I HAVE HAD GOODYEAR TYRES FOR ABOUT TWENTY FIVE YEARS AND ALTHOUGH I DRIVE VANS THE TYRES ARE NOT UP TO THE STANDARD SET BY GOODYEAR.AND I WILL KEEP BUYING GOODYEAR TYRES, THE EFFICIENTGRIP PERFORMANCE TYRES ARE EXCELLENT

hey lasted about 60-70K km. Urban drive mostly and extraurban with speeds up to 140km/h. Until their final days i could not make them lose grip in any circumstance. Wet or Dry. I bought them again. For their price there are very few other options that offer the same features.

Replaced all four of the Michelin Energy Saver tires on my gen 2 Toyota Prius. Chose them because there was a Goodyear discount going on, which saved me almost € 100 on 4 tires. While the Michelin's lasted almost 80.000 km on the front and 95.000 km on the back, all 4 Goodyears were destroyed after 40.000 km with identical driving style. To me, none of the other scores matter if it has less than half the life in it. I didn't save € 100, but it cost me another set of tires after just 1,5 years. Which of course went on to become Michelin's again.

Excellent tires!

It was comfortable for the first 25000 miles but now it is not... +

bought them based on good reviews , to replace stock bridgestone er300 which were very loud . EGP were fantastic and gripped all the way down to 3 mil when they started a little bit of start off spin . much quieter then er300 ,
bit boaty on the soft sidewalls , and they can tear up of kerbs due to crap rim protection did 25k miles 40 km . prob would have got another 2 k miles out of them but had chance to change ( back to the orig er300 ) but once these are gone its back to EGP . suits a smaller car , not sure if a bigger car can work on them .
but for a small car , a damn great tire.

A brilliant tire sadly flawed. These tires replaced a cheap set fitted before the car was purchased. They transformed the handling in the wet. With the old tires the car would under-steer horrifically at the mere site of a puddle. The new ones allowed the car to corner as if on rails in the wet. It became a totally different car inspiring confidence in all conditions. Feed back was excellent and the ride was smooth and quiet. The downside was the wear. The rear tires had to be changed with about 5mm of tread left as they had distorted so the surface resembled a 50p coin. Not only could vibration be felt coming up through the floor but you could see the distortion when the wheel was taken off. Then weird vibrations started coming from front. I had several independent examinations carried out, all the steering and suspension checked, wheels checked for balance, etc. Nothing wrong. Finally, the vibration was traced back to the tires that distort and cause vibration when under certain load. The walls were found to be soft at the shoulder as if the tire had been run flat and damaged the ply. New tires, of a different make were fitted and now no vibration. They may suit some cars, possibly lighter ones, but I won't be buying any more until this issue has been cleared up which is a shame as when new they were brilliant.

I came from a set of Continental Ecocontact 5 tires. The grip with these tires is staggering. Although not a performance car by any stretch of the imagination I hold my IAM certificate and have done many driving courses over the years as I enjoy driving quickly but safely (and legally).

These tires did return around 3-4mpg less than the Continentals and the road noise was a lot louder but it was worth it for the grip. These are the XL version which would have contributed to the slightly better handling having stiffer sidewalls.

I bought these tires to replace the Pirellis on my Alfa Romeo Giulietta, even though the Pirellis were hardly worn. The difference is staggering. I have complete confidence in the Goodyears and they're a whole lot quieter and much more comfortable than Cinturato P7s too. Wet grip is brilliant and braking distances seem to be very much shorter. The only downside is that they appear to be a slightly softer compound than the Pirellis so they grip better but maybe won't be as long-lasting. I can live with that though as the Goodyears are clearly a much better all-round tire. In short, they really suit the car. Living in a rural location, I have to depend on having sporty and reliable tires. For that reason, I rate the Goodyears and will fit them again next time without question.

These tires are simply superb. I don't quite have a full set (my left rear is some budget thing that I've never heard of - soon to be changed). But the other three tires do a sterling job of keeping me out of trees, other people's houses, other people themselves and and the general ecosystem in which we all have to live and breathe. I do quite like to get a move on, even in the rain, and these tires grip like there is no tomorrow. And even when they do let go, they seem to be very progressive, and I have plenty of time to look in the instruction manual to see how I should be addressing the situation. I did have one spin, in icy conditions, going round a right hander (where most of the load would be on the left tires - see earlier comment), but even that is not enough to put me off these things. Not too expensive, quiet, seems to last (especially considering how I drive). And also quite tough. I feel very safe driving on these things. Can't really ask for more than that. Can't wait till I have a full set!

I drive them on my Golf MK5 only during summer time. 2.5 years old now.
Drove them for 27.000km and they are down from 8mm to 5.7mm tread. I do rotate them front and back regularly.
Cons:
-the only big downside is the road noise, which isn't on the table here and I can't score it in this review. The tires are a bit noisy, especially on rough surface, you can hear them quite well inside the cabin.

Pros:
-The grip is tricky. Most of the time is phenomenal. Grips almost like a sport tire, especially on curvy roads. But, on a very smooth surface the wheels spin easily when I floor the car in 2nd gear. But the tire never left me down during spirited driving, I am confident it will stick in the next corner. The grip is still here, and its the same as when they were new.
-Build. Tire is strong. Its not easy to damage it or bend it. It looks solid. No damage what so ever. After 27.000km it is still a great tire, with 10-30 grams weights on the balancing machine, it feels like new.
-Wear is good. Most of my driveing is slow, around town with occasional wheel spin just for fun. My driving on open roads is spirited. The wear is only average, but you get a tire that sticks to the road, not some plastic junk that will slide out of the corner. So I think average treadware is good compromise for great grip and handling.
-Comfort is average. Not too hard, not soft. Like most summer tires.
-Stability on rain was great, except for this one time, when I got scary aquaplaning at 90kmh for 2 seconds. Now I don't feel so safe anymore :( Maybe its because they are down to 5.7mm.
-Resistance to roll. Economy. The tire has extremely low resistance to roll. Much much lower than the my winter tires.
-I don't think there is a better tire for the money. I'd buy it again. Hope they can fix the noise problem. If they do, it will be the best tire in its class.

Comfortable and quite tires with very soft sidewalls. Average handling and feedback.
