Comparison: Goodyear Efficient Grip Performance vs. Cooper Zeon CS8 vs. Semperit Speed-Life 3 vs. Michelin e.Primacy vs. Nokian WetProof

When comparing two well-known tyres, the Goodyear Efficient Grip Performance and the Cooper Zeon CS8, there are several factors to consider. Both tyres are designed for summer use and offer different advantages to the driver.


The Goodyear Efficient Grip Performance tyre, manufactured in Slovenia, received a high overall rating of 75% from our team. This model excelled particularly in tests related to wet conditions, like 'Aquaplaning - cross', helping to enhance safety during rainy weather. Despite its impressive credentials, please keep in mind that it has been replaced by the Goodyear Efficient Grip Performance 2.


On the other hand, the Cooper Zeon CS8 tyre, which is made in Great Britain, had an overall rating of 50% from our experts. Unfortunately, the details on the specific areas in which this tyre excels are not available. It is important to note that, unlike the Goodyear tyre, this model has not yet been replaced by a newer version.


When it comes to test results, both tyres were very close across the different comparisons. In the Autobild test, the Goodyear tyre secured the 11th position out of 51 tyres, while the Cooper tyre claimed the 13th spot. In the ADAC comparison, Goodyear ranked 12th out of 16 tyres and Cooper landed at 14th place.


Interestingly, the Gute-Fahrt results showed a significant gap between the two tyres. The Goodyear tyre excellently bagged the 3rd spot out of 10 tyres, while the Cooper tyre made it to the 9th place.


In conclusion, our examination points towards the Goodyear Efficient Grip Performance being a superior choice overall. However, the Cooper Zeon CS8 still performs admirably and may offer certain benefits based on specific individual factors like vehicle type and usage.


Remember that wise tyre selection always depends on your personal driving preferences and conditions. Always consider multiple sources of information and consult a trusted professional before making a final decision.
