Goodyear EfficientGrip Performance Reviews - Page 6

Heavy car with 400Nm diesel. The tires smooth and soft character fits this car very well, feels safe, predictable but exact enough to drive actively. Soft and quiet ride. I have tryed many other thorough the years on different cars, but get back to these eventually. My favorite tire.

I change from Michelin energy saver due to side damage to front tire. I went for Goodyear efficient grip performance, as there ware lots of good reviews. first you can see the difference as tire is very soft and looks underinflated. the handling was bit worst that Michelin, or just needed to get use to them. breaking and stopping was very good, with daily commute of 50/50 motorway/city driving the tires need to be replaced soon, after just 2 years and 12400 miles. the middle of the tire is near to wear indicator, less than 3mm, but sides are still over3mm. I was always within manufacture tire pressure limit, but still tire look like it was overinflated all the time. maybe its due to the softness of the tire, or just nature. Very good tire but it didn't last long in my case. the back. Compared to Michelin energy saver that are fitted in the back, they still have over 4mm and over 39000miles on the clock.

These tires, DOT stamped 2915 were fitted 11/15 and since then have done 18,000 miles. The front needed to be replaced before winter but the rear tires still have 5-6mm tread across the tire. However after a rapid deflation due I think to a failed puncture repair carried out about 9 months ago I noticed that there was severe cracking in the casing of the failed tire between the treads. Similar cracking is present in the casing of the two rear tires even though there is still 5-6mm of tread depth. The cracking suggest premature perishing of the casing, not something I would have expected from a premium grade tire recommended and fitted by a Toyota dealer.

The tires were fine when new but grip/road holding has deteriorated markedly with use. The premature perishing suggests that a warning should be issued for these tires once they are more than 2 years old.

I bought these tires 5 years ago. From the very first day it was a bit of disappointment, compared to my previous tires (Goodyear excellence). The grip in both dry and wet conditions was not as good as the previous tires, the wheels were spinning at the start even in the slightest hill, the breaking was making me nervous whenever I needed an emergency stop, gliding for several meters even at very low speeds, and rarely I had a sensation of sliding during turning, especially on wet conditions, or poor quality of tarmac.

I was very satisfied though by its fuel consumption and its wear... Its performance didn't drop much during these 5 years (60000 km), although it wasn't very good in the first place.

I would not recommend this tire to anyone, except maybe someone who drives very carefully, in a very safe road and his only concern is a fuelsaving tire that will last, with minimum requirements, for 30.000-40.000 miles (50.000-60.000 km)

Excellent grip in both wet and dry and these give a very comfortable ride. But they have a downside, they have ruined my cars handling. The car has lost its lovely pointy steering, and now feels mushy in corners even with a few extra PSI as recommended on some forums. Personally in this taller profile at least I think most people would better off with a tire that has stiffer side walls, unless you drive everywhere in a straight line. Cannot comment on wear but after a couple of thousand miles there are no real visible signs of it.

Bought these tires as a replacement for the Michelin Primacy 3 tires that were fitted to the car when it was new. I got 62,000km out of the originals which was outstanding mileage (some may ask why I didn't buy another set - i'll come to that). On reading multiple reviews I opted for the Goodyears as they were highly rated generally and £15 cheaper a corner. Even if I didn't get 62,000km out of them I reasoned they would be more or less as good as the Michelins. Well, in short I was wrong the difference in performance is very noticeable in certain conditions. After 20,000km they are 50% worn, but by far and away the biggest disappointment is the performance in cold & damp weather. I do a lot of early morning commuting at temperatures between 0 - 5 °C in the winter. Well, that's the achilles heal of these tires they have very little grip when its cold and damp they are strictly a summer tire. The wheels seem to spin every time I take off from a junction or roundabout in the cold & damp and then the traction control of the car kicks in and the car cuts the power. This problem just didn't exist with the Michelins, so it must be an issue with the firmness of the tread compound which is designed for energy efficiency in the summer. To be fair and balanced the tires perform much better in warm & dry conditions, in fact in the summer the Goodyears are every bit as good as the Michelins and have lots of grip. Overall, I am going to replace the Goodyears in the autumn and guess what this time I'll happily pay the £15 extra per corner for Michelins which perform year round.

Bought a pair of these for the front wheels of my Passat last June to replace some cheaper rubber that I'd fitted previously. Road handling was good and breaking in both wet and dry was satisfactory, but considering I'd spent extra on purchasing what I consider a premium tire,

I was disappointed that they wore out so quickly - 12 months driving (racking up 11k maybe 11.5k miles) mostly to and from work via motorway/dual carriageway doesn't really seem like that much.

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... +
