In this article we will be looking at independent tire test data, and real world driver reviews of the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6 and the Michelin Pilot Sport 5 to find out which tire is best for your own driving.
The good news is that both the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6 and Michelin Pilot Sport 5 are Max Performance Summer tires designed to be fitted to Passenger Cars, which means comparing the two tires is relatively simple.
Both tires are hugely popular in the market place with drivers, and both have been featured in independent tire tests.
Independent comparison tire tests are the best source of data to get tire information from, and the good news is there have been seven tests which compare both tires directly!
Out of these seven tests:
While it might look like the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6 is better than the Michelin Pilot Sport 5 purely based on the higher number of test wins, tires are very complicated objects which means where one tire is better than the other can be more important in real world use.
Let's look at how the two tires compare across multiple tire test categories.
Looking at data from six tire tests, the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6 was better during five dry braking tests. On average the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6 stopped the vehicle in 1.45% less distance than the Michelin Pilot Sport 5.

Overall Winner: Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6
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 Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6 and Michelin Pilot Sport 5, 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.
