Fitted these Goodyear Efficient Grip Performance 2 on my Ford Focus, immediately after driving out of the tire fitment centre I felt the steering to be much lighter and smoother. As driving on the highway it felt smooth and grippy, also very quiet. Absolutely a pleasure of a tire and also has a sportier sidewall look to it when admiring my car from the side. Previously had Continental Premium Contact 2 which wore out very quicky, I replaced them the second time with the same Continental only to learn that the Continental wears out too fast and is also more expensive, it also chips of pieces of the tire as it gets worn out. I will never use Continental again, it's marketed as a great tire but I think that the Goodyear is better. The Continental also made my steering feel tight and I thought that the car was built that way. With the Goodyear tires I am actually enjoying driving my car, it feels like a new car and I even took a longer route home just to feel the pleasure of these tires. The rolling resistance is also much better as compared to the Continental which felt like it is holding the car back. I read some reviews saying that the Goodyear has softer sidewall so that is my only concern now, hope that it don't pop on a pothole or something. Only dislike is it feels a little hard over the speed humps but the ford also has a stiffer suspension so that also could play a role. I have not gooten a chance to drive in wet conditions yet but I am guessing that it will do well in the wet too. Either way I love the feel of these tires, tried other tires on my cars but this one seems the best. Well done Goodyear team on the Efficient Grip Performance 2 tire.
