2 mutual test(s) with detailed data

The Dunlop Sport BluResponse and the Goodyear Efficient Grip Performance 2 are both summer tyres that cater to a wide range of users looking for comfort, efficiency, and durability across different road conditions. According to our ratings, Goodyear Efficient Grip Performance 2 (87%) slighty outperforms Dunlop Sport BluResponse (83%).


Dunlop Sport BluResponse stood its ground in a field of 53 tyres in the Autobild test, securing the 11th position. Its strengths lay in rolling resistance and comfort. However, the tyre displayed some weakness on wet pavement and had some challenges in the environmental balance and the total mileage (details). The ADAC test, which involved 16 tyres, ranked it at the 5th position, let down slightly by its ability in wet braking despite performing well on dry terrain and in aquaplaning scenarios.


The Goodyear Efficient Grip Performance 2 replaced its predecessor Goodyear Efficient Grip Performance and offers better mileage and value for money alongside comfort, as indicated in the Autobild test where it achieved the 13th position. The tyre truly shone in the ADAC test, clinching the top spot (details).


On closer inspection of the performance characteristics, Dunlop Sport BluResponse appears to provide efficient rolling resistance and comfort, but with some challenges related to wet braking and total mileage. Goodyear Efficient Grip Performance 2 offers excellent wet grip and value for money but underperforms slightly in rolling resistance, which could affect fuel economy.


In summary, both tyres have their strengths and weaknesses. You can determine the ideal tyre for you based on whether you prioritize comfort, cost savings, or a balance between both. Visit Dunlop or Goodyear for more information on their range of summer tyres.
