The Goodyear Efficient Grip Performance 2 is a successor of Goodyear Efficient Grip Performance, and it outdoes its predecessor by scoring an impressive 87% in our rating. This tyre excels in mileage, price/value ratio, and comfort. It bagged the 13th position in Autobild, secured the 3rd and 4th places in Autozeitung and Firmenauto respectively.

In conclusion, if you are looking for a summer tyre with higher mileage, excellent comfort, and greater value for money, Goodyear Efficient Grip Performance 2 would be a better choice.
