The Goodyear EFFICIENTGRIP not only offers outstanding performance and top-quality materials, but also reduces fuel consumption and CO2 emissions. The engineers behind this model paid particular attention to the ecological and economical aspects of the model and a lighter construction and an advanced rubber compound result in fuel savings. The tyre has an asymmetric tread pattern, ensuring excellent performance on wet surfaces. The water dispersal blades and the high density of tread grooves means that driving on wet roads becomes truly enjoyable, safe and comfortable. Wet braking distances have also been reduced. The unique tread structure combined with an innovative pattern mean that the vehicle will not skid or slide even in unforeseeable situations. Driving comfort is further increased by the unique design of the tread blocks, which reduce tyre noise.
The Goodyear EFFICIENTGRIP also has a long lifetime. The special silica compound used to make the tyre has an extended lifetime and is very resistant to mechanical damage, which means that users of this model can enjoy its full range of features for longer. The Goodyear EFFICIENTGRIP is therefore the ideal option for all drivers looking for excellent performance from their tyres and who value safety on all types of road surface.
