Good Year responded to cracked/ failed rear tyres, give you 50% on two back tyres, front tyres are showing cracking but will not offer until tyres fail. what sort of organisation says the 107 load rating was too low for the Everest that has caused the issue, but drive until your front tyres fail. I assume that they will then say the are too old to… Read more
consider. LAST GOOD YEAR TYRES I WILL EVER BUY. Have rejected the offer and bought 5 new tyres with the correct load rating from reputable tyre manufacturer.
100,000km of quiet safe highway driving – After 100,000km of primarily highway driving in my Jeep Grand Cherokee, these tyres still had loads of tread depth and still safe, and quiet at 110km/h and in the wet. Had to replace due to tyre separation (bulges). Look after these tyres and you can get excellent duration (keep an eye out for feeling of tyre "lumpiness" esp at low speed as the tyre gets older).

Pretty ordinary – Tyres perform ok but at 35000 ks are just about done. These were on my new x class and disappointed with a supposedly premium tyres lack of durability. On road is okay but poor off road. Show details

Really Good Tyres – Needed to replace my Michelin Primacy 3 run flat and these tyres were recommended by Bob Jane - Blacktown (awesome place and service). I’ve always said, there’s nothing good about a Goodyear tyre. Well, I stand corrected. Put these Goodyear Efficient Grips on my BMW X3 and I’m very impressed. They are up there with the Michelin Primacy 3 for dry… Read more
and wet weather grip. They are also smoother rotating and much quieter. Been driving in these horrendous wet Sydney conditions and they are a sure footed stable tyre that drive in the wet like they are on a dry road. Can’t comment on how long they will last but if you’re after a good SUV run flat for a mid range price, then I highly recommend the Efficient Grips.
105000km on a set – Bought my daughter a Rav4 which had a new set of Goodyear Efficient Grip tyres on it. Fast forward almost four years and 105k km later they are still legal - barely though. The mileage is truly amazing and the wear is even across the tread. I have booked in to get another set this week. I generally have Bridgestone on all my cars but there is no way I would get this sort of mileage out of a set. Would recommend these to anyone. Show details
These tyres are really awesome – I bought a set of Goodyear efficient grips for my MQ Triton back in May 2019. I've done 10,000kms on them and they are still going great. They create a slightly different noise to the Bridgestone ones the vehicle came with but this is not an issue and you have to listen out for it the noise is that faint. They are grippy in wet or dry… Read more
conditions. They make the vehicle grip very well in cornering. Breaking is also very good. They also appear to wear quite well. I am very hard on my tyres because I corner too aggressively. The shoulders at 10,000 do not have any noticeable wear.
I would recommend these tyres to anyone with a Triton like mine who does not go off road.

Worst tyres – I have done only 750km and I Contact Goodyear via email as i was not happy how they handle the corners. i replaced my Bridgestone dueler 215/65 16 with 75000km and the old tyre they were handling better in dry and wet conditions than a brand new tyre. Dealer told me they Goodyear using a different compound.The Fact Goodyear send me an email of… Read more
confirmation of my complain but they did not even made an effort to contact me with the solution or too see if there any faulty tyre.
New tyres – Good durable Tyres which has served me well but in city driving and a little offloading in national parks. They were a little pricey but the two told me its worth spending a little more cash to get longevity and safety. Overall a good product happy to recommend for use Show details

Inconsistent Wear – 2 front tyres on Jeep Grand Cherokee need replacing after 18000k in less than a year on sealed roads. The wear is even so its not an alignment issue. Have used same tyre previously and got 60000k. Goodyear not interested. (Suggested the tyres were not purchased through them what ever that means) AAA tyres Castle Hill not offering anything… Read more

