Overall, drivers report the Goodyear EfficientGrip SUV delivers confident on-road performance, with many praising strong dry and wet grip, stable handling, and a quiet, comfortable ride versus common OEM alternatives. Higher-scoring reviews also frequently note respectable to excellent tread life and, for some vehicles, improved fuel efficiency. However, a smaller but notable group report durability-related issues such as soft/fragile sidewalls (damage from impacts/run-flat events) and noise increasing with age, and a minority describe disappointing grip or rapid wear on their vehicles.

This is the third car I've fitted with these tyres (2 Volvo Estates and a RAV4) and have now driven a total of over 100,000 miles on them. I appreciate we don't get extremes of weather here in the UK, but I've never had a grip problem on the wet roads of North Wales and I don't find the road noise excessive either (despite some reviews mentioning noise). I am comfortable in recommending these tyres for everyday driving during all 4 seasons.
I have done nearly 56,000km with this set (3 years), every 20,000km I put the front-back and vice versa. Very happy with dry and wet grip, snow grip is relatively poor. They are getting worn now so next set will be an all weather set, since I seldom need the snow grip.

I have had the New Ford Everest fitted with these tyres and i have some concerns. The car is sitting on 42000 km and they are begining to flake. The handling on the car does concerns me as the grip is not what I expected. Noise level is good, very comfortable drive but on turning corners or slightly curved roads i am careful. I find the rubber compound to soft for the vehicle and as mentioned earlier, flaking is slight.
Bought a set of 4 in Nov 2013. They were quite and grippy.
After a year, they started to get noisy but grip was still superb both on wet and dry condotions.
After 2 years, tread groove cracks started to happen. (I live in the Philippines though as summer temp can reach as high as 40 deg celsius so roads can be scorching hot.
1. grip wet and dry road performance are good
2. The performance of the fuel in the 90KM / H no significant difference can reach 16KM / L, but in the dry ground , the speed at 110KM fuel consumption is reduced to less than the speed 12KM / L, wet pavement performance is up to 15KM / L, the overall fuel consumption for the project performance is not satisfactory. increase fuel consumption by 25%.
3. In the comfort of the project , there is no better than the original tire performance , but it is easy to noisy vibration .
4. The wear rate performance is good, but because of an increase of 25 % of fuel consumption , will spend more money on the part of oil resources .
Overall, if both run on a wet road is safe and appropriate , on a dry road surface noise is adversely on fuel consumption and comfort
On a Nissan Xtrail. Paid top price for them $220 AUD a corner. Supposedly a 90/10 road off road tyre.
second worst tyre I've ever owned, the worst being retreads I got for free.
WIthin 5,000 kms they were chewed out from going on a 1km stretch of gravel once a month.
Goodyear shop advised they shouldn't be used on gravel...even though they sold them to me for that purpose.
They lasted 55,000 kms in total.
They were quiet for the first ~10,000 and got progressively louder, they are now very loud.
Grip in dry is bad, in wet is terrible. I easily spin wheels in the dry on a slight incline.
I'll never buy goodyear again after this. Which is a shame cause the best tyres I've ever had were goodyear (F1 eagle I think the were...that was 15 years ago)
Bought six, lost three, unreliable. It have really bad side. Two times i accidentally run flat less then 100m and side was completely destroyed. And one time the finger thick stick pinched huge patch in the side wall. I see that people sell used tires for 4x4. I will do this too, because such tires can kill me and/or my car.
Put a set on my jeep patriot and the grip was unbelievable! Drove like a sports car, chucked it into corners and it just gripped, never found the limit before I sold the car. Really good tyres, did a bit off soft off roading and they performed well, never spun or struggled for traction. Would definitely recommend to anyone over any other tyres I tried on the jeep, especially the continentals it originally came with
