The Goodyear Efficientgrip 2 SUV has been tested and reviewed by various organizations, showcasing its performance as a summer tire for SUVs. Autobild praised the tire for its impressive premium quality, providing excellent driving characteristics on all surfaces. Additionally, they noted the tire's harmonious balance between wet and dry handling, short braking distances on both wet and dry surfaces, high rolling comfort, and low rolling resistance.
Autobild also highlighted the tire's good reserve capacities in aquaplaning tests, short wet braking distances, suitable off-road capability, and overall comfort for drivers. However, they mentioned a slightly increased price level compared to competitors. Meanwhile, Auto Express observed the EfficientGrip 2 SUV's strong performance in wet tests, aquaplaning resistance, and overall effectiveness, making it one of the best tires in deeper water.
Despite these positive qualities, Auto Express noted that the tire's dry performance wasn't as strong, resulting in a slightly dull performance on the dry handling track, requiring more lock and pushing wide relatively easily. Nevertheless, the Goodyear Efficientgrip 2 SUV was praised for its quiet and comfortable ride, being the top choice for cabin noise reduction and having low rolling resistance, with only a one percent increase in fuel consumption compared to the winning tire.
In summary, the Goodyear Efficientgrip 2 SUV is a highly regarded summer tire for SUVs, with excellent grip and handling in both wet and dry conditions, good aquaplaning resistance, and a comfortable and quiet ride. However, its dry performance may not be as strong as some competitors. Overall, it is a suitable choice for those who prioritize comfort, wet handling, and fuel efficiency over ultimate dry handling capabilities.
