The greatest tire I have had so far.
I covered over 55000km in Citroen C5 (heavy luxury car) and they still have enough tread for another legal 10-15 k.
They have good grip overall and excellent stability for side wind etc
Highly recommended !!

These tires are excellent. The grip is very good in dry and excellent in wet roads. The traction control seems to be unnecessary. They are a lot more comfortable than the previous Continental PremiumContacts that I had on the same car. The grip is similar if not better. They wear very slowly and currently after 30000miles, they have still thread for at least 10000 more. Excellent choice.

The latest edition of Goodyear Efficient Grip Run Flat tires give a much better ride compared to the very hard ride of the original GY EG RFs fitted to my BMW X1. I just hope they give the same mileage.

Came fitted as standard on my vehicle from factory. Generally its a good tire. Grips well in dry and wet conditions. Has a quiet and comfortable ride and wears evenly. Fuel consumption is good when running these tires especially over long distance.
Its more of a tire for lwb motorway cruisers and chauffeurs than your hot hatch racer. Its well composed with good road manners and stopping distance is good to excellent.
The only reason I would not buy again is the price. For my style of driving and cruising I find a mid range tire like kumho does just as well but at a cheaper cost.

A good tire should have good grip first then work as advertised. Its one hell of a noisy tire with poor feedback.

the only good (or not so good) thing about this tire is that it will last forever! 40,000 miles and still well within the allowable range.

They should be called 'inefficient grip'.
My tire supplier fitted these in place of the Goodyear Excellence tires which I had been really happy with.
Whilst the grip levels in the dry were OK, in the wet they were dreadful - constant wheelspin when trying to pull away and no confidence when cornering.
There was also no improvement in fuel economy.
I definitely wouldn't recommend them, or buy them again.

Bought these after reading reviews. Cant fault the dry or wet grip. Not a sporty tire.
Biggest disappointment is the noise, supposed to be quiet but noise on all but the smoothest surfaces is terrible like a rumbling wheel bearing noise. Perhaps this tire doesnt suit my car, I dont know, but would not buy again. Hope they wear out quickly so I can get some different ones!

I have had 6 Efficient Grip and 2 Efficient Grip Performance in Total on my 55 plate Passat 1.9 TDIi. They are very quiet, have reasonable road holding, but not at extremes. They do give good consumption and better ewra than the OE Contisprts. However I would not recommend them unless you can guarantee never touching anything with the sidewalls, as they are made of cheese or something even softer. The first set developed a bulge in one of the tires after 8K miles, meaning it was not safe and had to be replaced. I then bo
bought another pair when they fronts wore out and had a catastrophic blow out after only 10 days, meaning another £80 quid as Merit Tire says it's down to the manufacturer to say whether there is a fault. Do not buy these tires if you have to drive anywhere with even the slightest of rough conditions, and don't expect any support from Goodyear when they do blow

Fairly good in the dry, I found them quite silent. But the grip is not so good as other premium brands like Continental, and in the wet they are garbage: it is difficult to have a good answer if you need an immediate brake. Not to buy again.

Great tire In all summer driving conditions. Good wear rate and excellent traction when dry and wet. Very quiet tire and very comfortable especially at cruising speeds. Better than Pirelli's that I've used, and as good but cheaper than Michelin tires.
For performance it's a great tire. Holds the road well and it's hard to loose traction in the corners when they are warmed up. Fuel consumption running these is good.
If the tires were cheaper I'd definitely buy again.

I had these tires for after the Bridgestone RE050A's that came with the car from new. When flooring it in second, I used to get tons of wheel judder and wheelspin with the RE050As so when I had these EfficientGrips put on the car, I was amazed at the traction. I could floor it and traction control wouldn't even cut in (on dry days).

I do agree that the tires have very soft sidewalls - I had to have both tires replaced at 7000 miles due to damage from pot holes in the road causing bubbles at the sides of the tire. The plus side of that is that the tires aren't very noisy (in my opinion) and the ride was a bit more comfortable from my stiff suspension!

Other than that, they are brilliant. Can't fault the grip in the dry at all, and in the wet they are reasonably good too. I have now got Pirelli P Zero Rosso tires on my driven wheels, and they are not quite as good grip-wise as these were (only had the Pirellis for a few hundred miles though).

Have to say I concur with the people who are amazed at the negative reviews... I don't get it! These tires were great... I definitely recommend them.

Third review of these tires a further 6 months on. Definately the very best tires I have ever had on a car. Avons, Continentals and Pirellis before. I am baffled at the negative comments in some reviews. I do not push my vehicle/ tires anywhere near the limit, maybe that is why for me this is the perfect touring tire. Also I have the XL version which are definately not "jelly like". I will buy again without hesitation.
