Goodyear EfficientGrip Performance 2 Reviews - Page 2

Given 60% while driving a Skoda Kamiq (205/60 R16) on mostly town for 2,500 average miles
This is an initial review - they came with a brand new Skoda Kamiq. The rubber is fresh, when feeling it - it is not hard. DOT indicates manufacture in 2024.
I have very mixed opinion of these tires. I will make a follow up in a couple of years how they are behaving.

The upside - they are quiet. They have low rolling resistance. To the level that I did manage to pull off very good mileage when driving conservatively. After 4000km it is not possible to say that they are wearing fast or slow. Handling is very good - a new car so any downsides should be visible already. Great during the summer, tried braking hard - very good traction. Slippage minimal.

The downside - these tyres are meant for driving over 10 degrees Celsius and dry. Wet handling and braking is very bad, especially for a premium brand. They slip easily, lots of understeer. It is very easy to lose traction when trying to take off on a green light - come on, this is 1.0 tsi, this does not have all that power to be able to skid - and I am not talking about pushing the metal to the pedal - I am talking normal driving. I will be changing to winter tyres sooner, because in the mixed weather they are straight dangerous !

I have another car with Nexen mid range tyres, 2 years old, and they behave far, far better in the wet than these Goodyears.

Something is wrong with these tyres. This is a third time that the OEM tyres that come with the vehicle behave like this - as if for OEM the manufacturer traded grip for longevity. Same was with Pirelli Cinturato P4 on Grande Punto (140000km to 2mm), same was with Bridgestone ER on Opel Meriva (90000km to 4mm)

Oh well, maybe my luck!

Given 87% while driving a Skoda Octavia estate (225/45 R17) on mostly motorways for 180,000 easy going miles
I am a taxi driver, mostly drive motorway. I had these tyres on current car and 2 previous cars.
On current car the front lasted 100,000 miles and at the back 180,000 still in legal limits. I am about to buy another 4 tyres.

Toyota Auris (195/65 R15) on mostly motorways for 28 easy going miles
It is the best tire i have ever use. I don't drive at the edge! so what i can tell you is excelent handling, excelent comfort, very low noise. I think that they are going to be be the most long lasting tires i have ever bought. 45.000 Km until now and still going!

There's a new all season tire, can it be best?!
Given 93% while driving a Ford Focus MK3 (215/50 R17) on a combination of roads for 50,000 average miles
This tyres last a lot. I had them for 85.000km and still going strong and I did not rotate them.
From time to time I had to check the alignment and that's it.
The originals Michelin Primacy Hp were very bad and they had to go after 85.000 km and after rotating them. at around 60.000km.
The last 20.000 were a pain.
Highly recommend them.

Given 80% while driving a Mercedes Benz C220 cdi (195/65 R15) on mostly motorways for 17,300 miles
Good tires but a bit short on longevity, 17,300 km on the rear with a rear-wheel drive. But it's the tread pattern that bothers me because I have a sedan and the tread pattern of the tire is more for a city car. I have 3 minutes left and yet most of the tire's pattern has disappeared.

Given 91% while driving a Ford Focus 2.0 TDCI Titanium (205/55 R16) on mostly motorways for 32 average miles
I drove well over 50.000 km with this tyre, from new to ... well, not worn, because there was still plenty of tread left, but at the beginning of the third season with them, they became quite loud, which was bothering me a lot. took them for a check and as we took the tyre of we noticed that sidewalls were a bit soft, but still safe and normally drivable. if it weren't for the noise - I would still be driving them. in fact, my brother in law has them now and are still going strong.

tyre is super comfortable, super fuel efficient (after them I fitted the car with Michelin Primacy 4+ which never got close to them), offers plenty of grip in all driving scenarios (bar the winter time, they were never meant for use in snow), are quiet and ... just go. if I weren't on a tight budget after changing the car, they would definitely be installed again on my new car.

Given 76% while driving a Nissan Sentra (225/45 R17) on mostly motorways for 43,500 average miles
It can fully meet the needs of general road use. More than 60% of my tires are used on highways, with a mileage of more than 70,000 kilometers. The tread depth is now about 1.8~2.2mm. If you don’t want to change to other brands of tires, EGP2 is the best choice. Can consider buying again

Tyres was OK but just at it's 8th month started to crack all over. Turkey very hot place and I think this tire not suits here.

Given 44% while driving a BMW 320i (225/50 R17) on a combination of roads for 1,300 average miles
These are EXTREMELY NOISY tyres. My car is BMW F30 320 iA xDrive and the winter tyres I have (Continental VikingContact 7) are very quiet - can't hear almost anything from the tyres. But these Goodyear summer tyres - oh my.... Horrible noise even at low speeds. During wet conditions the noise is much worse.
I regret buying these and will replace them with some other brand even though I have driven only 2 000 km with these.
Interestingly Goodyear Efficient Grip 1 tyres were good and quiet on my BMW 530 but this 2-version is just an epic fail.

Given 83% while driving a Hyundai i20 (205/55 R16) on a combination of roads for 3,000 spirited miles
Been for 5000 kilometers I think it's a very balanced tire between wet and dry, I think you can safely push a normal car to the limit without any handling or breaking
problem.. I think I would buy it again
