The Goodyear EfficientGrip Performance 2 earned second place with balanced wet/dry performance, class-leading noise reduction (63.4 dB), and EU Label A/A efficiency. While matching top comfort scores and dry handling agility, its slightly lower price (€436) positions it as a value-focused alternative to premium rivals.

The Goodyear EfficientGrip Performance 2 ranked fifth, leveraging Mileage-Plus technology for 50% greater longevity, ideal for heavier EVs. It excelled in wet conditions with precise handling and strong braking safety, though dry braking distances lagged behind competitors. Its EU Label B/A/70 highlights balanced efficiency but slightly elevated rolling resistance.

The Goodyear EfficientGrip Performance 2 provides balanced and safe handling in both wet and dry conditions, ensuring driver confidence across various driving scenarios. It offers stable cornering stability and maintains good grip, essential for precise steering and maneuverability. The tire's response to steering inputs is accurate, aiding in precise vehicle control. Additionally, it boasts commendable hydroplaning resistance, enhancing safety in rainy conditions. The tire's rolling comfort is notably quiet, contributing to a more enjoyable driving experience. However, it is priced higher, reflecting its premium features, and exhibits slightly longer braking distances in wet conditions, an aspect that may need consideration.

The Goodyear EfficientGrip Performance 2 showcases strong capabilities in wet braking and objective wet handling, ensuring driver confidence in rainy conditions. Its performance in hydroplaning resistance, both straight and lateral, indicates room for improvement. In dry conditions, the tire delivers solid braking and handling performance. It stands out with a better noise offering a quieter ride.

The Goodyear EfficientGrip Performance 2, positioned ninth, shows a good balance in its performance, particularly excelling in tire longevity and offering great value for money. It provides decent braking in both dry and wet conditions but doesn't top the charts. In hydroplaning situations, the tire performs adequately, with slightly better results when turning than in straight lines. It's commendably quiet, enhancing driving comfort. Notably, it stands out for its exceptional wear characteristics, nearly leading in this aspect, and its value proposition is strong, making it a cost-effective choice. While its purchase price is on the higher side, its fuel efficiency is commendable, contributing to its overall economic performance.

The Goodyear EfficientGrip Performance 2 SUV displayed a balanced performance, excelling in noise reduction and hydroplaning resistance, especially in lateral scenarios. Its dry handling was precise and controllable, contributing to a safe driving experience. However, the tire's wet surface performance indicated areas for improvement, particularly in braking and cornering grip, which were not as strong as its competitors.

The Goodyear EfficientGrip Performance 2 stood out in the Autobild Tire Test for its exceptional mileage and noise levels, achieving top rankings in both categories. While it provided stable and safe handling and offered very good value for money, its performance in wet conditions and hydroplaning resistance was less impressive, indicating room for enhancement.

Positive: Balance performance. Wet handling performance. Dry handling performance. Noise. Comfort. Environment.
Negative: Hydroplaning resistance. Dry braking.
Goodyear knows how to make tires with well-balanced performance, and the EfficientGrip Performance 2 combines excellent grip in any conditions with low levels of noise and rolling resistance.

On dry pavement, this Goodyear tire ensures good steering response and effective braking performance; it is also quite safe on the grip limit, while on wet pavement it also quickly stops the car and ensures excellent handling performance. On the downside, its hydroplaning resistance is only average.This tire also has a long tread life, small weight, and low rolling resistance. The noise level is satisfactory.

Invariably good results in all of the disciplines. No prominent issues found. Slightly delayed steering response on wet pavement.

Great riding comfort. Low rolling resistance. Attractive price. Fuzzy steering response.

Good handling response and a short stopping distance on wet and dry pavement alike. Very long tread life. Low rolling resistance. High price. Exemplary.

Excellent grip in any conditions. Low rolling resistance. Highly recommended.

Excellently balanced performance. Very long tread life. Very good results on wet pavement. Good results on dry pavement. Good.

Short braking distance and good handling response on dry and wet pavement. Low aquaplaning resistance.

Best wet braking performance in summer conditions. Very good resistance to aquaplaning. Long braking distance on wet surfaces in cold weather.

Positive: Good handling on wet surfaces. Low noise level. Low rolling resistance.
Negative: Low resistance to aquaplaning.

Positive: Good handling on dry and wet surfaces. High level of comfort, including acoustic.
Negative: Medium resistance to aquaplaning. Average braking efficiency.

The Goodyear drives precisely and comfortably, but is a bit slow on the brakes.

Positive: new summer profile with good economy, exemplary mileage, low rolling resistance, good ride comfort.
Negative: slightly delayed steering response.
Verdict: good .

Top marks in wear. Slightly weaker on dry roads. Good on wet roads. Relatively low fuel consumption.

Positive:The new EfficientGrip Performance 2 is a very well rounded tyre with excellent grip in the dry and wet, low levels of noise, high levels of comfort, very low rolling resistance and well priced.
Negative: Low aquaplaning resistance and slightly long braking distances in the dry and wet cost it victory.
An extremely well rounded tyre with no major weaknesses, other than aquaplaning. Good levels of comfort and low fuel use make this an excellent tyre for real world driving.
