Goodyear EfficientGrip Performance 2 vs Nokian WetProof: the full picture
This comparison is built only from published independent tests — no manufacturer claims and no sponsored reviews. Between them, the Goodyear EfficientGrip Performance 2 and Nokian WetProof appear in 34 tests, 8 of which put both tires on the same track on the same day. 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 Goodyear EfficientGrip Performance 2 performs. It takes the win in noise / comfort, mileage. Its overall Tire Lab Score is 95/100, based on 22 tests.
How the Nokian WetProof performs. It takes the win in wet, dry, efficiency. Its overall Tire Lab Score is 83/100, based on 12 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.
Verdict
The Goodyear EfficientGrip Performance 2 is the stronger all-round choice, leading in noise / comfort and Tire Lab Score. The Nokian WetProof still wins on wet, making it the right pick if that matters most to you.