OEM Goodyear tyre on Greatwall X200 – Ive done 133,000 plus kilometres on my Greatwall and haven't change my tyres on these Goodyear 235/65/R17 104H Wrangler tyres since I bought the GW brandnew. I am looking to replace them these week with same brand. Is this oem specs i had on my GW similar to efficientgrip? Show details
Goodyear EfficientGrip SUV Tyres 288/60R18 – I needed a new set of rear tyres for my Nissan Navava ST-X ute as my last set of Toyo's had done 61,000kms and were badly worn. The Toyo tyres were excellent tyres and had been on from new but priced at $510 each i want something a little cheaper but also quality. The Goodyear had a very close pattern to the Toyo and its a trusted brand. As i… Read more
drive long distances i don't like tire noise and i also need excellent grip in the wet when pulling onto main roads as a ute is rear light and can easily spin the tyres. I found the Goodyears quiet at speed and gave excellent grip in the wet and at $300 each a saving of $200 per wheel almost a bargain.
Amazing tyres! – I have recently put these on my Mazda CX-7 (235/65R17). For the first time I instantly noticed a remarkable difference between tyres. These things are amazing! They are quite, but stick to the road like glue, I also have a new found confidence driving in the wet. They are very responsive and perform like a dream. I have previously had Bridgestone and Coopers on this car before, and these tyres are the clear winners! Show details · 1
Brilliant Tyres For SUV – I put these tyres on my Ford Kuga in November 2015, they are now just over 2 years old with just over 25,000km on them. Got them rotated / balanced etc today and the shop reckons they are only about half worn. We do about 80% bitumen / 20% dirt, but that dirt portion is on some rather bad roads and they have survived without damage from sharp… Read more · 3
rocks or any punctures. The durability is exceptional!
I expected that with the increased tyre life, there would be a compromise on grip / handling etc, but this is not the case. Grip on both bitumen and dirt is good, and grip in the wet is great - it is very reassuring to drive on these tyres.
The initial purchase price is slightly higher than the competitors, but that is well worth it when you consider the value for money. I like these tyres so much, I insisted that my daughter buy them for her car - and offered to pay the difference between the cheap tyres she was going to get and the Efficientgrips.

Can’t beat these - best tyres I have ever purchased – Purchased my 2010 Subaru Outback Premium in 2015. They had brand new Goodyear Efficient grip tyres on them. Have driven 90,000 kms on these tyres - yes, 90,000 kms !!! 225 x 60 x 17 , driven mainly on rural bitumen sealed roads, no off-road stuff. Highway driving a lot. These tyres are amazing - quiet, comfortable, and incredibly safe and handled… Read more · 1
the road beautifully. Out to buy another set next week, would not even consider any other alternative. Top stuff Goodyear !!
About to put another set of these on. Brilliant SUV Tyres !! – Well my set have finally had it !!! Dayyam them!! 66,000 km after they went on they are almost down to the wear marks and I need to replace them within the next few weeks. But the time they get changed over they will have nearly 70,000 clicks on them. That's as good as you could possibly ever hope for, on a larger heavy AWD SUV. These are… Read more · 1
245/55VR19's on a 2008 Toyota Kluger Grande. Most of my driving is on rural open bitumen roads, or on Freeways and Highways. I do a reasonable bit of driving on decent dirt roads. I don't do much off roading on poor surfaces.
The roadholding and handling in both wet and dry conditions is excellent, as is their stopping ability. They are very quiet, regardless of the road surface, and they last a very long time. What more could someone possibly expect from a tyre? They aren't cheap, but you get what you pay for.
I have previously had a couple of sets of the original Factory fitted Bridgestone Dueler DL400's and a set of Toyo's on this car. They were all good tyres, but I like the Goodyears better in every respect. I liked them so much in fact that I put a set on my wife's RAV 4 about 6 months ago and she didn't get any say in what tyres were going on her car.
I will unhesitatingly be putting another set of these on the Kluger in a few weeks, irrespective of what specials or deals might be available on any other tyres.
Solid tyres – I've only had these for a few months but so far no complaints. I chose these based on the Choice review. Compared to the Yokohama Geolanders these replaced, they seem quieter and definitely handle better in the wet. Also, I got a fantastic price and good service from the Goodyear dealer in Essendon. Time will tell how well they wear but happy so far. Show details · 1
The quietest SUV tires – The noise is much smaller than the original tyre, and it's much more comfortable. began to press the hand, feel the sidewall is soft, thin, feel so big brand design should be justified. When the daily road bumps, the impact of the tire is more obvious, cushioning the general. Linear stability is good, neutral sense, the lane change, the body's… Read more · 1
response is also restored faster, dry ground control performance, grip strong, side tilt small, safe feeling strong; The wetland steering response is sensitive, the front/rear balance is good, the side tilt is small, the pile is smooth, the grip is better and more secure.
Quality you want for your family's safety – Wow who knew what a difference good tyres are compared to just new. Feeling like you don't have to be super careful and drive ultra slow in pouring rain because you have slid out even with cheap brand new tyres before makes a huge difference. They seem to have tread a lot longer and still look brand new after a few months. Best tyres ever. Show details · 1
75,000kms out of previous EfficientGrips – Noticed very good handling when I put 4 x new EfficientGrips on a few years ago. I do a lot of highway/freeway driving on the Pacific Highway each month. Have got 75,000kms out of current set, will be replacing them next week with exact same tyres, very happy with them. Show details · 1
Great tyres, really suit my vehicle – Have these on my Audi Q5, have been great and will get at least 35,000km driving on dirt roads and sealed. They a give a quiet ride. Rotated every 10 to 15,000km they really have worn well for the amount dirt rd driving as well as towing. They are excellent tyres Show details · 1
Perfect use have been used for 4years without problems – Good to use. No need to pump very often. Have been used for 4 years without change a new one. Perfect quality. I feel happy with this quality and will use this brand again in the future for my next car. Although the price is a little bit higher than other, it worthy. Show details · 1
I think these are good tyres – Did recently service at kmart and had to change the front two tyres. So i went for goodyear. Have noticed that the steering is batter and very easy to turn. Have used these tyres before as well and they were pretty good - lasted for couple of years. Durable tyres Show details

