Goodyear Efficientgrip Performance 2

Had these fitted 3 months ago, great tyre but had 3 punctures from screws/nails since. Am I unlucky or is this a side effect of the rubber compound Goodyear use? Previously had Mitchellin tyres and never had punctures.

    I think it's a bit of both. I had these fitted on a previous car and was surprised how light and flexible they were compared to the ones the took off. But in practice they were robust and did the job well (until I had an accident)

    You'll pay more for Michelins but all round, probably a better tyre

    That's my preferred tyre. Never had any problems with them.
