“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”

“Ultra contact is average, never tried e-primacy but currently on primacy 5 and they aren't worth the price . My brother drives on Goodyear efficient grip performance 2 currently, and they are way better than ultra contact ( he used them last year, and better than my michelin), so honestly it would be a no brainer to go with Goodyear for me. BUT since you're driving a mazda 3, can't you find continental premium contact in this size ? They are really GOOD, I had them last year, you always have good grip, dry/wet, doesn't matter, that tire is very alive in corner, it enjoys being pushed in corners, only downside is that they wear faster than Goodyear, but I say it's well worth it.”

“How bad is this? Should I replace these Goodyear efficient grips? Apparent tread chipping. DOT 2021, Made in 🇩🇪. Run 30k kilometres(18,000 miles). Mild off-roading on some back roads. Has seen 2 summers in Dubai. Chipping only in front 2 tyres. Diligently rotated tyres every 10k kms. Please advice …..”

How do we compare tires?
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.
Community buzz from Reddit and forums is shown for context only — it never changes the score.
