Comparison: Goodyear Efficient Grip Performance 2 vs. Cooper Zeon CS8 vs. Hankook ION Evo vs. Falken e.Ziex vs. Pirelli P ZERO PZ4

When it comes to summer tyres, two popular options include the Goodyear Efficient Grip Performance 2 and the Cooper Zeon CS8. Both come from reputable manufacturers, Goodyear and Cooper respectively, but there are notable differences between them in terms of performance in various tests.


The Goodyear Efficient Grip Performance 2 has an impressive rating in our tests, scoring 87%. This model, which replaced the previous Goodyear Efficient Grip Performance, is known for its excellent mileage, comfort, and value for price. In the Autobild test, it was ranked 13 out of 53, while in the ADAC test, it clinched the top position. This tyre's most lauded attributes according to the autobild 2022 summary include superior handling characteristics, short braking distances, high mileage, and low rolling resistance. The main drawback noted was its high price level, indicating that you definitely pay for the premium features of this tyre.


On the other hand, the Cooper Zeon CS8, which is made in Great Britain, earned a slightly lower rating in our tests, landing at 56%. Despite this, the Cooper Zeon CS8 managed to secure a decent 26th place out of 53 in the Autobild test, but fell significantly in the ADAC test to 33rd place out of 50. The autobild 2022 summary highlighted its good performance on wet roads, but expressed concerns about its imbalance and significant weaknesses on dry terrain. Other weaknesses include an unfavorable environmental balance, low mileage, and deficiencies in terms of wear and tear, efficiency, and sustainability.


In conclusion, if you're looking for excellent performance across the board and don't mind paying a premium, you can't go wrong with the Goodyear Efficient Grip Performance 2. However, if you want a slightly cheaper option that performs particularly well on wet roads, consider the Cooper Zeon CS8. Always bear in mind your specific driving habits and needs when making a decision on tyres.
