Comparison: Goodyear Efficient Grip Performance 2 vs. Dunlop Sport BluResponse vs. Kumho Ecsta PS71 vs. Goodyear Efficient Grip Performance

When comparing two renowned summer tyres, Goodyear Efficient Grip Performance 2 and Dunlop Sport BluResponse, it's important to consider various factors such as test results, comfort, price, and mileage. This review summarizes the results of the tyre tests conducted by Autobild and ADAC.


The Goodyear Efficient Grip Performance 2 tyre, which replaced the previous model Goodyear Efficient Grip Performance, performs strongly with a commendable rating of 87%. This tyre delivers excellent comfort, boasts a high mileage, and offers great value for its price. Moreover, it secured the first place in the ADAC test out of 16 tyres and the 13th position among 53 in the Autobild test.


On the other hand, the Dunlop Sport BluResponse tyre is not to be overlooked. Enjoying a respectable rating of 83%, this tyre offers comfort and low rolling resistance. In the Autobild test it ranked a respectable 11th out of 53 tyres, while in the ADAC test it positioned 5th out of 16. However, this tyre's performance on wet roads could be improved. Furthermore, its mileage and environmental performance are somewhat lower.


While both the Goodyear and Dunlop tyres are exceptional in their own right, the Goodyear Efficient Grip Performance 2 emerged as the stronger contender overall in the tests, thanks to its superior mileage and comfort. Meanwhile, the Dunlop Sport BluResponse delivers strong performance, particularly in terms of comfort and rolling resistance, but may not be the ideal choice for those seeking high mileage or perfect performance on wet surfaces.


In conclusion, Goodyear's Efficient Grip Performance 2 could be the more appealing choice for many drivers, due to its winning combination of performance, comfort, and value. However, the Dunlop Sport BluResponse still offers a high-performing, comfortable ride, albeit with some minor weaknesses.
