Comparison: Dunlop SP Sport MAXX RT2 vs. Goodyear Efficient Grip Performance 2 vs. GoodYear Efficientgrip Performance 2 vs. Pirelli P ZERO PZ4 vs. Falken e.Ziex

When it comes to comparing two high-quality tyres, Dunlop SP Sport MAXX RT2 and Goodyear Efficient Grip Performance 2, there are a few key factors to consider. Let's analyse the data from all the tests to highlight their strengths and weaknesses and provide you with a comprehensive comparison.


The Dunlop SP Sport MAXX RT2 is a summer tyre of subtype UUHP. With an overall rating of 79%, it impresses with its aquaplaning and comfort and is particularly noted for its precise handling during wet conditions and short braking distances on both wet and dry surfaces. However, one common criticism is its slightly delayed steering response on dry roads. In terms of test positions, Dunlop SP Sport MAXX RT2 rated 5th in the ADAC test out of 16 tyres and 7th in the Autobild test from a total of 51 tyres.


On the other hand, the Goodyear Efficient Grip Performance 2 is at the top of its game, showing noticeable improvements from its previous model, the Goodyear Efficient Grip Performance. With an overall rating of 87%, it's superb in terms of mileage and shows a good price/value ratio, justifying its high price level. Test results also give a nod to its short braking distances, resistant rolling and excellent handling features. In the ADAC test, the Goodyear tyre took the 9th place out of 16, and in the Autobild test, it finished in 18th place out of 51 tyres.


Both tyres are manufactured by reputed brands, Dunlop and Goodyear, well-known for their quality and performance. However, according to our test results, the Goodyear Efficient Grip Performance 2 performs marginally better overall than the Dunlop SP Sport MAXX RT2 despite a few criticisms.


Before making a final decision, we strongly recommend considering your personal driving conditions and preferences. Always remember that a tyre's effectiveness can heavily depend on specific use-cases and may not always align with general test outcomes.
