Comparison: Goodyear Efficient Grip Performance 2 vs. Kumho Ecsta HS51 vs. Bridgestone Turanza T005 vs. GoodYear Efficientgrip Performance 2 vs. GoodYear Efficientgrip Performance 2

The Goodyear Efficient Grip Performance 2 and the Kumho Ecsta HS51 are both summer tyres built for performance and safety. Both models have been extensively tested according to various metrics by reputable organizations such as Autobild, ADAC, and Teknikens. In our overall rating, the Goodyear model has a rating of 88% while Kumho's gets 45%, but it's worth taking a closer look at individual aspects of each tire.


The Goodyear Efficient Grip Performance 2, the successor of the Efficient Grip Performance model, shows significant improvements with strengths like mileage, price/value, and comfort. In tests performed by Autobild among 53 total tyres, it impressively ranked 13th. Furthermore, it earned the 4th place in the ADAC test and 2nd in the Teknikens test. Overall, this tyre stands out in its class for its excellent longevity and driving comfort.


On the other hand, the Kumho Ecsta HS51 has been recently replaced by the HS52 model. Made in China, this tyre is highly valued for its wet handling, aquaplaning resistance (both cross and longitudal) and its noise-friendly exterior. It particularly performed impressively at 3rd place in the Autobild test among 53 total tyres. In the ADAC test, it was only slightly behind at 5th place, and it was at 7th in the Teknikens test.


In a head-to-head comparison, the Goodyear Efficient Grip Performance 2 generally ranks higher in tests. However, the Kumho Ecsta HS51 has regularly shown excellent wet performance and price/value making it a competitive choice. It's also worth checking the newer HS52 model from Kumho as it promises further improvements.


Overall, your tyre choice will depend on your priorities, as both offer considerable strengths. For long-lasting tyres that provide driving comfort, the Efficient Grip Performance 2 from Goodyear would be the better choice. However, for cost-effective performance, particularly in wet conditions, consider the Ecsta HS51 from Kumho.
