Goodyear Efficient Grip 2?

[Acuity30]

Looking at getting these fitted to a 140bhp daily driver. Nothing powerful. Just wondered if anyone has fit them and can comment on what they're like? Found a local place who will fit for £125 per tyre on 17's which is reasonable. Supposedly rated A for wet weather driving and somewhat efficient and low road noise. Existing tyres are worn on the inner edge to the cords so needless to say I'm getting the tracking done at the same time

This type was standard fit on Up! GTis. They are not popular with many owners swapping to, IIRC, Michelin PS.

Funnily enough i’m getting 2 of those fitted on Monday!
I always use Tyres On The Drive as at home. Will need my tracking done after at a tyre place.

Bit cheaper if the same size?

Currently have a set of 4 on Mrs E's Mazda, an excellent all-round tyre with no issues at all.

I have these all round as a staggered set on my 335d xdrive (313ps). They work pretty good, I am happy.
I went from 19” Pirelli PZero to 18” Goodyear Efficient grip, to improve ‘pothole-ability’: comfortable, quiet, and good in the wet.

4 fitted last year, 2 x pairs several months apart, to a family Golf, thankfully more sensible sizes so circa £80 apiece fitted.

Nothing bad to report, they do everything you ask, the bonus is they come with a good 8mm new tread which is more than can be said for most premium makes, about the only decent summer rated tyre now sold with deeper new tread is Uniroyal Rainsport.

Yes, I forgot to mention the 8mm tread depth. Plus, they wear slowly too! After 21k miles from fitting, fronts and rears are both showing exactly 5mm tread depth left (so if changed at 2mm, they are half-way worn, although I will probably replace at 3mm if winter is approaching).

Ran these on a Jag X-type - perfect for that.

Not even remotely, all all, one bit, sporty. Perfect for a non sporty daily driver, quiet, efficient, soft and comfortable but long lasting.

The Uniroyal Rainsport 5 is a very good alternative too - again, dont be fooled into thinking its anything remotely sporty.

[Acuity30]

Sounds ideal. Not looking for sporty. Quiet, long lasting with good rain performance is all you need for a DD commuter

Quite awful in the cold and wet on the wife's Up! GTI. Even she complains about them and she's normally driving Miss Daisy.

We're in the process of sorting some more popular sized wheels to get some proper tyres on it.

Jon at TyreReviews found them to be more than adequate - at 11:30.

Had them fitted and very impressed with dry and wet performance. Only problem now is oversteer, since the fronts have tons of grip but the rears are old ditch finders. Makes for some humorous roundabout turns. But I don't want to be dealing with that around traffic so booking it in to have the rears done too. £125 per tyre really isnt a bad deal considering how well they perform. Fairly quiet too. If only the garage could do the tracking properly so the wheel is straight
