Comparison: Pirelli Cinturato P7 vs. Goodyear Efficient Grip Performance vs. Firestone Roadhawk 2

When it comes to optimal road performance, your choice of tyres can make a significant difference. In this comparison, we take a look at two highly rated tyres; the Pirelli Cinturato P7 and the Goodyear Efficient Grip Performance.


Manufactured by Pirelli, an Italian brand known for quality and durability, the Cinturato P7 is a top-tier summer tyre with a staggering 75% rating from our reviewers. It stood out in tests, especially for its dry handling, dry steering response, interior noise and wet braking features. This tyre held its own in the ACE tests ranking 9 out of 9, and in the AutoMotorSport and Gute-Fahrt tests where it achieved 5th positions. Made in Italy and Romania and designed for optimal summer performance, these tyres offer a great balance between speed, safety, and endurance.


On the other side of the coin, we have the Goodyear Efficient Grip Performance, produced by Goodyear, a Slovenian manufacturer recognized worldwide. Even though it only scored 43% on our rating, this tyre fared somewhat better in the mutual tests. It came in 6th out of 9 in the ACE tests, while in the AutoMotorSport tests, it outperformed numerous competitors snagging the 4th position and additionally secured an impressive 3rd position in the Gute-Fahrt tests. This tyre exhibits excellent features in dry handling, rolling resistance, wet handling, and longitudal aquaplaning.


It's noteworthy to mention that the Goodyear Efficient Grip Performance has been upgraded to the Goodyear Efficient Grip Performance 2. Therefore, fans of the brand or the specific model may want to check out this newer version as it promises to offer improvements on its predecessor.


In conclusion, both tyres offer exceptional performance in their own right. However, based on our ratings and test results, the Pirelli Cinturato P7 appears more balanced in all conditions, while the Goodyear Efficient Grip Performance notably excels in wet handling. Therefore, your choice between the two may hinge on specific preferences or driving conditions.
