In this comparison, we will be looking at two summer tyres: the Cooper Zeon CS8 made in the United Kingdom, and the Goodyear Efficient Grip Performance made in Slovenia. Both of these tyres have been put through numerous tests, and in this analysis, we'll highlight their strengths and weaknesses based on their performance.


The Cooper Zeon CS8 has an overall rating of 56%, based on our tests. It demonstrates decent performance but falls short in significant areas when compared to its competitors. In the Autobild test, it landed in position 13 out of 51 tyres, followed by position 14 out of 16 in the ADAC test. In a more compact test conducted by Gute-Fahrt, it ranked better, at 9th place from 10 tyres.


On the other hand, the Goodyear Efficient Grip Performance outperformed the Cooper Zeon CS8 in each test. It rated 84%, significantly higher than the Cooper Zeon CS8. In the Autobild test, it finished at 11th position out of 51 tyres, outdoing the Cooper Zeon CS8. This trend continued in the ADAC test where it ranked 12th out of 16 tyres. The Goodyear tyre shined in the Gute-Fahrt test, taking 3rd position out of 10 tyres, highlighting its aquatic performance with best features such as Aquaplaning - cross.


The Goodyear EfficientGrip Performance model has been replaced by a newer tyre, the Goodyear Efficient Grip Performance 2. We recommend checking out this model for the latest improvements and features. On the contrary, the Cooper Zeon CS8 has yet to be replaced by a newer model.


In conclusion, the Goodyear Efficient Grip Performance is a superior tyre based on our tests. However, the Cooper Zeon CS8 still offers decent performance and might be a good choice under certain conditions.
