Very good tire for tourist use. Without being anywhere top, it manages to be everywhere, for me, above 8/10. It does understeer in the rain when driving fast, but it wasn't made for that. Quiet to ride and well priced, overall a very safe and honest tire. I put it back after 45000km (27500miles) On VW Golf 7.5 1.0tsi dsg!

I have had these tires for about 2 years now. Wear and tear is almost none. The sound feedback is loud. Handling on highspeed curves is great, dry grip is exceptional. Every bump, chip, crack, and pothole on the road sounds like a hammer but you can really feel the road and its dimensions, grip, angles, resistance etc. and can really punch it dynamically.

These are the factory tires the new vehicle came with. After two years of use, I highlight the wear as positive, they remain almost intact. In relation to dry grip, it does not meet my expectations, it tends to skid easily when accelerating hard (my experience can be somewhat biased since the vehicle does not have electronic stability and grip aids, therefore a better equipped car could have better performance). In the wet, the grip is lousy when accelerating, it must be accelerated slowly and progressively, it does not allow quick exits because it is very slippery, while in motion it maintains adequate grip on the road and in simple curves. I don't know their value but I would not pay much for them, I will definitely change for another with better performance when the time comes, useful for day to day but if it falters when demanding them with an average utility car, I imagine that it will be worse in one with better features.

I am using for 85000 kms and it was good over all. The problem was sidewall soft but goodyear made it very well. It was quiet. But last 20000kms it was little bit abs working and wheelspin. 50000 kms is enough for this tire. If you want to buy this tire again, don't, just buy the newest generation efficientgrip performance 2. I bought it today. Sidewalls are harder and comfy. I will write midlife review later.

Fitted these to my mk 7 Fiesta 1.25 and i am very pleased with the performance. The road noise is low, comfort good (at pressures for two people) and dry grip limit has not yet been found, corners tightens up?, just turn it some more, no drama.
Wet grip seems excellent, no issues even in heavy rain. Only downsides are price and that they only last about 15000 miles at what can only be described as gentle use. I will buy again.

I put the Goodyear Efficient Grip Performance tires on my Ford Galaxy 8000 miles (2 years) ago and they were much quieter than the original fitment. I wanted a quiet tire and I got it. I can't comment on any other driving limits or characteristics as I drive sensibly and frugally. The tires just get on with it without fuss. I left this review because I am so pleased with the reduced road noise.

These tires were on a toyota fielder hybrid import i purchased, look new, plenty of tread, nice looking tire, but i find them very noisey esp on country sealed roads with larger aggregate surfaces. Grip seems goods both wet n dry, if there was a more quite tire same price id get that next.
