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.

Thanks to its excellent dry handling, aquaplaning and wet handling capabilities, Maxxis Premitra HP5 was also ranked 4th in GTÜ test.

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.
