I re-shod my trusty steed on Saturday. After much deliberation, I opted for these (new)? Goodyead Efficientgrip Performance.

Initial impression is much more sure-footed than the previous Dunlop Fast Response, (admittedly well past their best). Found the receipt for them - March 2012 / @97k miles. (now on 119.5k).

Had a 4-wheel alignment done about 12 months ago, after swapping a t/r end and noticing some inner edge wear on the rears. Swapped front & rear wheels over at that point, which enabled me to wear them all out uniformly and at the same time, but I was dissapointed at their lifespan, (I'm more used to getting 30/40k as most of my miles are m-way/main road stuff). To be fair they were really good to drive on in all conditions and continued to behave well in the wet, even with next to no tread left.

You pays your money etc.

How did the old tyres fair, wear wise? nice and even?

20K miles, that's probably not too bad? oh hang on, who am I to advise on tyre wear.........

B/B/68 on those Goodyears.
F/C/70 on the Dunlops.

So the certainly ought to be better if we're to believe that anything sanctioned by the EU is in any way credible.

Oddly enough, they don't seem quieter, but maybe that's got something to do with having some tread.......

Same here, I had a set of Fast Response and the full set of 4 were done in 14k Mostly fast B road driving through.

Currently on a set of Continental WinterContact TS850's. Amazing tyre!
