Had to do 3 genuine emergency stops 2 in the dry 1 with surface water and the car stopped far faster than I expected. Very pleased with braking. Handling is good and predictable, sufficient feedback to know what is going on. They are quite and my fuel consumption got 2mpg better. The one area that is truly outstanding, in fact so good I had to check my receipt for mileage when fitted. The wear is at least 50% better than the Michelin premacy 4 I had on before or the Hankook's before them. Considering the grip is very good to also get outstanding long life is truly amazing. I will definitely buy again and have recommended these tires to family and friends

Renault Clio 1.6 GT line sports tourer petrol 2011 . Previous tires Michelin energy saver plus which delaminated. and heavy cracking Great tires for wear Now unavailable Replaced with Goodyear Efficient Grip 2. Wider tire with Rim protection which is very nice. Good looking tire three tread.groves on this size 8.5 mm new. Total Transformation on Ride Quality Comfort and Noise. Waited 6 months for these tires to come through on sizing. 195 50 16 88V Extra Load Tires made In France Noticeably stronger stopping on dry roads and excellent responce on steering and stopping on resent heavy rain and downpours. Very stable at Motorway speeds and again very quite Vehicle feels Far more secure and responsive. Fuel consumption has improved also . Well worth the patience wating for these tires. Treadwear 360 on sidewalls . To early to assess wear but I am sure these superb tires will fullfill all promises from all the reviews on the tire tests. Anyone considering these tires just go and buy them.

This tire is the best I have worn in my car. I recommend it to everyone.

Good grip in the dry. Low nise. Comfortable Very good road feed back

10 out of 10 . ive got 4 goodyear efficient grip performance 2 on my audi a3 they are a very good quality premium tires for great grip which is excellent in all weathers and perfect tires for high miles that i do on motorways.

Bought these tires in May 2020 and ever since I am truly happy with them. I had many others like Michelin Primacy 4 which wore out quicker than my slippers and Turanza ones which were deadly in the slightest wet conditions. So after these reading the actual test of these I bought them 17months ago and never had an issue with them. Good grip on wet road without slipping, less road noise than any of the previous tires I had before, wear is minimal after 13000 miles. Just swap them around once a year and they will be fine. Tire pressure on front 2.2-2.3 Bar and 1.8-1.9 in the rear.

Replaced Efficient Grip 1 with Efficient Grip 2. The '2' tires are NOISY and sing like the sand tires on an army truck, not quite so loudly. The singing is noticeable at all speeds up to about 60mph when the noise is drowned out by other noise. Goodyear suggest checking the tracking (done, no effect) or putting the '2' tires on the rear as well (not done, then there would be twice the noise!). The tread blocks appear to have some scrambling of geometry (which is usually done to prevent singing), but perhaps not enough. I don't understand how Goodyear have got this so wrong.

A massive improvement between the rainsport 5 that I had. Directivity is one of the tire that I had!

I just bought the Goodyear EfficientGrip Performance 2 one month ago and drove them for 2900 km together with my my 2014 Golf Sportscombi 2,0 TDI 150 bhp I bought the same day. These tires are the most silent ones I have ever experienced. And with the initial tread depth of 8,8 mm they will last me forever, I think. One of the amazing things is the lack of rollling resistance. My 2014 Golf Sportscombi 2,0 TDI 150 bhp delivers an average of 23,6 km/l and I am so impressed. These are my first GoodYear Tires. They are not the last.

Excellent all round tire

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.

I like to push the tires to the limit on different roads. I never go "Full Nukage" mode on them though. I got 225/50/R17 94W DOT 3820 ones, Goodyear Efficientgrip performance 2, made in Poland. My 1st impression was that, when I go a bit more aggressive into a 90 degree corner - it gives a feeling like side wall of the tire is made from foam/sponge material. Too soft for my type of driving. Same is with high speed corners on a high way. It doesn't give me much confidence( racing line entered and left the corner, just for fun since no one was around ). Even though I knew I will exit the corner (with these new tires ) with no problems, at that speed - I felt insecure. I am well aware this is not racing, high performance, ultra ect tire...But it felt like I'm driving like Viking budget tire or something ( Yes, I drove on those, also on several premium ones). :) I was at my friends place the other day. At that point I had only front ones EffiGrip performance 2, and I left 2 older ones ( effigrip 1) on the rear wheels. We looked at the tires and compared side walls at exactly the same tire pressure - effigrip performance 2 looked like they are deflated. Side wall was round, and on my older ones side wall was almost straight ( Yes, I know the car is heavier at the front, ofc, but difference was huge anyways). In my opinion - this is a tire for smoother ride, safer ride. Compare to effigrip performance 1 - older one was more sporty, more direct when you get pedal to the floor. You get that secure feeling, like the tire is telling you: " We're at the limit, but don't worry, I got you..." . Then you correct the throttle and exit from the corner with the smile on your face. With effigrip 2 is more like - aight, that went better than I felt it will through middle of the corner. Braking was very good, and judging by my computers data - car loves these tires when it comes to fuel economy. Tires that I had before these were Efficientgrip performance 1 ( or original, or w/e you wanna call it). It just gives the feeling these new ones are just too soft on the side wall when entering corner. There is no that "snappy feeling" you get from Performance 1 when you're entering the corner. That almost instant change of direction. Comfort - hands down, more confortable than EffGrip Performance 1 ( probably due to different design and softer side wall. Buy again - Nope. Not the tire for my type of driving. Will probably keep therm until next summer. EffGrip performance 1 was just better for me. EfficientGrip Performance 1 - good and comfortable tire that can surprise you how good it can be when sometimes you want to have some fun in the corners at higher speeds. EfficientGrip Performance 2 - good and comfotable. It is good in cornering. Not a confidence booster, doesn't provide lots of feedback = No fun when you want to have some. I hope I helped with this observation since I had an opportunity to compare effigrip 1 and 2 on my car, and give my thoughts about it. Anyways, I'll be changing these for some other. Maybe Eagle f1 or maybe other manufacturer. Cheers and thank you, Filip.
