According to a test performed by Autoklub ČR, the Goodyear Efficient Grip Performance ranked 8th out of 19 tyres tested for its dry handling. The Firestone Roadhawk, however, ranked 11th, indicating that the Goodyear tyre performed better in dry conditions.


In an ADAC test, the Efficient Grip Performance ranked 12th overall out of 16 tested tyres for its aquaplaning capabilities both longitudinally and across different water depths.
