In this article we will be looking at independent tire test data, and real world driver reviews of the Goodyear EfficientGrip Performance 2 and the Pirelli Cinturato P7 C2 to find out which tire is best for your own driving.
The good news is that both the Goodyear EfficientGrip Performance 2 and Pirelli Cinturato P7 C2 are Premium Touring Summer tires designed to be fitted to Passenger Cars, which means comparing the two tires is relatively simple.
Both tires are hugely popular in the market place with drivers, and both have been featured in independent tire tests.
Independent comparison tire tests are the best source of data to get tire information from, and the good news is there have been thirteen tests which compare both tires directly!
Out of these thirteen tests:
The Goodyear EfficientGrip Performance 2 and Pirelli Cinturato P7 C2 have an equal number of test wins. However, tires are very complicated objects which means where one tire is better than the other can be more important in real world use.
Let's look at how the two tires compare across multiple tire test categories.
Looking at data from eleven tire tests, the Pirelli Cinturato P7 C2 was better during ten dry braking tests. On average the Pirelli Cinturato P7 C2 stopped the vehicle in 2.05% less distance than the Goodyear EfficientGrip Performance 2.

Overall Winner: Goodyear EfficientGrip Performance 2
Based on the tire test data and user reviews we have in our database, the Goodyear EfficientGrip Performance 2 has demonstrated better overall performance in this comparison. However, as you can see from the spider diagram above, each tire has its own strengths which should be considered in your final tire buying choice.Looking for more tire comparisons? Here are other direct comparisons involving these tires:
This page has been developed using tire industry testing best practices. This means we are only comparing tests which have had both tires in the same test.
Why is this important? Tire testing is heavily affected by things like surface grip levels and surface temperature, which means you can only compare values from the same day. During a tire test external condition changes are calculated into the overall results, but it is not possible to calculate this between tire tests performed on different days or at different locations.
As a result you will see other tests on Tire Reviews which feature both the %s and %s, but as they weren't conducted on the same day, the results are not comparable.
Lots of other websites do this sort of tire comparison, Tire Reviews doesn't.
