Given 87% while driving a Ford Fiesta mk7 (195/55 R15) on mostly country roads for 15,000 easy going miles
Fitted these to my mk 7 Fiesta 1.25 and i am very pleased with the performance. The road noise is low, comfort good (at pressures for two people) and dry grip limit has not yet been found, corners tightens up?, just turn it some more, no drama. Wet grip seems excellent, no issues even in heavy rain. Only downsides are price and that they only last about 15000 miles at what can only be described as gentle use. I will buy again.

I put the Goodyear Efficient Grip Performance tyres on my Ford Galaxy 8000 miles (2 years) ago and they were much quieter than the original fitment. I wanted a quiet tyre and I got it. I can't comment on any other driving limits or characteristics as I drive sensibly and frugally. The tyres just get on with it without fuss. I left this review because I am so pleased with the reduced road noise.

These tyres were on a toyota fielder hybrid import i purchased, look new, plenty of tread, nice looking tyre, but i find them very noisey esp on country sealed roads with larger aggregate surfaces. Grip seems goods both wet n dry, if there was a more quite tyre same price id get that next.

I got it for 80000 km(50000 miles) on it for my 1 series. It has got very good dry grip and wet grip. But the sidewalls are week. It is silent tire and soft rubber is best for comfort. I will try the 2nd generation. If you are going to buy this efficientgrip performance series buy the 2nd generation it is better by % 10-15 .

Good grip in wet and dry and comfort but its sidewalls is very weak that makes the tire too much flexible and gives a feel that the car is not stable enough.

Given 84% while driving a Volvo V40 T4 AUTO (205/50 R16) on a combination of roads for 55,449 spirited miles
Almost 90000km on the back of a Volvo V40 T4. Lots of tread left but some inner meshes already showing. They last the same as 3 sets for the front, In the same car of course. Very progressive over the lifetime. Not the best tyre in the world, specially if you want them for the front In the same car, but for sure the best until now for rear tires. And just for the disbelievers: always run them with the manufacturer recommended pressure, 2,0bar.

This tyres were great before it started raining. Even at 20mph I'm losing control on roundabouts when it's damp, absolutely lethal. They're only a few months old and still have practically full tread. I've never struggled at such low speeds on damp roundabouts and turns, it's scary going to replace soon which is a shame as I've not had long and they were £100 a tyre.

Given 34% while driving a Renault Cilo 1.2 Extreme (195/50 R15) on mostly town for 6,200 average miles
I have those tyres on my renault clio for almost 2 years and I would only recommend them to people that will never drive their car even on 4/10 of its potential. If you ever take a turn with even 10kmh above the "leisure driving" speed, then you'll end up with a BadYear.. I will start with the good points about this tyre: - On leisure drives they are ok and not noisy at-all (at least on the size I use) also no squeals when hot, - Pretty much great fuel consumption, i get around 6 l/100km in Athens-Greece which is a big achievement in our jungle roads, - Pretty much no tyre wear on my time with them, - On wet roads they have ok handling, they don't feel dangerous when driving below 4/10. Huge exclamation mark, all the above points apply ONLY when driving cautiously and NEVER drive spiritedly. The points I wish I knew before picking them up: - ZERO feel of how the car will react next. One moment it grips, the next it snaps. To this point contributes the no noise "good" point from above. No squeaks, no squeals, no nothing. One moment you drive a car with four wheels the next you are an ice skater without skates. - No steering feel. Take a turn at 6/10 of the car's capabilities it starts with some steering feel, progresses to feeling that you tip-toe on the sidewalls of the tyre and concludes to NoYear, i guess. - Terrible break performance on hot climates with scorching asphalt. This point doesn't even apply when you drive spiritedly. I specifically remember the nightmare having to do a completely normal stop from 15kmh in a slight downhill and the ABS engaged fully. It could be the world's slowest slight tap on front car's bumper. Very dangerous. - ZERO fun to be had. Between tip-toeing on the sidewalls and counting your RemainingYears this tyres such every bit of fun out of driving. My review comes from a 30ish person's point of view without the road racing gin in my dna. Previous tyres were 4 year old Pirelli Cinturato P1 Verde, same dimension, from a completely different dimension. Even with disintegrating sidewalls the handling and feel was leagues better. I would say those 4 year old tyres where substantially safer-feeling than the (then) brand new GoodYear EfficientNoGrip. So (atleast on my tyre size) only consider them if you will: - never drive spiritedly, - never break hard on emergencies, - never try to avoid anything in a straight line. They are perfect: - for driving in the worlds straightest line, - consuming as low fuel as possible, - enjoying jelly very much - having no regard for your own and others around you lives. In any other case, don't be me and avoid them at all cost.

First note, these tyres have been rotated 2 times. The grip and handling are great, slightly decreased on wet roads, however very stable. Those tyres wear very well, but from my experience needed a bit more pressure (0,5 bar above car manufacturer recommendation). Overall they are great tyres, better on dry roads, good levels of comfort.

Given 51% while driving a Peugeot 308 BlueHDI EAT6 (225/40 R18) on a combination of roads for 200 average miles
I found these tyres handle the road pretty well taking corners and roundabouts at reasonable speeds really well but that unfortunately is about as much of the good i can provide. Killed 4 of these new tyres in a shocking 5 months as they could not handle the poorly maintained roads hitting small potholes has caused them to rupture the wall each time. Initially put it down to low tyre pressure so increased it and still the same thing, by the time the 4th tyre popped at only a month old i gave up and moved to Bridgestone all weather. I cannot recommend these tyres and will not be purchasing Goodyear ever again

For the Honda S2000 The chassis of the vehicle is too stiff for the side wall of this tire.

Given 56% while driving a Ford Fiesta (195/50 R15 V) on a combination of roads for 10,000 easy going miles
Looked like a well balanced, comfortable tyre at first. I was quite happy with my choice. After a few thousands kilometers, they started to make this unbearable humming noise, as if the tyres were hollow and the noise was echoing inside them. And then the real disappointment came: These tyres are very prone to sidewall damage, due to the light compound used in order to reduce rolling resistance. Drop into a very small pothole, and bang, you have a bulge or a hole on your sidewall! Lost two of them in this manner and literally dumped the remaining two and switched to Hankook Ventus Prime 3. Much better tyre in every aspect. Not recommended for anyone who are using their cars on any surface less than highway quality.
