We've compiled a comparison between the Goodyear Efficient Grip Performance and the Firestone Roadhawk, two popular summer tyres to help you make an informed decision. Please note that the Goodyear Efficient Grip Performance model has been replaced with a new and improved version, the Goodyear Efficient Grip Performance 2.


Overall, based on our rating, the Goodyear Efficient Grip Performance received a score of 79% while the Firestone Roadhawk achieved a score of 72%. This points to the Goodyear Efficient Grip Performance being a generally better tyre in most conditions.


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. On the other hand, the Firestone Roadhawk performed significantly better in the same test, clinching the 4th position for its dry driving behavior, safety, and wet braking attributes.


Interestingly, in the Autobild test featuring 51 different tyres, the Goodyear Efficient Grip Performance was ranked 11th for its ability in preventing aquaplaning. Astonishingly, despite the lower overall score, the Firestone Roadhawk shone in this test, obtaining a podium position in 3rd place.
