When it comes to choosing the right summer tyres for your vehicle, two options stand out: the Goodyear Efficient Grip Performance 2 and the Pirelli Cinturato P7 C2. Both offerings from renowned manufacturers Goodyear and Pirelli, promise excellent efficiency, and barring a few differences, provide similar levels of performance.


The Goodyear Efficient Grip Performance 2 replaced the previous Goodyear Efficient Grip Performance and has been rated at 84% by our experts. The tyre offers superb value for money and fits comfortably on a range of vehicles. As per Autobild's test results, the tyre ranked 13th out of 53, showcasing strengths in mileage, comfort, and price-value ratio. However, its aquaplaning resistance and dry braking capabilities were noted as areas of improvement in the TyreReviews.com 2023 test.


On the other hand, Pirelli's Cinturato P7 C2 delights with an impressive overall rating of 86%. This tyre, a successor to the Pirelli P7 Cinturato, offers wonderful wet handling, as highlighted in Tyre Reviews' tests. The Cinturato P7 C2 performed exceptionally well, ranking 2nd in Autobild's test out of 53. Its strengths in aquaplaning - longitudinal, comfort, rolling resistance, and wet braking were applauded. However, TyreReviews.com 2023 pointed out minor weaknesses in its performance on wet surfaces.

In conclusion, both the Goodyear Efficient Grip Performance 2 and the Pirelli Cinturato P7 C2 have their advantages. If better mileage, comfort, and value for money are crucial, Goodyear's offering might be the better option. However, if effective aquaplaning prevention, superior comfort, and wet braking capacity are more important, the Pirelli tyre can be a great pick. In an overall comparison taking into account diverse tests, the Pirelli Cinturato P7 C2 slightly edges out its Goodyear counterpart, with its wide range of top-performing features.
