Goodyear EfficientGrip Performance Reviews - Page 7

Given 61% while driving a Fiat 500X (215/55 R17 V) on a combination of roads for 12,000 spirited miles
The tyres came as the standard fit on my fiat 500x. The car is on a company lease so I cannot ditch them. I live in Holland where it rains a lot, the asphalt is generally very smooth and the wet grip is below par for a premium branded tyre. Generally a mediocre tyre really if you were to buy them from your own hard earned money. Dry grip is okay but they don't inspire much confidence in cornering.
I would buy conti or michelin. Not recommended

Replaced existing Good Year Eagle F1 with these and very pleased. Ride much more comfortable and grip very good in dry and wet.

Given 37% while driving a Mazda MX5 (195/50 R15) on mostly country roads for 1,000 spirited miles
Horrified. As an ex police driver I was not happy with the hankook the car came with, these goodyear were recommended by the tyre fitter? As an efficient and spirited driver I am mortified by the lack of feel in cornering, combined with a jelly like feel within the entry stage of corner. I cannot afford to replace straight away (pension) but will swap them out the second I have finance.

Given 83% while driving a Mitsubishi Grandis Warrior Di D (215/55 R17 W) on mostly motorways for 60,000 easy going miles
Lasted 60.000Km on Mitsubishi Grandis. Changed for lateral wear in the end . Changed front backward.
Very low fuel consumption, noise and high confort.
Not for racing.

Given 59% while driving a Skoda Fabia 1.2 (195/50 R15) on a combination of roads for 7,000 spirited miles
Fitted to my Skoda Fabia on the front, seemed very good tyres very grippy in the wet and dry especially traction wise. As they wore down below 3mm they started to loose grip and squeal when cornering. The biggest issue with these was despite me inflating them to the recommended 31psi, they wore heavily along the centre tread line and within 7,000 miles they were down to the limits.
Very disappointed. Have replaced with Avon ZV7 which give much more feedback on the limit than the goodyears, hopefully will last a bit longer too.

The Goodyear EfficientGrip Performance tyres give good grip in both wet and dry road. Road noise isn't too bad as the tyre were soft compare to other brand. However they did wear faster then my previous tyres (Michelin).

Given 83% while driving a Toyota Avensis Wagon D4D 2.2 (215/50 R17 W) on mostly town for 18,000 average miles
Fitted to the front of a 2007 Toyota Avensis 2.2 D4D Tourer used for commuting, so leisurely rather than progressive driving in the main! They perform well in both the dry and wet. They are quiet and comfortable. The only downside is that after 18,000 miles they need replacing, which is a disappointment given my driving style. The only other comment is that even when inflated to to recommended pressure, they appear under-inflated.

Given 76% while driving a Alfa Romeo 1.9 JTD M (225/45 R17) on mostly motorways for 35,476 average miles
Tyres performed pretty well. Was surprised how low the tread was when it came time to replace them as they had worn about 1-2mm deeper than I was expecting them to have done after 12 months motorway driving (compared to some el-cheapo alternatives that I had before), but dry/wet grip and stability was much improved.

Can't say I noticed any difference from the A-rated efficiency or noise categories, so have selected the Goodyear Eagle F1's this time around to try instead.

Overall decent tyre, no major complaints.

Given 90% while driving a Volkswagen Golf 1.9 Tdi (195/65 R15) on a combination of roads for 24,000 average miles
Car - VW Golf Mk4 estate 2001 1.9tdi 115.
Factory standard car on 140k miles, but fully sorted and balanced.
Advanced professional driver, car used daily on mixture of journey types including higher speed journeys on autobahn.
Superbly comfortable tyres with low noise at all speeds. During progressive drives tyres afford good grip but being a 65 profile, feel rather squishy, with a fair amount of roll. Please take into account the older model of car when reading this!
Great at dealing with Britains potholed roads!
24100 miles driven over 2 years 8 months. Very good value for money indeed.
Two punctures repaired on both front and rear offside tyres during use. Tyres rotated from front to rear during use. Removed from car at 3.5mm tread remaining.
Replaced with same tyres, says how pleased with these tyres I am!

Given 99% while driving a Audi A3 (225/40 R18 W) on mostly town for 40,000 average miles
These tyres were on the car when I bought the car Jan 2015, Ive only changed them this month jan 2017 Ive gone for the exact same tyres again.
Incredible tyres, the way they are made is fantastic. I recommend watching the full video of the one above.
They are great in the dry, but I think they are better in the wet. In extreme rainy days, through deep puddles at 60mph on the motorway the car holds so well, no aquaplaning at all, superb grip and even better braking.
I drive an Audi A3 2008 and I know the brakes are very good anyway but coupled with these good year tyres my word, you can actually stop on a postage stamp. In the rain.
When I changed the tyres, the garage told me they are 5 years old.
They perform so well right to the end. Petrol consumption is great also. I got them for 115 a tyre fitted, the money saved on petrol plus the life of them, thats a steal.
I always feel safe knowing my car wears these tyres. Conteol assured.
