After 12,000 km, the tread has only worn down about 1 mm, so the wear looks good to me. In terms of comfort, they soak up bumps far better than the Premium Contact 6 I had previously. Aquaplaning resistance is also noticeably improved, giving me more confidence on rainy days. Overall, this is a quiet, comfortable tire, perfect for long drives. I’d absolutely buy them again!
This was a bit of a mistake..... These EfficientGrip 2 SUV don't like cold/rainy weather. I expected better grip but the car is sliding in corners and loses grip when driving away (high torque diesel). I really have to drive carefully in the rain because the Jeep Renegade awd system kicks in when the front loses grip.
In the dry these Goodyear are very good and comfortable. Perfect for holiday travels during the summer....
But i also use the Trailhawk on muddy gravel roads and wet grass meadows. In tyre tests this EfficientGrip 2 SUV should be top of the range for "moderate off road use", but this is not my experience. No grip at all! So don't try to take a trailer into a meadow or on a bit muddy/wet gravel trail, you'll get stuck....
In my opinion this tyre is probably best suitable for warmer regions.
