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!!!!

The side walls of these tires are way too soft, very poor feedback and handling when cornering.

Well I've had these Good Year Efficient Grip Performance (that's a mouthfull) for a month and driven 1800 miles on them. So far, they are proving to be very good. Compared to my last set of Toyo Proxes, they are MUCH quieter, Almost as grippy in the dry, but not quite as sharp, and they are quite a lot better in the wet. Feedback is average, I certainly wouldn't push them as hard as i pushed the Toyos.
For motorways and fast sweeping A roads they are more than good enough, but just lacking ever so slightly on the twistys. Also, they (just about) handle the massive torque of a very modded diesel Mondeo, just a slight scrabbling effect on cold tires. But overall, very good.
Longevity remains to be seen. I will report back after I've killed them!

Excellent tires very efficient and smooth. Road noise at a minimal and MPG improved slightly. The wear on these are excellent still running on 7mm tread compared to Michelins I previously had.

Not given these tires a proper work out yet, but utterly stable in the wet, and ludicrously quiet. A real cracker so far.

I just bought this tire after searching from this site.. It was a rainy/sunny mixed day so I had chance to test in all conditions. Even its not a high performance tire, I can say that it is good enough in dry conditions and looking good in wet too. I had no chance yet to test it with regard to fuel comsuption but you can feel its low rolling resistance while driving. Also its a silent tire. I suggest people who want to buy it.

Can't comment on wear as these tires are relatively new and I've only had them for a short while.
In all other respects however, these tires are excellent and provide assured handling in both dry and wet conditions and offer high levels of confidence and comfort.
Having many years experience of using all the major tire manufacturer's products, I have to say that Goodyear appear to have cracked the nut with this one and achieved that genuine blend of performance + fuel efficiency which we all crave.
Highly recommended
