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

Given 74% 235/35 R19 on mostly country roads for 13,000 spirited miles
Brilliant tire performance on Schnitzer wheels / suspension. Tire wear = as expected.
PROBLEM = never had so many punctures / need to reset tire pressures using this tire brand - over 7000 miles in 2 years.
I have driven sport cars for 40 years - tires mostly Pirelli, Michelin or (in earlier years) Goodyear , until this Hankook tire.
QU: please can I ask why you did not consider Hankook in your 2025 best performance tire test ?
Schnitzer recommend Falcon for its Mini JCW F56 wheel - but I think I am going to go with Pirelli, having read your 2025 reviewContinue reading this review using the link below

Conclusion

In conclusion the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6 performed better in dry braking, dry handling [s], wet circle, noise, wear and value, while the Hankook Ventus Evo performed better in wet braking, wet handling [s], wet handling [km/h], straight aqua, curved aquaplaning, subj. comfort, subj. noise and rolling resistance.

Interestingly, both tires performed equally well in dry handling and wet handling, showing that they are closely matched in these areas.

Which tire is best for you depends a lot on your driving style and situation, plus what you want from the tire. Comparing all the data in the tire reviews database, on balance Hankook Ventus Evo seems to be the best tire overall.

However, it's important to note that both tires have their strengths.

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.
