“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”

“GOODYEAR EfficientGrip Performance 205/55 R17 91V - reliability and resistance to damage question Hello guys! I'm driving Skoda Octavia. not a racer, just a usual 40yo man. I have a set of GOODYEAR EfficientGrip Performance 205/55 R17 91V on the car, and during the last 2 months I lost three tires, all the same way - pothole on the road, visibly small, front right wheel, instantly deflates, and a hole in tire not on tread but on the side - irreparable, new tire for 130eur, repeat again. Do you by chance know if it's the pattern for the model, or am I getting EXTREMELY unlucky? Can you maybe suggest some tire models and characteristics to look into to stop this from happening? I have only 2 out of 4 original tires left, so maybe it makes sense to change the entire set.”

“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”

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.
