and in wet especially first two years (20.000 km) now almost 30.000 km and 3 mm left front, 5.5 mm back. grip in wet is not so good but tires are not worn, grip in dry still very good. Very long life, way way better than the firestones i had before.
I have now had duragrip tires for approx 18 months. Ride much quiter than old Goodyear GT2. After 10,000 miles front tires had reduced from 7mm to 5mm. Rear tires down to 6mm. No appreciable improvemnt in mpg. Try not to exceed the speed limit and potter along motoways between 65 & 70 mph. Car corners exceptionally well but no better than original tires. Do not do fierce acceleration from a standing start and try to achieve good mpg figures. Pleased with tires so far.
