Bridgestone Potenza Sport Evo vs Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6
The headline is that both are genuinely fast tires with premium-level safety margins, but the deciding factors are usually not peak grip-they're the way each tire behaves at the limit (stability vs. sharpness), and the ownership costs (rolling resistance, noise, wear, and value scores). Those trade-offs become very clear when you line up the wet-handling pattern versus Goodyear's efficiency and mileage 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 four tests which compare both tires directly!
| Tire | Test Wins | Performance |
|---|---|---|
| Bridgestone Potenza Sport Evo | two | |
| Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6 | two |
The Bridgestone Potenza Sport Evo and Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6 have an equal number of test wins. However, 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
- Stronger wet handling across the shared data (wins 3/3), with test feedback highlighting safe, controllable dynamics and broad grip reserves
- More dynamic/precise handling character in qualitative reports (direct steering, agile behavior), including standout performance in the SUV/gravel context
- Competitive braking performance overall, including multiple wet-braking wins (e.g., 52.3 m vs 53.4 m in the SUV test; 33.1 m vs 33.3 m in Sport Auto)
- Solid aquaplaning and wet-circle capability in several comparisons (e.g., SUV straight aquaplaning 87.2 vs 84.8 km/h; wet circle 19.9 s vs 20.4 s)
- Lower noise and better comfort trend (wins noise in all shared tests; Sport Auto subjective comfort 10 vs 7 points)
- Lower rolling resistance/greater efficiency in every shared test where measured (e.g., 7.24 vs 8.57 kg/t in the SUV test)
- Exceptional projected longevity and ownership value in Autobild (63,830 km vs 51,860 km; value 12.22 vs 16.39 price/1000)
- Very strong all-round grip with a neutral, sporty balance noted in test comments, plus frequent top-tier braking/handling proximity to the leaders

This means in real world driving, people prefer the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6.
They absorb potholes and speed bumps wonderfully. Paid £129.99 a corner from Asda tires, they were nearly £30 a corner cheaper than Michelin which my 19inch wheels are PS4S. I prefer the Bridgestones.
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
The Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6, however, builds a stronger case as the best everyday high-performance choice. It is consistently quieter (e.g., 67.0 vs 72.4 dB in the SUV test; 70.8 vs 73.8 dB in Autobild) and consistently more efficient (rolling resistance wins in all three tests where measured, including 7.24 vs 8.57 kg/t in the SUV test). Most importantly for ownership cost, Autobild projects a huge wear advantage for Goodyear (63,830 km vs 51,860 km) and a markedly better value metric (12.22 vs 16.39 price/1000). Net: Bridgestone is the sharper tool; Goodyear is the smarter long-term buy.
Practical takeaway: if you'll actually use the tire's limit (wet backroads, fast road, occasional track-style driving), the Bridgestone's handling dominance is hard to ignore-just expect more noise and higher running costs. If you want near-top-tier performance with noticeably better refinement and cost efficiency, the Goodyear is the more balanced recommendation.
Key Differences
- Wet handling is the clearest performance separator: Bridgestone wins all wet-handling matchups (e.g., SUV 88.9 vs 87.8 km/h; Sport Auto 56.3 vs 56.0 km/h), aligning with its more confidence-inspiring limit behavior in the reports
- Aquaplaning outcome depends on the test: Bridgestone leads in the SUV test (87.2 vs 84.8 km/h straight aquaplaning), but Goodyear is clearly stronger in Autobild (94.7 vs 91.1 km/h straight; 3.97 vs 3.54 m/s² curved)
- Refinement consistently favors Goodyear: noise is materially lower in every shared test (largest gap in the SUV test: 67.0 vs 72.4 dB)
- Efficiency consistently favors Goodyear: rolling resistance is lower in all measured comparisons (largest gap in the SUV test: 7.24 vs 8.57 kg/t), implying better fuel/EV consumption potential
- Cost-per-km and durability favor Goodyear strongly where measured: Autobild wear 63,830 km vs 51,860 km and better value score (12.22 vs 16.39 price/1000)
- Overall test placements vary by test intent: Bridgestone wins the Sport Auto performance-focused test (1st vs 2nd), while Goodyear dominates the broader Autobild ranking (2nd vs 11th) thanks to wear/value/efficiency weighting

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.
