Product description & features

Goodyear have constructed the EfficientGrip Performance 2 with ‘Wet Braking’ technology. Incorporating lower compound stiffness and an increased number of gripping edges to ensure quick water evacuation from the tyre, thus decreasing the braking distance in wet weather conditions.

The EfficientGrip Performance 2 has also been developed with high tread elasticity and increased flexibility to decrease the possibility of damage to the tyre on rough road conditions or over a wide range of temperatures. Due to this, the EfficientGrip Performance 2 has increased mileage performance.

The Goodyear EfficientGrip Performance 2 has been designed to feature three large ribs in the middle of the tread pattern. As a result, the overall stiffness of the tyre will improve and enhance the overall cornering stability in dry conditions.

The EfficientGrip Performance 2 has been proven to last 20% longer the next best competitor when impartially tested by TÜV SÜD Product Service GmbH in November 2019. This test shows that the Efficientgrip Performance 2 delivers the equivalent of an extra 11,000 km higher mileage.

EfficientGrip Performance 2 tyres are available in 15 inch16 inch17 inch18 inch19 inch and 20 inch rim tyre sizes.

Wet Braking Technology

Reduced compound stiffness allows for easier bending of the block and more effective removal of water. This, along with a greater number of longer gripping edges enhances the block's ability to evacuate water quickly. All resulting in a excellent wet braking performance.

They perform well in both in the wet and dry. Road noise is an improvement on my previous tyres and they seem more compliant over rougher roads.

They're pretty good in all weather conditions. I've used the same brand of tyres on my Mercedes since the Continentals supplied as original equipment by Mercedes wore out and I've always been happy with the performance of the Goodyear EfficientGrips. Sadly the same can't be said about my 15 year old Merc. It'll be going to the car auctions next week as soon as my new A Class has been delivered. Hopefully the new owner might get another 15,000 - 20,000 miles out of the tyres if s/he's careful.

They're fine. I have owned the car for 14 years and I have always specified Goodyear EfficientGrips when i have needed replacement tyres. I live in a hilly area and they provide as good a grip in winter conditions as you can get with a rear wheel drive automatic transmission car.

They're fine but they're the same tyre that I've been buying for almost 10 years now so that's what I would have expected.
