How scores work
- Relative score
- 0–100. Blends road tests (60%) and owner reviews (40%) category by category, the same way on every TireWheelGuide page. With only one of the two, the missing half is estimated from it, so the score stays closer to average. It needs at least one road test or five owner reviews.
- Road tests
- 0–100 per score, from published tests, newer tests counting more. Each result is compared with every other tire in the same test, so a win against a strong field counts for more. The average tested tire gets 70, the best 100; with only one or two tests a tire stays nearer 70. The discipline rows show % of the best tire in that test.
- Owner reviews
- 0–100 from the owner reviews we found online, adjusted for how generously each site rates and scaled like the road tests: the average tested tire gets 70. With only a few reviews a tire stays near the average.

The Goodyear Hydragrip is widely regarded as a specialist tire that excels in wet-weather conditions, offering exceptional hydroplaning resistance and confidence-inspiring grip in rain. While it is highly praised for family-oriented comfort and safety, it is generally considered less effective for performance-oriented dry handling and can suffer from increased noise levels and accelerated wear as the tire ages.
Pros
- Exceptional wet-weather traction and hydroplaning resistance
- High levels of ride comfort and stability
- Strong safety performance for family vehicles
- Good value for money relative to premium competitors
Cons
- Increased road noise after significant mileage
- Mediocre dry-weather handling and responsiveness
- Rapid tread wear reported under spirited driving conditions
- Limited availability in current market sizes
Worth knowing
- Users report the tire is best suited for family people carriers and daily commuters rather than performance-oriented vehicles.
- Drivers of rear-wheel-drive vehicles noted significant handling imbalances when the tires were fitted to the front axle.