Great Tyres – I replaced the original factory tyres on my ix35 with these after getting about 55000km from said originals which I thought was pretty poor. I usually get in excess of 80000km out of a set of tyres. These tyres are quieter and definitely improve the handling. They were; however, very expensive. I hope to get considerable wear from them.

Great tyre – I had a set of the Efficient Grip SUV tyres fitted to our Subaru Forester before setting off on a trip around Australia. They replaced the original Yokohama tyres that had done about 47,000 Klms. After 9 weeks and 16,000+klms, I'm very happy with the tyres. The Efficient Grip tyres are quiet on the road and handled all weather and road… Read more · 1
conditions very well with no issues. The roads we drove were highways (NT speeds), back roads and national park unsealed roads (gravel, rocks, dirt, sand, corrugations etc. but no challenging 4WD stuff).
At the moment they're hardly showing any wear and I'd happily fit another set of these tyres when these finally wear out.
4/3/19 Update; I'm just about to replace the tyres after 45,000 kms. They may have a couple more thousand kms or so but time to get another set. I'll buy these again.
Perfect – Perfect tyre for my Mazda. Last for ages. Did not have to change for 5-7 years. Not sure if it's because of my driving or it's actual quality of the tyres. Just the problem with this brand tyre is, they are bit expensive compare to other brand of tyres. . Show details
Awesome tyre – Had these fitted to my 2010 Kia Grand Carnival in Feb 15 - immediately improved the handling and feel compared to the Michelin latitude tour. I have done 55000 on them mainly round town and are excellent in wet or dry - they have around 5mm left on them and will look to replace with same towards end of 2017 - with 4 kids in the car - wouldn't fit any other tyre Show details
best tyre I have ever had in the upper mid range price – got Goodyear Efficiency Grip size 215 60 16 for my AUIII Falcon sedan firstly, made my car look better > my previous tyres were good year Eagle NCT 5's (they were very good but the Efficiency Grip are even better- made my old car look more soild and newer) _ compared to other tyres on my car the Efficiency grip filled out the spaces in the wheel… Read more
rim area under the wheel guards. I tried going to 225 width but my guards were not big enough for that size, as the tyre seller said they would rub on the guards when turning, so in the 215 size, the Efficiency Grip filled out that area best for standard. When I first compared them to my old NCT 5's I said to myself, wow! Look at the extra rubber on those Efficiency Grips, they were on "buy three get the 4th free sale", so I grabbed them!
The are a very quiet tyre, but to be honest my NCT 5's were a fraction quiter (but the NCT 5's are the quietest tyre I have ever owned). The difference is a little extra noise only at around about 80 klms but around 100 klms and below 70 klms there is no difference.
they are a little bit heavier on steering because the Efficiency Grip puts more rubber on the road
they feel great on cornering in the dry
they have never slipped for me on cornering in the wet - but I am very careful to drive easy in the wet (so I have never pushed them in the wet)
I have had them for 43,000 klms now and rate them high for safety and for wear and tare. Just looked at the tread left after 43,000 use recently and was well pleased at the low wear, especially at the edges (both sides) where most tyres ware out. Only rotated them 3 times so far with only one extra wheel alignment since I bought them.
just like the goodyear NCT 5's the EG's tread sits square on the ground but at the same time bulge out a little (perfect). Recon I'l get 70,000 klms out of them easy! Say, compared to quality Toyo tyres I put on ages ago once, that had a rounded look on the ground (less tread on the ground), looked bad on the car, and felt like the car was more rolley around corners not feeling like it was sitting solid and square on the road. (had the toyo's taken off and replaced with NCT 5's at a $ loss). Also had the experience of Hankook tyres compared to Bridgestone Turanza tyres - Bridgesrtone Turanza noticeably better (more solid rubber all round and wider look), but I like the EG's better
bought them at Jax Tyres
after many years of diving with many tyres and numerous cars - I feel that spending an extra $20-$30 per tyre is more than well worth it - the better big name brand tyre sellers (Goodyear, Bridgestone and Dunlop) are a very good bet! For the extra few dollars you simply get more rubber and better quality rubber and longer lasting rubber (or silicon) in the tyre than the Hankook or Kumho type cheaper tyres (despite what some tyre reviews say)
