Goodyear EfficientGrip Performance
OVERVIEW
The Goodyear EfficientGrip Performance is a performance and high performance, summer tire manufactured for passenger vehicles and SUVs. It has some touring sizes as well.
The asymmetric tread pattern and the special silica-based tire compound work together to guarantee excellent summer weather traction. They increase the wet weather road gripping ability greatly, which boosts the tire's performing and braking ability in such weather as well. The wide circumferential grooves actively avoid hydroplaning situations by eliminating water from below the tire's footprint. The safer experience in dry and wet conditions ensures a safer drive. The tire, however, is not meant to be driven on in winter weather as it loses its traction in colder temperatures.
The FuelSaving technology utilizes the tire's advanced silica-based rubber compound and lowered overall tire weight to enhance the fuel efficiency. They reduce the tire's rolling resistance, which is the pressure affecting the tire that determines how much energy the vehicle needs to use to maintain the tire's motion. The decreased rolling resistance reduces the fuel consumption and CO2 emissions significantly. This also slows the tread wear rate down significantly. The slower tread wear and the evenly distributed driving pressure lengthen the tread life by preventing irregular tread wear patterns from forming. The result is an environmentally friendly and long lasting tire model.
The tread pattern increases the model's controllability and handling in all summer weather. The tread's continuous center rib maintains constant road contact which boosts the steering responsiveness and driving stability. They increase the tire's responsiveness and stabilizes it against the driving pressure affecting it. The easier controllability allows the driver to confidently control the vehicle. The tire's Active Braking technology shortens the braking distance in dry and wet weather. The technology increases and widens the tire's footprint during braking situations creating more friction at the moment of braking. This significantly shortens the braking distance and guarantees a safer drive.
The EfficientGrip Performance offers a quiet and comfortable driving experience. The tread pattern and tire compound lower and absorb the tread noise generated while the tires are in motion. The sound waves are unable to come into contact with the tread elements as they are channeled through the tire's footprint, guaranteeing an enjoyable drive.
Manufacturers recommend changing tires every 10 years. As long as tires are properly stored before they are sold, the year of their manufacture will not shorten their service life.
