EGP2 outlasts and outbrakes its predecessor — the original still serves where the new generation doesn't fit.
Within Goodyear's passenger tyre range, the GoodYear Efficientgrip Performance 2 and the Goodyear Efficient Grip Performance occupy different moments in the brand's development — one is the current benchmark, the other its predecessor still available across a wide size catalogue. Understanding what changed between generations explains which one belongs on your car. The original Efficient Grip Performance was a solid, balanced summer tyre with notably strong aquaplaning resistance and respectable dry dynamics. The Efficientgrip Performance 2 builds on that foundation and advances it substantially — with dramatically better tread life, improved wet braking, quieter cabin behaviour, and a fuel efficiency profile that earned it OE fitment on the Renault Mégane E-TECH. These are not rivals; they are a before-and-after story, and knowing where each sits helps buyers who find the original still listed in their size make an informed call.

If your car takes a size between 15 and 21 inches that the EGP2 covers, there is little reason to look at the older generation. The Goodyear Efficient Grip Performance earns its place for one specific reason: size availability. Its 52-size catalogue includes R14 fitments and a broader spread of older or less common dimensions, making it the relevant Goodyear choice when the EGP2 isn't listed for your vehicle. Buyers in that situation are still getting a capable summer tyre with solid aquaplaning resistance and good dry dynamics — just with shorter tread life and slightly less assured wet braking than the current generation delivers.
