About Goodyear 285\60  R18 116V  EfficientGrip 2 SUV

The EfficientGrip 2 SUV is developed specifically for SUV and 4x4 applications. Goodyear uses Mileage Plus Technology, Wet Braking Technology and Dry Braking Technology to balance durability, braking performance and everyday road handling. Goodyear states that the model offers up to 25% higher mileage compared with the previous EfficientGrip SUV generation, based on its internal testing.

Wet-Road Performance

The 285/60 R18 116V specification has an A rating for wet grip under the EU tyre-label system. Goodyear's Wet Braking Technology uses a flexible tread compound and a high number of gripping edges to help evacuate water and maintain contact with wet road surfaces.

Wet Braking

The tyre is engineered for controlled braking on wet roads. Goodyear states that its Wet Braking Technology can provide a 4% shorter wet braking distance compared with the previous EfficientGrip SUV in its internal testing.

Dry-Road Handling

The EfficientGrip 2 SUV uses a tread design with a larger contact area and wider central ribs to support dry-road braking and directional stability. Goodyear states that its Dry Braking Technology delivered a 7% shorter dry braking distance compared with the previous EfficientGrip SUV in internal testing.

Ride Comfort and Noise

The exact 285/60 R18 116V specification has an external rolling-noise rating of 70 dB and noise class A under the EU tyre-label system. Its SUV-focused construction is intended for comfortable everyday road driving.

Rolling Resistance

The tyre has a C rating for fuel efficiency. This rating represents its certified rolling-resistance classification under the EU tyre-label system. Actual fuel consumption will also depend on vehicle weight, tyre pressure, driving style, road conditions and other factors.

Summer Road Use

The EfficientGrip 2 SUV is a summer tyre intended for road use in warm-weather conditions. It is designed primarily for SUV and 4x4 vehicles and is not a dedicated winter tyre.
