Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6 vs Michelin Pilot Sport 5

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.

Eagle-F1-Asymmetric-6 VS Pilot-Sport-5

Test Results

Independent comparison tire tests are the best source of data to get tire information from, and the good news is there have been six tests which compare both tires directly!

Out of these six tests:

  • Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6 finished ahead of the Michelin Pilot Sport 5 in three of the tests
  • Michelin Pilot Sport 5 finished ahead of the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6 in one of the tests
  • The Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6 and Michelin Pilot Sport 5 drew in two of the 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.

Lets look at how the two tires compare across multiple tire test categories.

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

I've bought the new Michelin Pilot Sport 5 for my Golf R as I previously had the Pilot Sport 4 tires. What a fantastic difference these new tire are. Theres far less noise, the grip in the wet is better and the dry grip is almost the same if not better as well. I would definitely be buying these again.

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 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.
