If you're looking for a comprehensive comparison between the Goodyear Efficient Grip Performance 2 and Hankook Ventus Prime 4, you've come to the right place. These two tyres are summer-type, with the Hankook model a touring subtype.


The Goodyear Efficient Grip Performance 2, successor of the Efficient Grip Performance model, excels in a number of tests, scoring an overall rating of 87%. Standing 4th and 18th in Vibilagare and Autobild tests respectively, its strengths include high mileage, price-value, comfort, dry and wet handling.

However, according to TyreReviews.com, the Goodyear tyre displays average aquaplaning resistance and longer dry braking time. AutoBild draws attention to its high price level.
