Herein, we have the detailed comparison between the Goodyear Efficient Grip Performance 2 and the Continental PremiumContact 7 summer tyres. Both tyres have undergone a range of tests, and in this review, we draw on the findings to summarise their strengths, weaknesses, and overall performance.
The Goodyear Efficient Grip Performance 2, the successor of the Goodyear Efficient Grip Performance, is notable for its excellent wet handling, great dry handling, comfortable ride, and low noise . However, it portrays average aquaplaning resistance and extended dry braking, as per findings from TyreReviews.com 2023. Its best feature according to ADAC testing was mileage. Despite the commendable attributes, this tyre from Goodyear ranked lower in most tests compared to its rival - Continental.
The Continental PremiumContact 7, a touring tyre produced in several countries (FR, SK, DE, CZ), has been succeeding the Continental PremiumContact 6 and the Continental ContiPremiumContact 5. According to consensus testing data, this Continental model substantially outperforms the Goodyear model in terms of wet grip, dry braking, and dry handling. The model also showcased top-notch performance in wet braking, and wet circle cornering during the ACE and Autobild tests. Among its strengths, as highlighted in ADAC and autobild 2024 tests, include balanced properties, low fuel consumption, and high forecasted mileage. Nevertheless, the model displays certain weaknesses- slight aquaplaning behaviour, elevated noise levels, and average rolling resistance.
Overall, the Continental PremiumContact 7 scores 99% in our rating and ranks 1st consistently across tests, indicating its overall superior performance. The Goodyear Efficient Grip Performance 2, though praised for specific features, posts a lower rating of 84% and ranks below Continental in mutual testing scenarios. Therefore, if overall performance metrics are considered, Continental PremiumContact 7 acquires a clear edge over Goodyear Efficient Grip Performance 2.
In conclusion, while both tyres manifest distinct strengths, the Continental PremiumContact 7 with its outstanding wet and dry features, low fuel consumption and high projected mileage, takes the upper hand in most testing scenarios.
