Higher is better. The Relative Score follows your weights below; category scores do not change.
Wet grip starts at “Important”. Treadwear starts at “Neutral” here: road tests measured it for at most one of the two tires, so it rests on owner reviews. Move the sliders and the scores update instantly.
Only one of the two tires has a score here, so this weight changes nothing in the head-to-head.

From Reddit, forums and review threads. Not part of our score
Community discussions around the Bridgestone Turanza T001 largely center on replacement decisions, tire longevity, and tread aging. Users note that the tire provides a good balance of comfort, durability, and low road noise compared to sportier alternatives, though owners frequently question surface cracking after four years of use.
“Bridgestone turanza t001 do I need to replace them with these small cracks ? It’s 4 year old since production and is it dangerous to travel alot with these small cracks?”
“Just got a new set of tyres - Bridgestone Turanza T001 215/60/R16 at 77k kms.”
“If you can, stick to the same tyre all around as mentioned, don’t mix brands or models. So if you're keeping the Turanza T001s up front, rather just get the same ones for the rear. The S001 is more performance-focused, but the T001 offers a better balance of comfort and durability. It’s quieter, rides smoother, and tends to last longer. That said, if you’re thinking about moving to something sportier, skip the S001 and go straight to the Potenza Sport. It’s a newer and more advanced tyre, still within the Bridgestone family, and a solid upgrade in terms of grip and responsiveness.”

Community opinion on the Goodyear EfficientGrip is mixed. It's often recommended as a comfortable, quiet, good-value summer or grand-touring tyre, and some owners report long life, such as 54k on one set. Others criticise it as twitchy and low on grip in the wet on the OEM SUV version, soft and vague in handling on the Performance 2, and prone to sidewall damage, cracking, chipping and slow leaks.
“Hankook ventus prime 4 VS Goodyear efficientgrip performance 2 I cannot decide between these two tires for ages now. Customer reviews seem all over the place. I drive a tuned volkswagen polo mk6 2020. I need something that inspires confidence for spirited driving in corners with good stability, mainly dry handling and braking but also relatively comfortable. So far I've learned that the goodyear is more comfortable, better in the wet, better at braking but extremely lousy in handling because of the soft sidewalls. Can someone that has used the EGP2 confirm those claims or are they exaggerating. Base spec polos are known for a harsh ride and I live in the balkans. The roads are full of potholes and sometimes you can't even drive around them. specs: 195/55R16 87V”
“Nov KUMHO ecsta sport ps 72 ili minimalno korišćen GOODYEAR efficientgrip 2? Pozdrav, molim za savet ko je imao iskustva sa ovim modelima guma. Trebaju mi letnje gume za Mazda 3 2.0 benzin 150 KS (na sport oprugama) i imam dve ponude: Nove Kumho ecsta sport ps 72 ili (pouzdano znam) 2000km korišćene Goodyear Efficientgrip performance 2 sa DOT 0726. Cena je bukvalno ista, godišnje prelazim oko 6k, volim da vozim dinamično kada može. Za Kumho sam čitao da je skoro predstavljena i da je solidna dok sam za Goodyear čitao da je za udobnu vožnju bez dinamike. Da li suštinski ta "sport" razlika može da se oseti u povremenoj dinamičnoj vožnji toliko pa da ima smisla odustati od povoljne odlične premium gume? Read more”
“Hi Llew! Currently running Pirelli Cinturato P7 Run Flats. I don't do a lot of long-distance driving anymore, so I am fine with not having a sporty feel, but I wouldn't mind trying that out, being new to BMWs. So the Khumos apparently are a better fit for that. I ran the three 3 choices (Khumo, GY, Pirelli) through chat for a comparison, and it spat out that the Goodyear EfficientGrip is a very "compelling" tyre and the better choice. Not sure what to make of that.”

Every category score blends two independent signals. 60% comes from professional tire tests (braking distances, lap times, noise measurements), each result compared with every other tire in the same test and newer tests counting more. 40% comes from owner reviews found online, adjusted for how generously each site rates. Both use one scale: the average tested tire gets 70, the best 100. When a tire has only one of the two, the missing half is estimated from the other and the score stays closer to average; with no road test and fewer than five owner reviews it gets no score yet.
Handling is the exception: road tests measure it inside the dry and wet scores, so its own row comes from owner ratings only and starts as less important.
