Goodyear EfficientGrip Performance Reviews - Page 8

Given 76% while driving a Alfa Romeo 1.9 JTD M (225/45 R17) on mostly motorways for 35,476 average miles
Tires performed pretty well. Was surprised how low the tread was when it came time to replace them as they had worn about 1-2mm deeper than I was expecting them to have done after 12 months motorway driving (compared to some el-cheapo alternatives that I had before), but dry/wet grip and stability was much improved.

Can't say I noticed any difference from the A-rated efficiency or noise categories, so have selected the Goodyear Eagle F1's this time around to try instead.

Overall decent tire, no major complaints.

Given 90% while driving a Volkswagen Golf 1.9 Tdi (195/65 R15) on a combination of roads for 24,000 average miles
Car - VW Golf Mk4 estate 2001 1.9tdi 115.
Factory standard car on 140k miles, but fully sorted and balanced.
Advanced professional driver, car used daily on mixture of journey types including higher speed journeys on autobahn.
Superbly comfortable tires with low noise at all speeds. During progressive drives tires afford good grip but being a 65 profile, feel rather squishy, with a fair amount of roll. Please take into account the older model of car when reading this!
Great at dealing with Britains potholed roads!
24100 miles driven over 2 years 8 months. Very good value for money indeed.
Two punctures repaired on both front and rear offside tires during use. Tires rotated from front to rear during use. Removed from car at 3.5mm tread remaining.
Replaced with same tires, says how pleased with these tires I am!

These tires were on the car when I bought the car Jan 2015, Ive only changed them this month jan 2017 Ive gone for the exact same tires again.
Incredible tires, the way they are made is fantastic. I recommend watching the full video of the one above.
They are great in the dry, but I think they are better in the wet. In extreme rainy days, through deep puddles at 60mph on the motorway the car holds so well, no aquaplaning at all, superb grip and even better braking.
I drive an Audi A3 2008 and I know the brakes are very good anyway but coupled with these good year tires my word, you can actually stop on a postage stamp. In the rain.
When I changed the tires, the garage told me they are 5 years old.
They perform so well right to the end. Petrol consumption is great also. I got them for 115 a tire fitted, the money saved on petrol plus the life of them, thats a steal.
I always feel safe knowing my car wears these tires. Conteol assured.

Passed on these tires killometrov 8000. I expected more from them. On a wet road is great, too, with kofortom all ok. But the car's handling is poor. My winter Marshal which is 2 times cheaper rides much better.

Given 91% while driving a Mazda 6 (225/55 R17 W) on a combination of roads for 45,000 average miles
Great tire, I would recommend paying that little bit more and getting these. Apart from lasting 45000 miles on the front of my 2013 Mazda 6 without rotating, these are quiet and efficient tires. From the efficiency point of view don't expect massive jump in figures but I measured between 3-5 mpg improvement. When you first have these fitted you'll notice straight away you have to let off the accelerator sooner when coming to junctions as the rolling resistance is low and doesn't slow you down! They are pretty quiet to begin with but like any tire as the tread gets to the minimum the noise increases a little. Wet handling is great and they even squeal in the wet if pushed hard!

Hey people,


left a review on 29th of september and here I'am 13,000km's later (8000miles more or less) with 3 months of usage.
my overall statements didnt change much but I would like to say:


Pros:

1) excellent aquaplaning resistance , these tires are what is needed for F1 drivers in rain I mean the only word that comes to mind is AMAZING, you feel extremely confident in rain , deep puddles etc not a bit of movement ,steering pull etc very well balanced and stable.


2) so far wear is not as bad as described, 13000kms mostly aggresive driving and I still can say they atleast appear as they did when I bought them.


Cons:

1) braking,grip is not the best in dry infact almost every tire brand including falkens outperform these tires with ease.

2) user has to be very careful with tire pressure, these tires require a good 2-3psi more over the recommend door labeled OEM spec as the walls are too soft.

not doing so causes tires to be underinflated and feel sloopy and most likely wear faster and uneven.

Good year Efficient grip performance tires when compared to the set of hardly worn budget tires fitted to my used approved vehicle when purchased, are in a different league. The premier league.

For my car they may cost roughly double per corner (approx. £95) compared to a budget brand but at the end of the day, a tire is the only thing between being on the road or in an accident.

After switching from a part worn budget set (the rears still had 7mm) to the Goodyear EGP’s the differences were simply vast and remain very impressive several thousand miles later. The fronts are now approaching the half way stage, but are still excellent in all areas with improved MPG (approx. 3mpg), reduced road noise and improved refinement (particularly on Motorway), superb wet handling and braking, improved ride quality due to compliant side walls and tramlining completely eliminated from my vehicle. The only slightly negative things I can find to say about them are the wear rate looks a little bit above average and drivers who like to drive believing they are Lewis Hamilton may find them a touch ‘soft’ in the corners, but honestly that is it. The Goodyear EGP’s are some of the best overall tires I have purchased in over 25 years and hundreds of thousands of miles driving.

Cheap tires are a false economy which compromise the safety and handling of your vehicle. Don’t compromise and strongly consider these for your vehicle.

Excelent performance both on dry and wet, and quiet on the road. But they lasted only 26.000kms/16.000mls, with normal driving in city and motorways without high speeds. They maintain the good performance till the end, even with it's high wear they have good traction and decent wet behavior.

I bought these after having Yokohama tires as standard. First thing i noticed was that the side walls are very soft but this doesn't make them particularly sloppy, instead it allows you to feel the limits of grip very easily and these tires are very grippy under all areas even though they are rated b for fuel economy which is good! Wet traction is almost as good as dry. also stopping distances in the dry was brilliant. These tires are also very quiet.

Just a good tire for a city car like a Fiat 500. Good grip in dry and wet.

I drove 80% motorway, 10% city and 10% country roads at normal speed. The tires are better con dry and wet compare Michelín Energy Saber but after 38.000kms the fronter tires hace only 1,6mm. Very high wear.
