Community feedback on the Goodyear EfficientGrip Performance is generally favorable, with drivers highlighting quiet road noise, good comfort, and solid wet and dry grip. Some users raise concerns regarding sidewall vulnerability and potential long-term cracking, while others inquire about variations in tread patterns.
“Quote: Originally Posted by manson The tyre noise between the three runs on the Goodyear EGP series was averaged at 74.1 dB. ... A little later, the GLA was ready to go on the Continental tyres and between the 3 runs (same as for the EGP series), the sound keeper recorded an average noise level of 76.3 dB . This implied a ~3% lower noise level on the EGP tyres: Although it is ~3% dB over dB, considering that 3dB corresponds to 2x loudness, the reduction may be more significant than what the number suggests.”
“Thanks for the comments and suggestions. As it turns out I could not get the Continental PremiumContact 6 so I ordered a set of Goodyear EfficientGrip Performance 225/60 R16 102W XL from local shop. I have had these Goodyears in several cars in the past and they have been very good so far. Hopefully same continues with the W140.”
“I've just had these fitted too and have to say they seem much quieter than my Kumhos and certainly dry grip is excellent ( though I don't tend to drift round corners, unless something has gone wrong!)”

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.
