Bridgestone Battlax Hypersport S23 vs Goodyear EfficientGrip Performance 2: the full picture
This comparison is built only from published independent tests — no manufacturer claims and no sponsored reviews. Between them, the Bridgestone Battlax Hypersport S23 and Goodyear EfficientGrip Performance 2 appear in 23 tests, though they have not yet met head-to-head in the same test. Head-to-head results carry the most weight here, because surface, weather and test car all change between events and make raw numbers from different tests hard to compare directly.
How the Bridgestone Battlax Hypersport S23 performs. It takes the win in dry. It has limited comparative test data, so treat its results as indicative.
How the Goodyear EfficientGrip Performance 2 performs. It takes the win in wet, noise / comfort, mileage, efficiency. Its overall Tire Lab Score is 95/100, based on 22 tests.
What this means for you. Category wins matter more than the overall score when your driving is weighted toward one condition — a wet-climate commuter should follow the wet braking column, while a high-mileage driver should follow wear and rolling resistance. Also check that both tires are actually offered in your size and load rating: performance can shift between sizes, and availability differs between the European and North American markets.
