Goodyear EfficientGrip Performance Reviews

Goodyear EfficientGrip Performance Owner Reviews

What owners say summarised from 223 reviews

Across 223 reviews averaging 75.1%, most owners describe the Goodyear EfficientGrip Performance as a quiet, comfortable tyre 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.

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 tyres. But overall, very good.
Longevity remains to be seen. I will report back after I've killed them!

Excellent tyres 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 tyres a proper work out yet, but utterly stable in the wet, and ludicrously quiet. A real cracker so far.

I just bought this tyre 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 tyre, 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 tyre. I suggest people who want to buy it.

Can't comment on wear as these tyres are relatively new and I've only had them for a short while.
In all other respects however, these tyres 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 tyre 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

I have only driver 10000Km with it but I believe it is the best tire i ever had in my car. It also has the among the highest marks on the European Labeling System with A in wet grip , B in Fuel efficiency and 68db.

I would definitely buy it again.
