Owners most consistently praise the Goodyear Excellence for dry grip, with comfort and relatively quiet running also receiving more praise than criticism. Wet grip is generally well regarded but less consistent, with roughly one in eight reviews reporting shortcomings. Longer-term accounts range from good life to early replacement, and around one in five reviews criticise wear. Noise complaints appear in about one in nine reviews despite the broader positive balance. Repeat reviewers have mixed experiences rather than a shared trend, so there is no consistent ageing pattern to describe.

These tires came with the car. I had them for 3,5 years (45000km). Their performance was very good even after 3 years! Very good grip both in dry and wet, fuelsaving and longlasting. Ideal for a reasonable driver who wants a trustworthy tire that will last!
I wanted to buy them again, but couldn't find them in my local stores... so I 'm trying Goodyear EfficietGrip Performance.

Hi there! For 40000 km and more than 2 years with EfficientGrips in my CITROEN C4 CUPE 1.6cc i have to say that these tires:
+
*Are very quiet
*Have perfect respond to butholes because of the very soft sides of the tires
*Good performance on wet doad even when road is full of water!!!
*Heel toe doesn't seems to wear out easily
*They still perform like the first day i install them!
-
*Sides of tire are easily get hurt when strikes pavement because of the softness of the side of the EfficientGrips
*I can't accelerate quiq even when ESP working, imagine without ESP!
*I cant stop my car on time, in spite of the fact ABS working perfect
*I cant turn a litle sporty when turning because tires are so slipery
*When i go streight on and turn left or right the hall car drives rough "in a while" left or right causing the front or/and mostly the rear of the car steply shifts left or right makes me scare!!!
Conclusion: EfficientGrips are perfect for my grandfathers' driving style.
I should buy Eagle F1 Asymetric.
Which tires do you drive?
Researching the Goodyear Excellence? Rate the tires you actually drive - and help the next buyer choose.
I use these tires on a ford galaxy which is used as a taxi these tires are good in the wet and dry with minimum road noise.
I rotate the tires at every service and am getting approx 32000 out of these as using as a taxi need good value for money thats exactly what your get with these.
Good, sticky, quiet & comfortable tires. Wear rate not so good though and really poor if you get caught out in icy conditions (note it is a summer tire but my experience was “memorableâ€).
My two rear Goodyear Excellence tires have now completed 62k miles ( had car since new ) and still have another 5k min before reaching 2.00 mm when I will change. The fronts were changed at 32k and the leasing company put on Bridgestones.They have worn well but Goodyear give a better ride.
Very strange tires. To about 6k miles are just brilliant...good dry handling superb wet response. After that...they transform in something else. One minute you have total confidence...the next minute you lose all the grip. Not so good at the limit. But overall a good tire. Very comfortable...and good wet grip. Lasted around 18k miles. Had contis and dunlop...but goodyear tires I found always very good in the wet. In spring I`m thinking of buying a pair of Eagle F1`s.
Pretty good tires. I have done about 45k on the tires before they front ones ran out, though I kept on rotating them at each service. The rear ones are still going after more than 50k(honest!). Except for one small slip up, never had a prob in 3.5 years.
I 'm a bit puzzled by the bad reviews on these tires. I bought used wheels and there were two Goodyear Excellence tires on them. The other ones were Uniroyal Rainsport 1, which I assumed were best to be put on the front.
Bad idea it seemed, the rainsport have really week sidewalls and are not firm enough when cornering. So I moved the Goodyears, who are extra load, to the front and they are much better there. More grip, better road control, and they don 't feel like they want to roll off the rimm.
To be honest, I still haven 't found any flaw on these tires. I think they are really great tires and I consider changing the others by Excellence too.
Generally a good tire for my Mini. Did average of 22000 on each set, with even wear across tire. Grip very good when new, but does reduce a lot once tires wear down below 4mm. Quite harsh ride - but they are run flats.
My tire dealer fitted a pair of these as he could no longer get the Goodyear NCT5 in my size. They don't inspire the same confidence as the NCT5. They grip well enough on very wet roads, but they are not so good on damp greasy surfaces. I've used Goodyear for years, but will be looking elsewhere next time.
