Falken Azenis FK520 vs Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6

This head-to-head pits Falken's value-driven Azenis FK520 against Goodyear's benchmark Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6 across 10 shared tests from 2022-2025, spanning hot-hatch to SUV fitments. Both are max-performance summer tires, but they take different paths: Falken chases strong grip and price efficiency, while Goodyear focuses on complete, balanced performance with class-leading wet security and longevity.
Across the dataset, Goodyear is the clear front-runner with 10/10 overall test wins, repeatedly topping wet handling/braking, aquaplaning safety, and wear. Falken lands consistent mid-table results with standout moments-very short dry and wet stopping in select sizes, excellent straight aquaplaning in some tests, and notably lower purchase price-creating a compelling value story.

Real World Driver Reviews

Falken Azenis FK520 Driver Reviews

Most drivers find the Falken Azenis FK520 delivers excellent dry and strong wet grip with progressive, predictable handling and very good value, often rivaling premium brands. Comfort and noise are generally good to very good, with several noting improved braking and stability and acceptable to good wear. A minority report drawbacks such as softer/less precise handling feel, vibrations or wobble at certain speeds/pressures, and performance drop-off under extended hard driving.

Based on 35 reviews with an average rating of 84%

Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6 Driver Reviews

Drivers overwhelmingly praise the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6 for outstanding wet and dry grip, confident braking, and a strong comfort/noise balance, often noting improved steering feel and overall handling versus prior tires (Michelin PS4/PS5, Pirelli, Bridgestone). While most find it quiet and comfortable, a notable minority report faster-than-expected wear and occasional soft sidewall/understeer or noise on rough surfaces; overall sentiment remains strongly positive.

Best Review for the Falken Azenis FK520

/45 R17 on a combination of roads for 100 average miles

I was very surprised by the comfort of the new tires. My previous tires were the fk510 and they were hard as hell, felt every crack in the road. The handling in dry and wet conditions are very good, and the cars feels sporty and good in rhe tight curves. Hope they will last as long as fk510 (around 35k km)

Best Review for the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6

Given 100% 225/40 R18 on a combination of roads for 1,000 spirited miles

I am a massive Goodyear fan. I had the Assym 3's on a previous car and never looked back.

I have now had the Eagle F1 Asymmetric 5's, Goodyear Eagle F1 Supersports, Michelin PS4 and even some Avon's (for a brief period) on my current car - a Golf GTI Clubsport 40.

I mix up my driving a lot - lots of motorway driving but also lots of hard street driving and B road blasts, I find it massively important to have the best tires possible to allow me to push my car as hard as I can in a safe manner.

I was massively impressed with the Asymmetric 5's, the sheer grip... Continue reading this review using the link below

Conclusion

If you prioritize all-condition confidence, predictable dynamics, and long-term value, the Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6 is the safer bet. It wins most objective categories that matter day-to-day-especially wet braking/handling (often by meaningful margins of 4-10%), curved aquaplaning, and rolling resistance-while also delivering lower noise and the best-in-class wear seen in multiple tests.
The Azenis FK520 is the better pick for budget-conscious buyers seeking strong grip without premium pricing. It occasionally stops shorter in the dry and even in the wet in some sizes, shows good straight-line aquaplaning resistance, and keeps noise and comfort respectable. However, it can feel less precise, understeer sooner in the wet, and trails on curved aquaplaning and efficiency, which limits its appeal for enthusiastic or wet-weather-heavy driving.
Bottom line: Goodyear is the complete package for drivers who want no compromises and long life; Falken offers solid, safe performance at a friendlier upfront cost, best suited to everyday use in predominantly dry conditions.

Key Differences

Overall results: Goodyear wins 10/10 tests; Falken 0
Wet performance: Goodyear frequently leads wet braking by 4-10% and wet handling by 3-6%
Aquaplaning: Goodyear notably stronger in curved aquaplaning; Falken sometimes leads straight aquaplaning
Longevity: Goodyear wear advantage (e.g., +25-41% mileage in multiple tests)
Efficiency/noise: Goodyear usually lower rolling resistance and slightly quieter
Price/value split: Falken cheaper upfront; Goodyear higher purchase price but better long-term value

Footnote

This page has been developed using tire industry testing best practices. This means we are only comparing tests which have had both tires in the same test.

Why is this important? Tire testing is heavily affected by things like surface grip levels and surface temperature, which means you can only compare values from the same day. During a tire test external condition changes are calculated into the overall results, but it is not possible to calculate this between tire tests performed on different days or at different locations.

As a result you will see other tests on Tire Reviews which feature both the %s and %s, but as they weren't conducted on the same day, the results are not comparable.

Lots of other websites do this sort of tire comparison, Tire Reviews doesn't.
