Goodyear EfficientGrip 235/45 R19 95 V Run on flat FP, MOE

We have noticed that the vehicle aquaplanes still in the we but that might be the vehicle not the tyres. Read more Collapse

The car I have Goodyear EfficientGrip tyres fitted to is a heavy vehicle with front wheel drive and a Diesel engine. The previous tyres I had were factory-fitted Pirelli P7. I think that compared to Goodyear, Pirelli tyres were harder and the car was stiffer. Now the front end of the car seems to sway at higher speeds. I use the same route when I go to work, so I can see the difference. Their great advantage is braking distance. The car stops almost on the spot. Previously, ABS was switching on during every sudden braking. Also, the fact is that my old tyres were already worn out. I got persuaded to buy Goodyear EfficientGrip tyres by reading reviews of other users and the manufacturer – low rolling resistance, noise level, influence on fuel consumption etc. As I see it now, everything was just a marketing trick, at least that’s my subjective opinion. Now I would go for some cheaper tyres. Pirelli did 45 thousand miles. We shall see what the mileage of Goodyear EfficientGrip will be. Read more Collapse

I have a heavy car with a powerful engine, and due to that all tyres wear off quite fast, including Goodyear EfficientGrip, but on the other hand, the driving comfort is excellent. The car goes in and out of the corners like on tracks. My passengers often are surprised that such a heavy estate with a modded Diesel engine can go 110 MPH in the corners. They ask me about the tyres, and when I say that I use Goodyear EfficientGrip and give them a price, they say they prefer to go slower and save some money… and then they buy used tyres. I preferred to buy new tyres and paid 100 pounds per tyre, at Oponeo – and the service stations want you to pay 160 pounds per tyre! Also, I rated their ice performance on 1, as such a tyre as Goodyear EfficientGrip shouldn’t be rated in winter conditions. I don’t drive like that and I find Goodyear EfficientGrip not suitable for snow and ice – that’s what winter tyres are for! Read more Collapse

Goodyear EfficientGrip is a very good tyre on dry surface. On wet, with moderate driving style, suspension in good condition and proper air pressure it’s also excellent. It’s very quiet, compared to my previous Pirelli P7, which was definitely louder, even louder than the winter Michelin Pilot Alpin. I am not able to rate the durability of Goodyear EfficientGrip at the moment because the distance driven is too small to note any signs of wear. Also, I have to emphasize that in order to rate the driving properties of a tyre properly and to fully use its capabilities in all conditions, you have to adjust your wheel alignment correctly, have proper air pressure, correctly working suspension and fully balanced wheels. After I had my new Goodyear EfficientGrip tyres fitted, I did all of this and the tyres do their job perfectly. Read more Collapse

Goodyear EfficientGrip look finelty manufactured at first glance.During the first fitting the tyre man noticed the tyres have slight side vibrations - when spun on the balancer, the tread pattern was not spinning in one course, and the tyres needed a lot of weights to be balanced. The wheels were checked when it came to damage and the appeared to be fine. As a result, in order to minimize the risk of "wheel swerving" while driving, the tyre had to be centered against the wheel to get the best position. To sum up, my old Michelin tyres kept their straight profile through the entire period of use, and new Goodyear EfficientGrip tyres had to be re-balanced and centered... I don't recommend Goodyear EfficientGrip because of such problems. Read more Collapse
