The ElectricDrive2 is Goodyear's Grand Touring All-Season tire developed for drivers of modern hybrid and electric vehicles looking for tires that meet their vehicle's specific needs with a commitment to environmental considerations. The ElectricDrive2 is built with a minimum of 50% sustainable materials by weight and is engineered to balance sound comfort and tread life to maintain the low noise levels achieved by the vehicles' quiet electric motors. All for a tire designed to deliver satisfying year-round traction in dry, wet, and light snow conditions.

ElectricDrive 2 callouts

Goodyear's ElectricDrive2 takes an all-season tread compound and molds it into a redesigned asymmetric tread design built to provide longer mileage, consistent grip, and stability while improving wet handling and response over its predecessor. The ElectricDrive2 features SoundComfort Technology, a layer of sound-absorbing foam along the tire's inner liner to reduce cavity and airborne sounds to minimize interior vehicle noise. Wide circumferential grooves and large, lateral notches help evacuate water from the contact patch for increased hydroplaning resistance and enhanced wet performance. Additional siping built into the inboard tread blocks and shoulder increase the biting edges necessary for grip in wet, snowy, or icy conditions.

The internal construction of the ElectricDrive2 consists of twin steel belts atop a two-ply polyester casing. The polyamide reinforcement ply further stabilizes the tread to provide high-speed handling and durability.

...I have now driven it in wet conditions and found it to be an excellent rain tire. Very predictable. Good steering feel...

The last time I reviewed this tire was soon after I purchased it. I was interested to see if noise was an issue since several reviewers said it was. It was not for my Kia Niro EV. This tire was designed to reduce noise. I have now driven it in wet conditions and found it to be an excellent rain tire. Very predictable. Good steering feel. But, as noted, we use this vehicle mostly to run errands around town and only seldom take it on long trips. And the longer trips we have taken, have all been on dry pavement.

Only had them on a couple thousand miles but so far they've been great in the heavy downpours we get in SETX and they're quiet as can be. If they don't change drastically I'd definitely buy them again.

...The handling during transitions or taking off ramps at speed is really good. They definitely step up handling and balance of the vehicle in the dry vs the OE tires...

My focus for my Venza was to find a well rounded and balanced tire. Something that does well in anything with a focus on comfort and low noise. I was also looking for something that would have improved handling characteristics over the OE tires. I''m typically not a fan of Goodyear''s but after some research (including the TR video review) I landed on the ElectricDrive2. I don''t have many miles, not to much time in the wet and nothing in the winter. Anyway these are my initial thoughts. I feel the ElectricDrive2 are a really well balanced tire. They are comfortable and quiet on the road. On the highway and city they soak up bumps well while still maintaining composure. The handling during transitions or taking off ramps at speed is really good. They definitely step up handling and balance of the vehicle in the dry vs the OE tires. The few stints I had them in rain they did well. They also have rim edge guards to protect your rims. Which is nice. I feel these tires (so far) accomplish what I was looking to get out of them for my Hybrid.

...Significantly better dry and especially wet traction compared to OEM...

This tire has been a significant upgrade compared to the OEM Michelin Energy Savers that came on my Chevy Bolt from the factory. Significantly better dry and especially wet traction compared to OEM, with the only drawback being a bit less efficiency (although still very good). The biggest issue I had was initially one of the four tires I got had its inner foam lining separate and cause serious vibrations (within the first ~100 miles). It took the Goodyear store 3x additional visits to properly diagnose the problem and source a replacement tire. After that, I've had nothing but great experiences with this tire and likely will buy another set when the time comes.

...(1) this is the quietest, most comfortable EV tire I have ever used (and I've used several Tesla OEM tires from Continental and others)...

Being a new tire, there was a dearth of information and reviews for this tire. Most of what I could find, however, was mixed-to-negative, largely based on speculation, not real-world testing. I took a chance when I ordered these tires, relying on my engineering background and knowledge of the R&D behind this design. I'm just 1000 miles in, but my initial reactions are: (1) this is the quietest, most comfortable EV tire I have ever used (and I've used several Tesla OEM tires from Continental and others), and (2) its definitely not as grippy as a Primacy, but the difference is truly only meaningful in emergency situations, or roads frequently experiencing wet/slippery conditions.

I'll continue updating as I pile up the miles. So far, highly recommmended!

...The ride is comfortable, and the steering is as good...

These tires are so much quieter than the Michelle Cross Climate 2. I only had them for two weeks, so I don't know how well they will hold up. I haven't noticed any different in miles per kilowatt hours. I am getting about 4.1 miles per kilowatt hour. The ride is comfortable, and the steering is as good. So far so good. I will update after winter.

...This is my second set of ElectricDrive2 on 2 different Prius V's (that's the longer model, 5-door wagon, and it's taller than other P's) and the tread wear is impressive. Wifes rolled on our first pair for 15 months--I don't drive it much so didn't get a chance to check wet conditions. Have to repeat that these tires are wearing nicely...

They are quiet compared to other tires used on my Prius. Prius is a loud car with any tire I've tried. This is my second set of ElectricDrive2 on 2 different Prius V's (that's the longer model, 5-door wagon, and it's taller than other P's) and the tread wear is impressive. Wifes rolled on our first pair for 15 months--I don't drive it much so didn't get a chance to check wet conditions. Drove on some dirt roads last winter, snow covered but not wet, too cold, so it was packed snow. I liked the performance there, no complaints, no noticeable under-performance. Hydraulic drive train gives P a feel that is more stable than my All-wheel and 2-wheel drive rigs. Have to repeat that these tires are wearing nicely. Got an alignment with latest pair, put the new set on the rear.
