Bridgestone Turanza T005 vs Goodyear EfficientGrip — Compared

“Fahrwerkeinstellstand =. Chassis alignment stand My 535i's alignment was fine for the first 52k miles, until I hit a massive hole dug in the street by the Bubbaville Beach Water and Sewer Department (BBWSD)”

“Bridgestone Turanza T005 tyres... Are they really shit or is there something wrong with my car? I've just had brand new ones fitted, I don't expect them to be amazing in this weather but I'm slipping and sliding all over the place. My car has less grip than my old tyres with 2mm left. Seriously, I went round a roundabout last night at 20mph and drifted out from the inner lane. Could there be something I need to get checked because I don't feel quite safe with them on...

“For more detailed information and a projection of the consumption advantage based on an example: Below is the link to the EU regulation on tire labeling and the information from the Michelin homepage for comparison with other efficient tires: ... 0740&rid=1 Group C1 is listed in the regulation as: A: <=6.5 kg/t B: 6.7 to 7.7 kg/t C: 7.8 to 9 kg/t The Bridgestone EP500 is in class B Use the following formula to calculate the consumption advantage: F_ROLL:g*M*CR = rolling resistance in J/m For kWh/100km: F_Rolll*100000/3600 Example based on my 120ah REX Bridgestone EP500/Turanza T005 (7.17 kg/t and 5.81 kg/t respectively) 9.81*1465*0.00717=103.0 J/m = 2.86 kWh/100km 9.81*1465*0.00581=83.5 J/m = 2.32 kWh/100km Michelin e Primacy (5.58 kg/t and 5.13 kg/t respectively) 9.81*1465*0.00558=83.4 J/m = 2.32 kWh/100km 9.81*1465*0.00513=73.7 J/m = 2.05 kWh/100km Reduction of 0.55 kWh/100km for new tires Reduction of 0.27 kWh/100km for worn tires For me, that was reason enough to choose this one”

“Goodyear EfficientGrip Performance SUV - disappointing ditchfinders? Hi all, We're about 4 months into our EX30 ownership (dual motor, UK) and as the weather here changes into the winter and roads become greasy and slippy, I've become increasingly disappointed in the OEM Goodyear boots that the car came supplied with. They are twitchy, lose traction very easily and often break away at the back end without even the smallest amount of provocation. My wife has also commented that they don't inspire confidence in the wet and she's found herself tip-toeing around them at junctions and roundabouts in a way that she's never had to do with other car / tyre combos. Our previous car (Cupra Born) also had Goodyears as OEM tyres, but I don't remember them being as bad as these. In the end, those were recalled by the manufacturer and we had Continentals on for most of our life with the car, which were absolutely fine even with only RWD. The other car is on its second set of Michelin CrossClimates (which are absolutely excellent!) and I'd planned on fitting these to the EX30 when the Goodyears wore out, but I'm now seriously considering replacing them early and flogging them on as part-worns to recoup a bit of the lost cash. I certainly wouldn't have picked Goodyears myself, but does anyone else have any experience (especially on crappy UK autumn road conditions!) that they care to share before I go and burn some money on an early-race pit stop...?

“Goodyear EfficientGrip - fitted in 2023 ~€520. Currently have 54k on them. Probably got another 2-3k before they’re down to the wear bars.”

“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”
