Given 90% while driving a Volkswagen Golf 7.5 1.0 TSI (195/65 R15) on a combination of roads for 27,500 spirited miles
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 tyre. I put it back after 45000km (27500miles) On VW Golf 7.5 1.0tsi dsg!

Given 64% while driving a Kia Motors (225/45 R18) on a combination of roads for 42,000 average miles
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.

Given 51% while driving a Volkswagen Voyage Highline MT 1.6lt 110hp. 2021. (195/55 R15) on mostly town for 0 spirited miles
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.

Given 79% while driving a BMW 116i (205/55 R16) on a combination of roads for 52,000 spirited miles
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 tyre. If you want to buy this tyre 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.

Given 87% while driving a Ford Fiesta mk7 (195/55 R15) on mostly country roads for 15,000 easy going miles
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.

Given 100% while driving a Ford Galaxy (215/60 R16) on a combination of roads for 8,000 easy going miles
I put the Goodyear Efficient Grip Performance tyres on my Ford Galaxy 8000 miles (2 years) ago and they were much quieter than the original fitment. I wanted a quiet tyre and I got it. I can't comment on any other driving limits or characteristics as I drive sensibly and frugally. The tyres just get on with it without fuss. I left this review because I am so pleased with the reduced road noise.

These tyres were on a toyota fielder hybrid import i purchased, look new, plenty of tread, nice looking tyre, 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 tyre same price id get that next.

I got it for 80000 km(50000 miles) on it for my 1 series. It has got very good dry grip and wet grip. But the sidewalls are week. It is silent tire and soft rubber is best for comfort. I will try the 2nd generation. If you are going to buy this efficientgrip performance series buy the 2nd generation it is better by % 10-15 .

Given 59% while driving a Renault Megane 4 GT TcE 205 (205/55 R17) on a combination of roads for 20,000 average miles
Good grip in wet and dry and comfort but its sidewalls is very weak that makes the tire too much flexible and gives a feel that the car is not stable enough.

Given 84% while driving a Volvo V40 T4 AUTO (205/50 R16) on a combination of roads for 55,449 spirited miles
Almost 90000km on the back of a Volvo V40 T4. Lots of tread left but some inner meshes already showing. They last the same as 3 sets for the front, In the same car of course. Very progressive over the lifetime. Not the best tyre in the world, specially if you want them for the front In the same car, but for sure the best until now for rear tires. And just for the disbelievers: always run them with the manufacturer recommended pressure, 2,0bar.

Given 67% while driving a Volkswagen Golf (225/45 R16) on mostly country roads for 2,000 average miles
This tyres were great before it started raining. Even at 20mph I'm losing control on roundabouts when it's damp, absolutely lethal. They're only a few months old and still have practically full tread. I've never struggled at such low speeds on damp roundabouts and turns, it's scary going to replace soon which is a shame as I've not had long and they were £100 a tyre.
