I had 2 x Goodyear Optilife 3 SUV tyres fitted a year ago after I had an unrepairable nail puncture in one of the previous Goodyear Efficient Grip Performance SUV tyres I had previously fitted to the car. I purchased the previous tyres for their wet weather grip and they were excellent. However, the new Optilife 3 SUV tyres fitted to the front of this FWD vehicle are noticeably spinning on normal, sometimes light, acceleration on fairly wet roads on initial take-off. Definitely not as good on wet weather acceleration as the Efficient Grip Perf SUV tyres, which unfortunately were not available at the time I needed to replace one. Otherwise a reasonable tyre for my purposes, which are urban and highway driving, not off-road.
