Goodyear EfficientGrip Performance: Superior Wet Grip and Fuel Efficiency
Unmatched Wet Traction
Experience the ultimate in wet traction with the Goodyear EfficientGrip Performance tire. Engineered with an optimized tread compound, this tire offers exceptional grip on wet roads, ensuring your safety and control even in challenging weather conditions.
Advanced Technology for Optimal Performance
The EfficientGrip Performance tire incorporates Active WearControl Technology, providing the perfect balance between low rolling resistance and high wet grip. This innovative technology ensures that you enjoy a smooth and fuel-efficient drive without compromising on safety.
Short Braking Distances for Enhanced Confidence
Equipped with Active Braking 3D-Block Technology, this tire delivers short braking distances on dry surfaces, giving you the confidence to drive with peace of mind. The increased road contact during braking enhances your vehicle's stopping power, providing you with greater control.
Fuel Savings and High-Speed Stability
The Cool Cushion Layer significantly reduces rolling resistance, contributing to lower fuel consumption and cost savings. Additionally, the stable center ribs ensure precise steering response, while the variable pitch and thin shoulder grooves minimize road noise, offering a quiet and comfortable ride.
Key Benefits
- Rated A for wet grip according to EU labeling regulations, the highest rating possible, providing you with superior control.
- Short braking distances on wet roads enhance your confidence in the tire's performance.
- Optimized rolling resistance reduces fuel costs, thanks to the innovative Cool Cushion Layer.
- WearControl Technology ensures an ideal balance between grip and efficiency, while the 3D-Block Technology guarantees short dry braking distances.
Choose the Goodyear EfficientGrip Performance tire for an exceptional driving experience that combines safety, efficiency, and comfort.
EfficientGrip Performance
The tyre with improved grip and shorter braking distances on wet roads
Boost your driving confidence with enhanced grip, for reduced braking distances even in the wettest conditions.
A-rated* grip on wet roads
Reduced fuel consumption
Shorter braking distances, with improved wet braking
Low rolling resistance
Superior grip on wet roads
The EfficientGrip Performance tyre demonstrates such outstanding grip on wet surfaces that the majority of sizes available have received an A rating under EU regulations ïż½ the highest rating possible.
The best wet braking with minimal resistance
Goodyear's WearControl Technology is designed to strike the ideal balance between a firm grip on wet roads, and low rolling resistance, to reduce your petrol consumption and ensure a smoother ride.
Reduced braking distance
Enjoy the ultimate driving confidence on every journey with ActiveBraking Technology. This feature creates a larger contact surface between the tyre and road, to deliver dramatically shorter braking distances as much as 8% less on wet roads, and up to 3% less on dry.
Save on fuel
Each tyre is made with a specially designed base compound that manages energy dissipation across the tyre. This FuelSaving Technology reduces rolling resistance by as much as 8%, which boosts fuel efficiency and decreases your costs over the long term.

The Tire Labeling Ordinance specifies the information requirements on fuel efficiency, wet grip and external rolling noise from tires. In addition, reference is made to the winter properties of the product.
The EU 1222/2009 regulation that has been in force since November 1st, 2012 has been revised and will be replaced by regulation EU 2020/740 from May 1st, 2021; From this point on, new requirements apply. The rating classes for fuel efficiency, wet grip and exterior noise have been changed and the layout of the EU label has been adjusted. The manufacturer's product data sheets stored in the EU database can be downloaded via a QR code integrated into the label. Information on snow grip and ice grip is also newly included for tires that meet these criteria.
The following tires are exempt from the regulation: - tires that are designed exclusively for installation on vehicles that were first registered before October 1, 1990 - retreaded tires (until a corresponding extension of EU VO 2020/740 has taken place) - professional off - Road tires - Racing tires - Tires with additional devices to improve traction, eg studded tires - T-type emergency tires - Tires with a permissible speed below 80 km/h - Tires for rims with a nominal diameter ≤ 254 mm or ≥ 635 mm
The criteria and evaluation classes at a glance
fuel efficiency
The fuel consumption depends on the rolling resistance of the tyres, the vehicle itself, the driving conditions and the driving style of the driver. The measured rolling resistance (rolling resistance coefficient) of the tire is divided into classes A (highest efficiency) to E (lowest efficiency).
If a vehicle is completely equipped with class A tires, a consumption reduction of up to 7.5%* is possible compared to class E tyres. In the case of commercial vehicles, it can even be higher. (Source: European Commission Impact Assessment * when measured according to the test methods set out in Regulation (EU) 2020/740)
Please note: Fuel consumption depends to a large extent on your own driving style and can be significantly reduced by driving in an environmentally friendly manner. Tire pressure should be checked regularly to improve fuel efficiency.
wet grip
Wet grip is divided into classes A (shortest braking distance) - E (longest braking distance).
If a car is equipped with class A tires, compared to class E tires, a braking distance of up to 18 m can be reduced when braking from 80 km/h (on a road surface with average grip).* *Source: wdk Economic Association of the German Rubber Industry eV
Please note: Traffic safety depends to a large extent on your own driving style. The stopping distances must always be observed. Tire pressure should be checked regularly to improve wet grip.
External rolling noise
The noise emitted by a tire affects the overall volume of the vehicle and affects not only your own driving comfort, but also the noise pollution of the environment. In the EU tire label, the external rolling noise is divided into 3 classes from A (lowest rolling noise) - C (highest rolling noise), measured in decibels (dB) and compared with the European noise emission limit values for external tire rolling noise.
A The pictogram with the classification "A" indicates that the tire's external rolling noise is more than 3 dB below the EU limit value in force until 2016. B The "B" classification means that the tyre's external rolling noise is up to 3 dB below or equal to the EU limit value in force until 2016. C The classification "C" indicates that the specified limit value is exceeded.
