Across 223 reviews averaging 75.1%, most owners describe the Goodyear EfficientGrip Performance as a quiet, comfortable tire with strong everyday grip in both the wet and dry, and many also notice improved fuel economy. The main recurring drawback is its notably soft sidewalls: around one in five owners report vague steering, a floaty feel or reduced confidence, particularly when driving briskly or at higher speeds. Tread life is more divisive than other areas, with near as many owners disappointed in wear as those praising long mileage.

GY Eff Grip Performance have to be the best tires available. Swapped from GY Asimmetric 2, which win lots of best on test, but are as good as Efficient Grip Performance. The Asi 2s lean in cornering, where as these are really sturdy. I can't comment on Progressiveness, or taking tires to limits of grip, as I use within their performance limits.
Excellent tires. I replaced my front Yokohama C Drive 2's with these and was gobsmacked by the immediate improvement. On a drive up to Edinburgh, through mixed weather conditions, I found them to be almost silent. The grip in the wet is the best I have ever experienced, even compared to more specialist rain tires such as Uniroyals. The braking performance is exemplary in the wet and the dry and while I've pushed them a little bit, they've always had tremendous levels of grip. I bought these after failing to find any Vredestein Sportrac 5 tires locally but I have to say I'm glad I found them and I wouldn't hesitate to get them again.

I would say that these are probably the best tire money can buy at the moment for normal UK driving conditions, excellent wet & dry grip on braking and cornering. Comfortable and good fuel economy plus low noise. Done about 3000 miles with them, combined urban & motorway- rears show little sign of wear, front maybe 1mm. I paid £62.50/tire after a fuel voucher offer from an on-line company, fitted at my workplace.

Mounted on a 2013 Fiat Panda 1.2 69cv.
At first, they slided a bit, the car didn't break straight, it oversteered when braking in corners and understeered when accelerating and lost a bit of traction. After a few kms, that all improved. Now the cars goes "on rails". Both on dry and wet, the tires feel really good, you know exactly what is happening between the wheels and the road, and feel how much grip still you have. Also, they are very progressive and sinlent when sliding, the car brakes strong and straight, and it's impossible to move the rear on corners.
The tires are not too noisy. About the wear, I haven't done too many miles so to have a good opinion.
By far the best tires I have had. Just changed from Dunlop Sport Maxx Rt and prior to these Falken ze914. The Goodyear efficientgrip performance are just so so quiet and very comfortable. I have also seen an improvement in economy. I commute many miles daily and sometimes have a heavy right foot and these have never let me down. I would recommend these to anyone.
I'm using these tires during this summer and have a very good experience.
My previous tires were Michelin HP primacy and was impressed that it's best tires. But goodyear EfficientGrip Perfomance shows less noisy, more soft and more stable on wet road.
It was real comfort tire compare to my ex ps3.
Above average on grip, traction on wet and dry road.
Reasonable price and wear rate.
You can't go extreme with this tire as it was more bias on comfort even it was tagged efficient grip performance. Above 210kmh, it does feel floaty and this never happended on my ps3.
Anyway, it was a great tire with no compromise on comfort,road noise and moderate spirit drive.
Just had these tires fitted on the front of my Renault Scenic 1.5 diesel.
I recently purchased this 2005 model and realised very quickly that the handling was very poor and the front tires only had 2.5mm remaining on the tread.
I had these tires fitted at Tire-Ex in Durham who provided internet matched prices and superb customer service.
I must say that from the moment I drove away with these tires fitted, the transformation in the handling, road noise, feedback, and ride comfort was astounding, and it was driving a different car.
I now have a new found confidence in my new car and feel much safer and am absolutely chuffed with these tires, and would highly recommend them to anyone wanting quality at affordable prices and much more cost efficient long term than budget brands or the dreaded part worn tires on the market.
While doing research on this site I get my tires completely. Pirelli P7 tires on my car when I had the first, but shortly after the Michelin Primacy HP bought all satisfied. Although very pleased with this tire after the first time I've had serious problems. After investigating the Goodyear tests suggest again saw brands such as Volkswagen. In a country such as Turkey is definitely corrupt ways this is an excellent tire, Goodyear's the right choice. Comfort, dynamics, handling, this tire completely.
Absolutely stunning!!!
Been driving them for a few months now, I'm more than impressed with handling in both wet and dry. The car seems almost impossible to get out of balance.
It also gives the car A LOT better feeling at high speeds (140-150 km/h), it's comfortable to ride at those speeds - Unlikely stock Michelin energy ones I had before. This applies to rain as well.
The road noise is GONE - the car is way more quiet - as if I'm driving a bigger/higher class car.
I'm absolutely amazed by them so far. Only went for like 3 thousand kilometers, so I can't tell anything about the wear yet. Will report back. A big recommendation from my side!!!!
