Goodyear EfficientGrip 185/65 R15 92 H XL

Better than the previous model - Excellence, it is the third model Goodyear where I go and actually are getting better, I wonder what will be the next model :)

Fair tyres, you can whisk them as pressure on the route is almost not hear them, car feels much better.

I bought the Goodyear EfficientGrip tyres for my Ford Focus Mk2 estate 1.8 TDCi. I was very pleased with them for the first 1000 miles. And then it all turned sour. The tyres are fitted to a car with freshly adjusted wheel alignment, on new Dezent alloy wheels, all brake discs in the car are new. After this 1000 miles I started to feel vibrations on the steering wheel, first up from 50 MPH, now from 45 already. The service has re-balanced the wheels – with no avail. They have examined the tyres on a balancer with road test function – it appeared one tyre was faulty, so it was sent for a complaint. I put my old Michelin tyres on the rear, but the vibrations didn’t stop. The rest of the Goodyear EfficientGrip tyres is unfortunately within Goodyear’s standards. I can see that my case is not the only one of such kind. In my opinion, these tyres are too rough and as they wear off, their quality also drops significantly. Unfortunately, I will have to throw them out (along with my 300 pounds) and go back to Michelin tyres. Because of that, I don’t recommend getting Goodyear EfficientGrip tyres.

Goodyear EfficientGrip are the tyres I have fitted to my newly bought Ford Mondeo (160 BHP). I drive passenger cars a lot (company cars) and I try my best to buy safe tyres (not necessarily cheap ones) from various brands. I have done 15 thousand miles in two months and now I can objectively rate their quality. Goodyear EfficientGrip are one of the best tyres I have ever driven on, definitely the quietest ones. They provide great braking on both wet and dry surface. I didn’t notice the phenomenon other users did – the one about the vibrations (I can go 115 MPH on the motorway and nothing strange happens to them). In the corners they seem to be a bit too soft in aggressive driving. I’m not able to rate fuel consumption change as these are the original equipment tyres in a new car, but when it comes to rolling resistance, I think I can see the difference as guaranteed by the manufacturer when compared to other cars I drove. Generally, I find Goodyear EfficientGrip a very good tyre and I can recommend it with a clear conscience.
