Comparison: Nokian WetProof vs. Goodyear Efficient Grip Performance vs. Continental PremiumContact 7

Today, we compare two highly-rated summer tyres, the Nokian WetProof and the Goodyear Efficient Grip Performance. Both tyres come from renowned manufacturers and have been marked as top performers in various test categories.

Nokian WetProof, designed by Finnish tyre manufacturer, Nokian Tyres, comes with an impressive 83% rating from our site. Clearly, this tyre is a strong contender when it comes to delivering reliable performance during the summer season. According to data from Autoklub čR, it scored high in the ‘Exterior Noise’ category and finished sixth out of nineteen tyres. In the ACE test, WetProof took the top spot out of nine tested tyres due to its exceptional ‘Wet Braking’, ‘Wet Handling’ and ‘Objective Wet Handling’ performance. Additionally, AutoMotorSport recognized the WetProof as their top performer thanks to its strengths in ‘Dry Braking’, ‘Objective Dry Handling’, ‘Dry Lane Changing’, ‘Exterior Noise’, and ‘Wet Braking’.

Meanwhile, Goodyear Efficient Grip Performance is a high-performing product from Slovenian manufacturer Goodyear. It has been rated 79% on our site and has shown noticeable performance in a diverse array of tests. Notably, it excelled in Autoklub čR ‘Dry Handling’ and took the eighth position out of nineteen tyres in total. In the ACE test, it was noted for its exemplary performance in the ‘Dry Handling’, ‘Rolling resistance’, ‘Wet Handling’, and ‘Objective Wet Handling’ categories, finishing as number six out of nine tyres. It landed the fourth spot in AutoMotorSport's test, displaying great performance in the ‘Aquaplaning - Longitudinal’ and ‘Wet Handling’ categories.

It's also worth noting that the Goodyear Efficient Grip Performance has since been replaced by a newer model, the Goodyear Efficient Grip Performance 2, further enhancing its performance and efficiency capabilities.

Verdict: Overall, both tyres deliver a strong performance. For quiet and top wet and dry braking performance, Nokian WetProof comes out ahead. However, for drivers who prioritize dry handling and stronger aquaplaning resistance, the Goodyear Efficient Grip Performance is a solid choice. It's clear that both tyres uphold the high standards set by their manufacturers, making them excellent options for your summer tyre needs.
