Description of Goodyear EfficientGrip Performance 215/60 R16 99W Summer
Efficient Grip Performance. A tire with increased grip and shorter braking distances on wet roads. Wet grip category A*. The Goodyear EfficientGrip Performance summer passenger tire is one of the latest innovations from the North American manufacturer. Unlike other representatives of this tire line, this model is designed exclusively for powerful passenger cars. The speed ratings assigned to it - H, V, W and Y - testify to the high performance of this tire. WearControl technology is perhaps the key feature of this model. Its use in this tire is inspired by the desire to strike the perfect balance between high traction in all conditions with other signature features of the entire family of energy efficient models, namely durability and fuel efficiency. This difficult task was solved by using several rubber compounds. That is, the tread of the Goodyear EfficientGrip Performance tire consists of two layers. The inner tread layer is made of a rubber compound, which is not only characterized by high rigidity, like most competitors, but also by reduced heat generation. As you know, the tire heats up while driving, as a result of which the tread begins to break down intensively, which negatively affects the life of the tire. At the same time, all its main characteristics significantly deteriorate. In addition, the rigid inner layer provides higher resistance to dynamic deformation, and also contributes to a more uniform distribution of external pressure over the contact patch. As a result, the tire began to behave on the road more reliably and predictably. In addition, the likelihood of developing such a negative phenomenon as uneven wear has decreased. In turn, the top layer of the tread is made of a more elastic rubber compound. It is distinguished by the presence in the composition of a high content of silicon-containing components, which are also known as silica. Increased elasticity allows the tread to more tightly fit even the slightest bumps on the road surface, which ensures excellent grip, especially on wet surfaces. At the same time, due to silica, the rubber compound has become even more wear-resistant, which has a positive effect on the service life of the tire. Since the tire is designed for powerful vehicles, it was paramount to ensure a high level of safety when driving at any speed. This is largely why this tire uses an asymmetric directional tread pattern that delivers excellent performance regardless of road surface characteristics. One of the key features of this tread pattern is the 3D blocks. When braking, these tread elements increase the contact patch area. This solution has significantly reduced the braking distance. The otherwise asymmetrical tread pattern contains...

Pros
- 1) I think that from a tire from the first echelon, while the cheapest of non-Chinese ones. 2) Lowest tire weight. Michelin Energy 10 kg, Goodyear Efishen Flu 7 kg. These are not trifles! For light discs, people have a lot of tens of thousands of, but here - get / sign. It is very noticeable in the hands. 3) Rubber is very quiet, at the level of premium contact conti - from the ones I have ever had, these are the quietest tires. 4) In the sidewall, a centimeter from the edge, there is a thin place, so that even a tight-fitting sidewall is soft. Yes, comfort is high. 5) Holds and brakes like a first-tier tire. 6) Fuel consumption on a Toyota Prius car shows 3.7 on the highway (average for a run of 1700 km Hong Kong-Crimea). So there is no zhora (a lot of factors affect the consumption, and the fact that it is the minimum physically possible is a factor) 7) much of the above would be negligible if the tires were half worn out after 10 thousand km, like a NOKIA Hakka green. But no! DO NOT TAKE A NOKIA if you do not live in Hong Kong-Hong Kong, they have never been summer! My friend drove a Lancer on a Goodyear for 3 seasons and 50 thousand. the tires are not out yet. I think it's normal. I passed 15 thousand per season, including a trip to the Crimea. The rubber didn't roll in half. So don't regret your choice. 8) Tires are asymmetric, you can change any to any side, observing only the requirement for the outside side.
Cons
- 1) The most set-up is that under the same name letter for letter - different tires! I'll try to attach pictures. The drawings are different, the number of longitudinal grooves is different. 2) soft sidewall, with a bottleneck, according to reviews, leads to side cuts. I don't have that and never had it, but I'll mention it - it's not out of the question. 3) Polish tires, according to the picture, seem to be quieter than Turkish ones, but Turkish ones are 500 cheaper than Polish ones. I got into a situation when the ordered tires arrived a couple of some, a couple of others. The difference on the car is not noticeable, but if you happen to buy one more tire, this is a jamb.
Pros
- of the benefits of comfort. It was on this basis that she was chosen. And the fact that it wears out quickly is not a problem. the main thing: braking distance, directional stability, acoustic comfort.
Cons
- incredibly soft! for the year out of 4 wheels 3 suffered ! two have punctures at the transition point of the sidewall to the tread. and today cut! sidewalls! something lay in a puddle near the house. that's horrible! the sidewall is also erased at a time if you rub the wheel against the curb.
Pros
- quiet, excellent road holding, does not throw in a rut
Pros
- Quiet, controllable, resistant to wear, hydroplaning, smooth on bumps
Cons
- Didn't notice
Pros
- In terms of "price / quality" there are no competitors to these tires among the products of famous brands. It is widely distributed, so you can always find a used tire of exactly the same model of any degree of wear.
Cons
- Soft sidewall, result: one hernia and one complete rupture of the sidewall (see photo) for 3 summer seasons (
Pros
- Economical, handling on wet pavement
Cons
- No
Pros
- soft quiet does not swim drives great does not wear out
Cons
- colander breaks through and catches hernias
Pros
- Hooked with the inscription "Kevlar" because, sometimes I go to the mountains
Cons
- I did not leave and the vertical beat began. Suspicion that the protector exfoliates.
Pros
- Holds the road well in the rain and on dry roads
Cons
- Cracked tires in the second year