My advice is go to a tyre dealer and put those same tyres together and notice the better difference for the few extra bucks
great tyres at a reasonable price – i had 4 fitted on a holden caprice. I would consider as good as the Bridgestone and I tow a heavy boat. They offer excellent grip good handling and long lasting They are a quiet tyre and will buy again I do a lot of country driving and they have lasted even on gravel roads. I am not an agressive driver and sit on speed limit. Show details
Made my car new again – Read many reviews about various tyres. The usual differences of opinion but these tyres seemed to have more positive reviews. My Mazda Tribute 2006 model which I bought quickly a bit over a year ago had bad body roll and was noisy on the road. Decided to keep running tyres for another 20000km before changing. Have been driving since 1976 so have… Read more
bought many new tyres. None has made such a significant change to a car. The body roll has gone, the noise has gone. I feel like I am driving a new sedan instead of a 10 year old SUV. Beaurepairs went out of their way to service me as I just turned up without an appointment. Will definitely be a repeat buyer of this product at this early stage but will update again in the future with a couple of years driving.
Capable, quiet and durable tyre – I've had these tyres on a Forester S Edition for 7000ks now 225/60/17. Straight away they are noticeably quieter than the OEM G95 Yokohamas. Done some dirt/rocky trail driving without punctures. Grip in the wet and dry has been great with no issues. Showing minimal wear with plenty/heaps of tread offered from new. After lots of research I bought these tyres and are very pleased with them so far. Show details
Second worst tyre I've ever owned, the worst being retreads I got for free – I am amazed that this is going to be the only bad review so far on this site for these... On a Nissan Xtrail. Paid $220 AUD a corner. Supposedly a 90/10 road off road tyre. They are the second worst tyre I've ever owned, the worst being retreads I got for free. Within 5,000 kms they were chewed out from going on a 1km stretch of gravel once a… Read more
month.
Goodyear shop advised they shouldn't be used on gravel...even though they sold them to me for that purpose. They lasted 55,000 kms in total. They were quiet for the first ~10,000 and got progressively louder, they are now very loud.
Grip in dry is bad, in wet is terrible. I easily spin wheels in the dry on a slight incline.
I'll never buy goodyear again after this. Which is a shame cause the best tyres I've ever had were goodyear (F1 eagle I think the were...that was 15 years ago)
great tyre and impressive in wet – Tyres fitted to a Kia 3.8 Grand Carnival FWD and have been very happy with the grip in the dry and wet. Also impressed by grip on dirt and gravel roads. This van is quite powerful at 185kws and will spin tyres very easiky however these tyres transformed the van in the wet. The previous Maxxis 761s were so bad in the wet (they would spin in the… Read more
wet when changing into 2nd gear in the wet with little provacation) that I got rid of them at 10000kms.
I would definitely consider getting them again at replacement time.
Will BUY again for sure – Fantastic tyre. Got double the original (26k) and am now on over 60000. Plus they were at least $200 cheaper than original ripp off. The tyre on the road is smove and very quiet with grip that feels secure. Its so quiet I can hear the noise over the side mirror (very noticeable at how quiet the tyre is compared to the original). Looking at another… Read more
10k before i need to replace them. Also they have a corner guard so when you hit that gutter there's no scratching of the wheels. They were new in 2012 but im sure glad i got them. Size i got for Grande was 245/55r19.
Update just sold my car with these Tyres and i got up to 73000km on them
Great mileage, improved fuel economy and low noise – Fitted on recommendation of Beaurepaires at 95000 km and now have done 155000 km. OEM gave me 60000 km and got 35000 out of very expensive Dunlops, these are a dream and after 60000km still have heaps of tread left, won't be needing to replace for some time yet. Fuel economy improved from an avg of 7.7 to 7.3 lt per 100 km and road noise is still low. Highly recommended! Show details · 1
Very quiet and smooth – Had four of these fitted to my Outlander (size 215 70 R16) at the beginning of December 2015. I've only done about 2,500km since then, mainly bitumen and some beach driving, and these tyres are extremely quiet and smooth. Early days yet, but very happy so far. The cherry on top was the amazing price and service I got from Kmart Auto Tyres. Show details · 1
