Actually, normal point tire on dry but wet grip is awful. i do not recommend this tire to buy.when i bought my astra j, this tire was on it,so i have had bad experiences with this tire.if you find cheap,it can be bought it.

First off, no way would I buy these tires again. They are on the verge of being completely unsafe any time the temperature is in single figures or lower.

Grip is poor in cool or wet conditions, causing understear (I have some older tires of a different make on the rear axle). If you follow another car around a roundabout, matching their speed you could slide quite easily.

If it snows, forget it! My Bridgestones are on the front axle, on a front wheel drive car. I recently got stuck in a carpark which was at an angle of much less than 5 degrees from the horizontal with about an inch of snow on the ground. It took one average sized man to push me out. Hopefully that demostrates how poor the grip is. Furthermore, my previous tires (some worn Westlakes which had a towards-illegal depth of tread) in conjunction with the car was beating many part time 4x4's up snowy inclines, around corners etc.

The dry weather grip is ok-not noticably lacking or amazing, but then I don't exactly push to the limit. Fuel economy has not changed by more than a few mpg up or down in comparison to the previous tires. After around 4000 miles the tires have not worn excessively.

After 10,000kms i would like to say, there is much to be desired about this tire.

this tire is piss poor in the rain!! my previous Primacy LC had much more composure when driving on the highway. similar conditions and on the same car. if you care about your life and others, avoid at all cost

also, this tire is noisier than most tires. maybe i am used to Primacy LC quiet tires but this tire will hum, roar and wail on most roads.



i wont buy this tire again and will never recommend this tire. please avoid!

Second review having completed a further 4000miles on these tires. I liked them before and still do. I have the XL version so maybe stiffer sidewalls but have never felt this "Jelly" some other people talk about. They seem ideal for my style of driving and the car, both of which are less than "spirited". Great touring tire, just about to get two more for the front as I don't go below 2.5mm. I agree that legally they have some more life in them.

Let me begin by saying I have only owned the car for 1 month and it came with some worn out Bridgestone on the front and and worn Michelin's on the rear. I used this as part of the haggle. Handling was unusual to say the least. When you are looking to replace all tires with a potential spend of £500+ you do some research. I had the chance to get 4 Goodyear EfficientGrip's for a very good price and of course you are suspicious. I read reviews, researched prices but had to go for them. I have had them fitted and what a difference, quiet, positive feedback, good handling with the potential of saving some money on fuel as well. As with all tires they are better when warm but I gave them a good thrash on some local country roads the other night and it was like a different car. At this early stage I have little to compare them with on this car but so far I would recommend them. I made a point of noting how the other tires handled before and after the change. I also looked to note the jelly like feel described by other reviewers and in all honesty I cannot feel it. After fitting I checked all tire pressures and set them exactly to Audi's recommended psi and these tires are spot on. I will come back and review these tires next autumn when I have used them for 6 months to report mpg and wear but first impressions count and I am pleased. I think I will take the car out fora Sunday morning thrash just to check them again now:)

Have had these in place of michelin energy saver tires, have now done around 2000 miles now and am very pleased with these tires. Noticeable difference in drive, softer and more smoother than michelins, hard corning is noticeable in comparassion to the michelins, wet grip is as very good, as well as dry grip, no noticable wear yet or difference in fuel consumption. Subject to some reviews on these tires i would deffinatly recommend these tires to anyone.

these tires came stock with my ford focus 2012. 180bhp but auto gearbox.

handling of my ford was good. good feedback. however, when the rain starts to pour, my ford it terrible!

so my friend begged me to change my tires. i did. i changed my tires to Michelin PS3.

these tires really transformed my car. from a good handling car, it is now brilliant. feedback was fantastic and in the rain, it no longer a hovercraft!!

the EfficientGrip should be called, EfficientCrap. it is terrible.

Well ive only had these tires for a couple of weeks and they are fine, good grip all the time and road noise seems ok.Not really tried them in the wet yet but dont race about in the wet anyway unless your stupid!Am going to get some more for the back soon.

Its a fairly ideal tire for my fairly unexciting diesel estate. Decent grip (wet grip) - given the kind of tire it is. They lasted 20,000 miles on the front (2L focus estate) of mixed driving. At that stage the rears were about half or two-thirds worn.

I liked them enough to buy another pair at the front.

Traffic light racers should be looking elsewhere TBH - there's a reason I didn't pick these out for our other car (mk4 golf gti).

I bought these tires about 8 months ago and about 30,000km ago.

dry grip is decent.
wet grip is dodgy, aquaplane a few times. and i wasnt even driving quickly.
feedback is non-existant. power steering? maybe
wear is ok, looking at the wear at 30,000km. i think it still has 30% left. which is ok.
comfort is poor or bad. its not the noisiest tire around but it was touted as the quiet tire. So it should really be quieter. my Continental premium contact 2 were much much quieter.

not getting it ever again.

advertised as the quiet tire.

so the question would be. is it really quiet?

yes. and no.

on perfect surfaces, its mightily quiet. but you'd expect that from most tires.

on poor surfaces, its decent. its not the quietest (i think one of previous Michelins were quieter). it does vibrate quite a lot of concrete roads.

so thats my take.

These tires are fitted to the police cars that i drive and i drive cautiously but then when on blue light considerably quicker than most.

Under normar driving i find the tires comfortable but at the same time noisy. it doesnt take much at all to have the tires squeeling around corners even at 30 or 40 mph. They are ok in the wet and in the dry but i wouldnt rate then anywhere near a performance tire.

When pushing the car i find there is very little feedback through the corners and there is definately the jelly like feel that folk talk about. again very noisy but still maintain straight line stability at 120mph. the handling is predictable but at the same time you are predocting that you are not going to have much grip. braking isnt the best and i say that they tires stop me using the braking power in the car to its full potential.

I cant really comment on life or fuel efficiency as i so a lot of my mileage on the limit of grip they do handle reasonably well in the snow compared to other summer tires.

Although they are an all round decent tire i wouldnt buy them for my own car and certainly wouldnt be paying top dollar for them. for general day to day driving they are perfectly fine other than a bit of road noise but this is made worse by having an estate car.
