Goodyear Efficientgrip Performance - User reviews

Previously, I had a not-so-optimistic view on Gooyear tyres. However, in spring 2013 I had to buy new tyres (size 205/55R16). By reading tests and reviews (only a few back then), I decided to take a risk and buy Goodyear Efficientgrip Performance tyres. Out of two leading brands, Goodyear and Dunlop, I decided to get Goodyear. As for now, I have driven 6500 miles. The grip on any surface type (wet or dry) is very good. Braking is superb, handling is very confident and quite fast, without any delays (but I can feel it’s not as fast as it was on my previous Dunlop SP Sport 01 tyres). The driving comfort on Goodyear Efficientgrip Performance is similar to winter tyres (I use Uniroyal MS 66), so I find it higher than on my previous summer Dunlops. Noise level is relatively low. When it comes to wear, my front tyres wore down by 0,7 mm and rear by only 0,4 mm (I checked them with tread meter after purchase and they were at perfect 8,0 mm). So I find it quite good. My driving style is moderate. Tread pattern is nice, it’s not revolutionary but it’s fine. Sidewall also looks good. Overall, I find Goodyear Efficientgrip Performance worth buying. I personally recommend them despite my point of view about the company, as for now they are good and I am satisfied with the purchase.

Goodyear Efficientgrip Performance are great tyres, but not for use in a big city. They are very soft (sidewalls), you have to watch out when parking near a high curb. It gives an impression of under-inflation despite the correct air pressure. When the car stands unevenly, I have an impression of a flat tyre. They are also sensitive to air pressure. My previous Dunlop tyres were a lot better. However, despite the fact they are a bit louder, due to low rololing resistance of Goodyear Efficientgrip Performance my car consumes 0,2 l of fuel less on route, and I drive accross the country at least 5 times a year. The average consumption of my Skoda Fabia 1.4 TDI was ca. 3,6 l and now it's 3,4 l with three people (two kids) and full load on board. In the city it's 0,5 l less - from 4,5 l to 4 liters.

which is very good tire, but is very sorft. If you drive fast and you quickly on the corners the tire will give you a good grip but you lost your tire in a few months.

For me, the choice was obvious. My previous Goodyear tires also. It was not a surprise to me fluidity with which the car is moving. Very low rolling resistance make the car runs. If you release the gas, the car very slowly loses speed. The tires are quiet, even on uneven roads. It is difficult for them to break traction despite the dynamic driving. I would definitely recommend to anyone who wants to safely przejeździć the next few years.

I drove on the tires max. 50 thousand miles to a large extent outside the city, and perhaps less, and are to be replaced. A big plus for uptime. The tire is doing great in the rain and on dry roads. Even a quick change of direction is not derived from the balance of the car, which once saved my life.

Superb grip on wet and dry surfaces, low resistance lupus, unfortunately 69dB on the label is a lie. The tire is loud.

Excellent tires for a moderate price. I drove them 2.5 years in the previous, now 4 years at present - I had the front of Fulda, but swapped, even for traction in the rain, the volume of the combustion - no comparison recommend to all
