Product Information

Full details

The Goodyear Efficient Grip Compact tyre is designed for drivers seeking excellent fuel efficiency, long-lasting performance, and reliable handling in both wet and dry conditions. Its advanced tread design offers superior wet braking and aquaplaning resistance, while contributing to lower CO2 emissions. A potential caveat is that its focus on fuel efficiency may mean a slightly firmer ride for some drivers. Key features include enhanced wet braking, reduced rolling resistance for better fuel economy, improved aquaplaning resistance, and a durable construction for extended tyre life.

FAQs

What is the main benefit of the EfficientGrip Compact tyre?

The main benefit is its superior fuel efficiency due to reduced rolling resistance, coupled with strong wet weather performance and aquaplaning resistance.

How does this tyre improve wet braking?

It features a new tread design with dual wide grooves, extra large sipes, and multiple biting edges that effectively slice through surface water, improving grip and reducing braking distances.

Is this tyre suitable for all seasons?

This tyre is designed for all-season use, offering good performance in both wet and dry conditions. However, for extreme winter conditions (heavy snow/ice), winter-specific tyres are recommended.

How long can I expect these tyres to last?

The Efficient Grip Compact is designed for outstanding durability and regular wear, leading to a longer tyre life. Specific mileage will vary based on driving habits, road conditions, and maintenance.

What does '86T' mean in the tyre size?

'86' is the load index, indicating the maximum weight the tyre can carry. 'T' is the speed rating, indicating the maximum speed the tyre can sustain.

How does this tyre compare to the Goodyear DuraGrip?

The Efficient Grip Compact is an evolution, offering improved fuel efficiency (up to 5% lighter construction reduces rolling resistance) and enhanced wet grip compared to the DuraGrip.

Can I use these tyres on any car?

These tyres are compatible with vehicles that require the specific size 185 65 R14 86T. Always verify your vehicle's requirements before purchasing.

Troubleshooting

Tyre feels unbalanced or causes vibrations

Ensure the tyre has been professionally balanced during installation. If vibrations develop later, have the wheels re-balanced.

Premature or uneven tread wear

Check tyre pressure regularly and ensure it is maintained at the recommended level. Have the vehicle's wheel alignment and suspension checked by a professional.

Reduced fuel efficiency

Verify tyre pressure is correct. Ensure no brake dragging or other mechanical issues are present on the vehicle. Check for proper wheel alignment.

Increased road noise

While designed for quiet grip, noise can increase with wear or if the tyre pressure is incorrect. Ensure correct pressure and inspect for any damage or debris lodged in the tread.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent fuel efficiency due to reduced rolling resistance.
  • Significantly improved braking performance in wet conditions.
  • Enhanced resistance to aquaplaning.
  • Longer tyre life due to even wear patterns.
  • Contributes to lower CO2 emissions, making it an environmentally friendly choice.
  • Provides secure and confident handling across various conditions.

Cons

  • May offer a firmer ride compared to tyres prioritizing comfort over efficiency.
  • Focus on fuel economy might slightly compromise ultimate grip in extreme dry conditions for performance enthusiasts.
  • Specific performance characteristics can vary based on vehicle weight and driving style.
  • As a specific size, compatibility is limited to vehicles requiring 185 65 R14 86T tyres.
  • While durable, aggressive driving may still reduce lifespan.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: This tyre is specifically sized as 185 65 R14 86T. Always ensure this size matches your vehicle's requirements as specified by the manufacturer, typically found in the owner's manual or on a sticker located on the driver's side doorjamb.

Setup: Installation should be performed by a qualified tyre professional. This includes mounting the tyre on the wheel rim, inflation to the correct pressure (refer to vehicle specifications), and balancing for optimal performance and even wear.

Care:

  1. Regular Pressure Checks: Maintain the recommended tyre pressure, checking at least once a month and before long journeys. Under or over-inflation affects performance, fuel economy, and tyre life.
  2. Visual Inspections: Periodically check for visible damage, such as cuts, bulges, or embedded objects, and inspect tread depth.
  3. Rotation: Follow your vehicle manufacturer's recommended tyre rotation schedule to ensure even wear across all tyres.
  4. Alignment: Ensure your vehicle's wheel alignment is checked periodically, especially if you notice uneven wear patterns or the vehicle pulls to one side.
