Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Which tire offers better fuel efficiency?

The Goodyear EfficientGrip Performance traditionally shows better fuel efficiency values with EU label B-C. The Goodyear EfficientGrip Performance 2 also achieves good values (A-B), but focuses more on safety aspects. The differences in fuel consumption are around 0.1-0.2 liters per 100 km.

How do the braking distances of the two models differ?

The Goodyear EfficientGrip Performance 2 offers shorter braking distances on both dry and wet roads. In the wet, the difference is about 2-3 meters from 80 km/h. On dry roads, the differences are smaller, but still measurable in favor of the Goodyear EfficientGrip Performance 2.

What mileage can be expected?

The Goodyear EfficientGrip Performance typically achieves 60,000-65,000 km mileage under normal driving conditions. The Goodyear EfficientGrip Performance 2 is around 55,000-60,000 km, as the improved grip leads to slightly higher wear. Both values depend heavily on driving style and operating conditions.

Are there any differences in noise development?

Both tires have been developed with comfort in mind, although the Goodyear EfficientGrip Performance 2 tends to be slightly quieter thanks to optimized tread blocks. However, the differences are minimal and are in the range of 1-2 dB. Both achieve the EU label class B for noise development.

For which vehicle types are the tires suitable?

The EfficientGrip Performance is particularly suitable for compact and mid-range vehicles with a focus on economy. The Goodyear EfficientGrip Performance 2 is also suitable for sportier vehicles and larger sedans, as it is available in more dimensions and offers better driving dynamics.

For frequent highway drivers, the Goodyear EfficientGrip Performance is often the more economical choice due to its better fuel efficiency and higher mileage. However, the Goodyear EfficientGrip Performance 2 offers additional safety in bad weather conditions thanks to improved wet grip.

How do the tires perform in sporty driving conditions?

The Goodyear EfficientGrip Performance 2 shows clear advantages in sporty driving due to more precise steering response and better lateral control. The Goodyear EfficientGrip Performance is primarily designed for comfort and efficiency and reaches its limits earlier in dynamic driving.
