Goodyear EfficientGrip Performance 2 vs Michelin e.Primacy — Compared

“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”

“17" Goodyear efficient grip performance 2 small leak Hi, On my VW Touran 2019, 1.5 TSI, 17" alu oem wheels I have set Goodyear efficient grip performance 2 . There is a small leak lets say the pressure goes fro m 2.5psi to 2 psi in approx 7-10 days. The VW tpms warns me usually every 2-3 weeks. Those are summer tires, I just removed them for swapping with winter ones and I haven't cleaned them yet. They are quite dirty at the moment. The leaking one, pictured, was in the front this year, I switch them front/back every year. In my opinion it can do one last year (next summer) in the back. How would you fix the leak? I read those slime sprays damages the tire internally over time, but them its really approaching end of life fast in my opinion... I did visual inspection, I really dont see anything except maybe 1or two very tiny mark that could have been a nail puncture or something but its nothing sure... Maybe soap+ water? Thanks for hints. Ps: I have the tool somewhere for the indicator measurement, I cant find it right now.”

“Advice on new tyres So my car got stolen (RIP) and I bought a 16' MB c200d with rears 245/40r18 Its time to change them and I don't know what to do. A/S are not needed because snow is very rare in central Spain. Winter temperatures range between 0-10°C and summer range from 30 to 40. As I drive 25-30000 km per year I especially value wet performance and durability (Minimum 35-40000 km). The problem is, the tyres that would fit perfectlly to me are not available in this size (GY efficient grip performance 2 -best tyres i've ever had- and Michelin Primacy 5). What i've seen is Firestone (both roadhawk 2 and roadhawk sport), continental PC7, GY assy 6, Michelin PS5, bridgestone T6, Dunlop sport TG, kormoran/tigar/Taurus summer 2, nexen sport, hancook (Ventus evo 137 and Ventus prime 4) and kumho ps72. Even though It would be nice to save some money, i'm worried about losing rear grip when wet (its my first rwd) so its not important. What would you pick? Read more”

“Michelin E.Primacy vs Pilot Sport 4 — care iau vara 2026 pentru sedan compact? Salutare! Trebuie să schimb anvelopele de iarnă și m-am blocat între două variante Michelin pentru 205/55 R16. Amândouă sunt verificate de ani de zile, dar profilele sunt foarte diferite. Michelin E.Primacy — 94H Anvelopă eco, gândită pentru consum redus și confort. Testele independente arată un consum cu 15-20% mai mic față de un Pilot Sport 4 pe autostradă. Zgomot redus, confortabilă pe drumuri naționale. Perfectă dacă faci în principal drumuri lungi și vrei să economisești la pompă. Michelin Pilot Sport 4 — 94Y Ea e anvelopa sportivă din gama Michelin. Aderență uscat excelentă, răspuns precis la direcție, se simte o diferență clară în viraje. Dar consumă mai mult și e puțin mai zgomotoasă. Dacă îți place să conduci dinamic, asta e alegerea clară. Contextul meu: Sedan compact, ~1300 kg Drumuri mixte: 50% oraș, 30% național, 20% autostradă Conducere normală, nu agresivă Buget mediu spre sus Ceea ce m-a atras la E.Primacy e voucherul Michelin activ până la 30 aprilie — 300-500 lei înapoi la set de 4 anvelope. Practic diferența de preț față de Pilot Sport 4 se micșorează considerabil. Voi ce ați alege între cele două? Sau aveți alte recomandări în aceeași gamă de preț?”

“Michelin E.Primacy All Season far better than OEM continental 2023 Model Y 19 inch wheels. I was about to get rid of this because of bad NVH, comfort. But the Michelins make it far far better.”

“Michelin E Primacy opinions? Hello, I have a 2023 BMW X3 RWD. The original tires are currently at 4 mm in the front and 3.5 mm in the rear after 24k miles, so they’re almost due for replacement. The car is mainly driven in town, and we live in southern Tennessee where snow is very rare (maybe 1–2 days a year), although temperatures do drop below freezing in the winter. I’m considering Michelin e.Primacy (grand touring summer) tires since they’re available at a great price—about $158 each after rebate. Would these be a poor choice for this type of climate?”
