Goodyear EfficientGrip Reviews - Page 2

Very good feelings at the start. Very good handling with well directional tires. After 2 months, I felt vibrations. I came back to do the balancing, but no pellet had jumped. Unfortunately, the problem kept coming back. I changed my assembly center but it was the same. The geometry was also checked. The pros confirm a defect in the tire, but the online sales site (CentralPneus) tells me that they will not take back tires that have run! Of course, how to notice a defect before mounting them ??? GoddYear asks me to return to the seller, or ... return the tires to them at my expense (and after I roll on the rims?) The tires seem to deform while rolling !!!

I bought 4 of these tires to replace the worn out Pirelli Cinturato P6. Initial impressions are that these tires indeed comfortable, grippy and returned good feedback. Priced quite well also and I thought I was getting good value for money which is why I took the plunge. After 20,000km the tires were mostly worn but still slightly above the thread wear indicator. After 11 months, At 30,000km with the tires well worn, I felt the tires were wobbly on the highway and I especially dread driving in the wet because of the tendency to slip. That was the last straw and I subsequently changed to Michelin. I have always kept the pressure inflated to manufacture’s recommendation and used the car mostly on highways. Drove rather calmly and despite my best efforts, it still wear out faster than I expected. Longest lasting tire I had was the factory fitted Turanza T001. Lasted 50,250km. These Goodyears dissapoint. I would not buy it again nor will I recommend it.

Fitted 2 of these GOODYEAR Efficiency grip 225/40-18 to the front 5 weeks ago and have done about 800 miles on them. One tire has already gone flat to the deck due to tiny hairline cracks in the sidewall.(yes its only done 800 miles). Low level 50 quid budget tires "don't" even do that. Will never buy again, ever.

extremly noise on my megane 3. I have only driven about 4000 km and concidering to switch them to another brand. Very loud roud hummung especialy on clear black tarmac . Not acceptable.

Had these fitted to the front wheels the handling was Good also the grip on the wet was excellent but after 7000 miles already down to 3mm tread on the tires for the price on my car I would not use them again.

Too noisy like wheel bearings gone bad. Poor steering response at corners.

These are the rft version, BMW strar mark. Replacing Michelin energy saving ( not bad on dry roads but weak on wet). One of the best option for rft tires for bmw. Great breaking both dry or wet. Excelent handling ( maybe because of the hard SIDE walls). One of the best rolling resistence and confortable. Definetly Will buy again. Cheers from Portugal!

My Astra Sri came with continental Tues which drive like a dream .. I chose Goodyear based on paper rating .. it was just a bad choice .. the handled like a squidgy ball and the road rumble made be want to write off the car .. I changed the fronts to continental sport contact today and instantly I love my car again .. never in my life am I buying Goodyear again 🤬

Runflats fitted to a BMW 116i (205/55R16) and couldnt be happier. They really pleasantly surprised me in the wet. No slip at all. Comfortable, quiet great tires. Would definitely buy again and highly recommend to others.

Bought 4 of these tires in late October last year. I've used them in most weather conditions and they worked fine, nothing special at all just sound tires with decent grip. It's now late March and I have done about 5,000 miles on these tires and they have worn quite badly. I've had 20,000 miles out of a set of tires before now. Sadly I don't think I'll even get another 5,000 out of these. I've rated the wear at 3 because it may very well be that they're not ideal for my type of vehicle, but I would still expect far better wear from higher end tires (I paid £120 plus tax per tire including fitting & tracking). The tires had decent amounts of tread when new and were economic and comfortable for a while. Now that they are wearing lower they are becoming noiser, hence the lower comfort rating. I personally wouldn't buy these tires again and wouldn't recommend them to anybody thinking of having them fitted to a Van, Pickup or larger vehicle.

I like to change tires within 2 years of purchase. I own a Mercedes A160 blue efficiency. This time i will not change the tires as soon as before because they are AMAZING and when i change them i will buy the same. They are really quite on the road, have very good fuel consumption (very efficient), they brake very well on wet and dry. I can't comment on lateral grip in turns because my tires are not low profile, but overall they are predictable in turns. After 30k miles and 3 years of use they have a lot of thread left and they feel like new. I really love these tires. Give them a try, i think they worth every penny. Drive carefully, always use seat belt in your car and helmet if you ride a bike. Enjoy life.

I've driven these tires on my BMW 325i for about 20.000km in size 205/50/17 89V

At first they were pretty good, but after the thread was below 5mm they really started to get worse.
On wet roads, they do understeer quite quickly, cornering in the wet does not give me a lot of confidence anymore.
On the dry, grip is still good, but they do squeak in corners very quicly.

Overall, the tires are not bad. But if you tend to drive a bit faster in corners and higher speeds, I do not recommend them.

I will have to replace these tires very soon and will probably go for Hankook Ventus S1 Evo 3.
