Comparison: Goodyear Efficient Grip Performance 2 vs. Uniroyal RainSport 5 vs. Firestone Roadhawk

2 mutual test(s) with detailed data

In a head-to-head comparison between the Goodyear Efficient Grip Performance 2 and the Uniroyal RainSport 5, both offer unique advantages.


The Goodyear Efficient Grip Performance 2, a successor to the popular Goodyear Efficient Grip Performance, is a standout summer tyre with an impressive rating of 84%. It excels in terms of mileage, price/value, and comfort, according to Autobild's comparison test in which it clinched the 13th position out of 53 tyres. It also came out 4th in the ADAC's tyre test pool of 15. Another testament to the Efficient Grip Performance 2's impressive performance are the short braking distances and high mileage it guarantees, as attested by Autobild 2022, albeit at a slightly higher price range. More information on this tyre can be obtained from Goodyear's official website.


On the other hand, the Uniroyal RainSport 5, is a distinct summer tyre that performs exceptionally well in aquaplaning situations. It shines in the area of exterior noise reduction, as noted in the ADAC's tyre test where it positioned 13th out of 15. Autobild's test ranked it 19th, highlighting its excellence in handling both cross and longitudinal aquaplaning. It's worth noting, however, that it demonstrates certain weaknesses on dry surfaces, contributes to higher fuel consumption, and exhibits lesser mileage relative to the Goodyear Efficient Grip Performance 2. You'll find further details on the Uniroyal's product page.


In summary, if price/value, comfort, and high mileage are your top priorities, the Goodyear Efficient Grip Performance 2 appears to be the superior choice. However, for those who often drive in wet conditions and place a premium on noise reduction and aquaplaning resistance, the Uniroyal RainSport 5 may be the ideal fit. Always consult the manufacturer's guidelines or your tyre retailer for personal advice geared towards your specific needs and conditions.
