Goodyear EfficientGrip Performance 2 Reviews - Page 4

Given 43% while driving a Ford S Max (225/45 R17) on mostly town for 3,000 easy going miles
(6K miles/year, mainly urban) Grip was excellent as to be expected based on the recommendation from the garage. However, the fronts lasted six months! Yes, we barley got six months and the tread was gone completely. The rear tires had minimal wear. The rears were swapped to the front and lasted another six months. These tires are not suited for heavy load vehicles such as the S-Max. Also be aware, both sets of tires caused a very worrying vibration over 40mph which disappeared at 60mph and above. Replaced with Hankook S1 EVO2 94w tires. The fronts lasted one year. Best tires to date have been a set of General Altimax 98W XL. These are slightly noisier tires but lasted 1.5 yrs.

Very good tire in the dry and wet. Feels safe in corners, no slipping on bends. The handles just as good in the wet as the dry, little road noise. After 3000 miles no sign of wear yet.

Given 95% while driving a Mercedes Benz A180 CDI W176 (205/55 R16) on a combination of roads for 1,000 average miles
So far so good. It is one of the best tires I have ever placed on my Mercedes. First of all comfort and noise: since the suspension of my Mercedes is tough with the previous tires I felt and hear all the bumps on the road. Now the situation improved 101% the steer is lighter the noise doesn't exist and the wheels pass the bumps smoother than ever. Greek roads are awful and since I use the car mostly in the city I can say it is the best tires as far as comfort noise and steer. Now on the highways: fuel economy is outstanding. The tires are so smooth and helps a lot at the acceleration of the car. The only concern is when trying to drive on a close or long turn. Since I drive fast I would like to be more steady the car but for normal conditions you will not feel anything. But if you drive fast then you will feel that the softness of the tires don't help to keep the car inline. Haven't tested yet on wet. I definitely would by them again.

Skoda (225/50 R17) on a combination of roads for 15,350 average miles
Had to do 3 genuine emergency stops 2 in the dry 1 with surface water and the car stopped far faster than I expected. Very pleased with braking. Handling is good and predictable, sufficient feedback to know what is going on. They are quite and my fuel consumption got 2mpg better. The one area that is truly outstanding, in fact so good I had to check my receipt for mileage when fitted. The wear is at least 50% better than the Michelin premacy 4 I had on before or the Hankook's before them. Considering the grip is very good to also get outstanding long life is truly amazing. I will definitely buy again and have recommended these tires to family and friends

Renault Clio 1.6 GT line sports tourer petrol 2011 . Previous tires Michelin energy saver plus which delaminated. and heavy cracking Great tires for wear Now unavailable Replaced with Goodyear Efficient Grip 2. Wider tire with Rim protection which is very nice. Good looking tire three tread.groves on this size 8.5 mm new. Total Transformation on Ride Quality Comfort and Noise. Waited 6 months for these tires to come through on sizing. 195 50 16 88V Extra Load Tires made In France Noticeably stronger stopping on dry roads and excellent responce on steering and stopping on resent heavy rain and downpours. Very stable at Motorway speeds and again very quite Vehicle feels Far more secure and responsive. Fuel consumption has improved also . Well worth the patience wating for these tires. Treadwear 360 on sidewalls . To early to assess wear but I am sure these superb tires will fullfill all promises from all the reviews on the tire tests. Anyone considering these tires just go and buy them.

Given 99% while driving a Audi A3 2.0 TDI 140 (205/55 R16) on a combination of roads for 13,000 average miles
Bought these tires in May 2020 and ever since I am truly happy with them. I had many others like Michelin Primacy 4 which wore out quicker than my slippers and Turanza ones which were deadly in the slightest wet conditions. So after these reading the actual test of these I bought them 17months ago and never had an issue with them. Good grip on wet road without slipping, less road noise than any of the previous tires I had before, wear is minimal after 13000 miles. Just swap them around once a year and they will be fine. Tire pressure on front 2.2-2.3 Bar and 1.8-1.9 in the rear.

Given 33% while driving a Mercedes Benz B200cdi (225/55 R16) on mostly motorways for 100 easy going miles
Replaced Efficient Grip 1 with Efficient Grip 2. The '2' tires are NOISY and sing like the sand tires on an army truck, not quite so loudly. The singing is noticeable at all speeds up to about 60mph when the noise is drowned out by other noise. Goodyear suggest checking the tracking (done, no effect) or putting the '2' tires on the rear as well (not done, then there would be twice the noise!). The tread blocks appear to have some scrambling of geometry (which is usually done to prevent singing), but perhaps not enough. I don't understand how Goodyear have got this so wrong.

Given 94% while driving a Volkswagen (225/45 R17) on mostly country roads for 2,000 easy going miles
I just bought the Goodyear EfficientGrip Performance 2 one month ago and drove them for 2900 km together with my my 2014 Golf Sportscombi 2,0 TDI 150 bhp I bought the same day. These tires are the most silent ones I have ever experienced. And with the initial tread depth of 8,8 mm they will last me forever, I think. One of the amazing things is the lack of rollling resistance. My 2014 Golf Sportscombi 2,0 TDI 150 bhp delivers an average of 23,6 km/l and I am so impressed. These are my first GoodYear Tires. They are not the last.
