Our Test Results

Innovation drives us.
Since 1898, we've excelled at coming up with new ideas. Our tyres are not only innovative - they are also highly rated by experts. Goodyear tyres have been tested in independent European tyre magazines over many years - with outstanding results. Our engineers evaluate every new tyre design on more than 50 performance criteria. This is how we can ensure high quality and give you a better driving experience.

Electric Vehicle (EV) ready

All new and current Goodyear tires are optimized to provide exceptional performance for electric and internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles, as evidenced by the new Goodyear EV-Ready logo that has been introduced on the sidewall of all new replacement tires starting in early 2024.

Goodyear has developed a toolkit of technologies to suit both EVs and other powertrains including:

  • SoundComfort Technology: Drivers become more aware of noise created by tires and roads interaction as the most noticeable change in EV’s is just how quiet the car is. To ensure the EV journey stays as quiet as possible, SoundComfort technology has the potential to reduce interior noise up to 50%.
  • Mileage Plus Technology: As EV’s are heavier than traditional vehicles, there can be more wear on electric car tires. Combined with instant torque this can cause standard tires to wear more quickly, also depending on the driving behaviour. Using technologies such as the Mileage Plus Technology, the Goodyear EfficientGrip Performance 2, for example, can give drivers up to 50% more mileage than its predecessor.
  • Rolling Resistance Technologies: Goodyear’s Low Rolling Resistance technologies contribute to reducing energy consumption and extending the driving range. Extending the driving range can be achieved by optimizing the tire structure, in combination with developing innovative compounds and aerodynamically tuning the sidewall design    
Benefits
EFFICIENTGRIP PERFORMANCE 2 - Summer Tire - 215/50/R18/92V
Mileage Plus Technology
High tread elasticity and flexibility results in less fractures caused by rough road conditions (over a wide range of temperatures).
Wet Braking Technology
Lower compound stiffness facilitates block bending and wiping out of water. Longer and increased number of gripping edges facilitates water evacuation.
Dry Stability Plus Technology
Larger ribs at the center of the tread ensure higher stiffness

C
Fuel efficiency
Fuel efficiency is a measure of the tyre's rolling resistance. A tyre with low rolling resistance is fuel efficient because it requires less energy to roll. Fuel efficiency is rated from A (highest rating) to E (lowest rating).
B
Wet grip
Wet grip measures the braking ability of the tyre on wet surfaces. Wet grip is rated from A (shortest stopping distance) to E (longest stopping distance).
A
Exterior noise
Measures the tyre's noise level outside the vehicle in decibels. The noise class is rated from A (quiet) to C (loud).
