Giti GitiSportS2 vs Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6
Across dry and wet grip metrics, the Goodyear repeatedly stops shorter and laps quicker, often by meaningful margins (e.g., wet braking advantages frequently 8-20%). Yet the Giti consistently resists aquaplaning better in both straight and curved tests, and can edge fuel use/rolling resistance in certain sizes. Total cost of ownership also diverges sharply due to wear: Goodyear's mileage is often 50-100% higher, reversing any upfront price advantage.
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 nine tests which compare both tires directly!

| Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6 | nine |
While it might look like the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6 is better than the Giti GitiSportS2 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.
Key Strengths
- Outstanding straight and curved aquaplaning resistance
- Often competitive fuel economy/low rolling resistance for the class
- Quiet running in some tests
- Lower purchase price in many sizes
- Consistently shorter dry and wet braking
- Stable, responsive handling with strong wet grip
- Excellent wear life and low cost per 1,000 km
- Low noise and generally lower rolling resistance for a performance tire

Real World Driver Reviews
Giti GitiSportS2 Driver Reviews
Most drivers rate the Giti GitiSportS2 highly for its quiet ride, comfort, strong dry and confident wet grip, and excellent value, often comparing it favorably to premium brands. A minority report issues at higher speeds or over time, including increased noise and instability, but these are outweighed by the many high-scoring reviews. Overall, the GitiSportS2 delivers premium-like performance at a budget price.
Based on 19 reviews with an average rating of 78%
Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6 Driver Reviews
Drivers rate the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6 very highly overall, most often praising its strong dry and especially wet grip, short braking distances, and predictable/progressive behavior near the limit. Many also report a comfortable, refined ride for a UHP tire with good value versus Michelin/Continental rivals. The main recurring downsides are faster-than-expected tread wear for some users and noticeable roar/rumble on rough asphalt, with a smaller but repeated theme of softer sidewalls or slightly numb turn-in/understeer compared with sharper alternatives.

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
Giti's value lies in deep-water confidence and occasional efficiency wins: if you regularly face heavy rain standing water, its aquaplaning reserves are excellent for the money. However, its longer braking distances and lower wet grip, plus notably shorter tread life, limit its appeal for enthusiastic or high-mileage drivers. For most buyers seeking balanced performance, safety in mixed weather, and best long-term value, the Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6 is the clear choice.
Key Differences
- Braking: Goodyear stops shorter in every dry and wet test (often 8-20% better in the wet).
- Handling: Goodyear is quicker and more precise on dry and wet circuits; Giti feels less precise, especially in the wet.
- Aquaplaning: Giti reliably leads both straight-line and curved aquaplaning tests.
- Wear and value: Goodyear's mileage is typically 50-100% higher, halving cost/1,000 km versus Giti despite a higher purchase price.
- Noise/comfort: Goodyear is usually quieter and more refined, though both can be comfortable.
- Efficiency: Mixed-Giti occasionally wins fuel use/rolling resistance, but Goodyear often matches or is close while delivering far higher grip.

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.
