Bridgestone Potenza Sport vs Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6

This head-to-head pits two of the most accomplished max-performance summer tires against each other: Bridgestone Potenza Sport and Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6. Across 15 shared tests, both consistently rank near the top, but they go about performance differently. The Bridgestone leans into outright grip and precision, frequently topping braking and handling in the wet and dry. The Goodyear counters with excellent efficiency, comfort, wear, and aquaplaning stability while still delivering strong all-round pace.

Recent 2025 tests sharpen the contrast. Potenza Sport repeatedly set the standard for braking and lap time in both wet and dry, even winning large multi-tire shootouts. Meanwhile, the Asymmetric 6 claimed multiple overall wins by blending competitive grip with class-leading rolling resistance, lower noise, and standout mileage, often delivering the best long-term value.

While it might look like the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6 is better than the Bridgestone Potenza Sport 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

  • Best-in-class wet and dry braking/lap performance across many tests
  • Precise, sporty steering with high grip and confidence at the limit
  • Strong wet handling consistency and feedback
  • Improving wear in 2025 tests versus historic results
  • Lowest rolling resistance with excellent fuel/energy efficiency
  • Class-leading wear and value (cost per 1,000 km)
  • Low noise and better ride comfort
  • Very good aquaplaning resistance and balanced handling

Dry Braking

Real World Driver Reviews

Bridgestone Potenza Sport Driver Reviews

Most drivers praise the Bridgestone Potenza Sport for exceptional dry and wet grip, sharp steering response, and confident handling, often rivaling or beating Michelin PS4/PS4S. However, many report fast wear, higher noise, firmer ride, and reduced grip when cold; track use often accelerates degradation. Overall sentiment is strongly positive given the high number of top scores.

Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6 Driver Reviews

Drivers overwhelmingly praise the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6 for outstanding wet and dry grip, confident braking, and a strong comfort/noise balance, often noting improved steering feel and overall handling versus prior tires (Michelin PS4/PS5, Pirelli, Bridgestone). While most find it quiet and comfortable, a notable minority report faster-than-expected wear and occasional soft sidewall/understeer or noise on rough surfaces; overall sentiment remains strongly positive.

I have had these on the rear of my XFR for a few months now, it has the optional "R-S" size of 295/30/20. They get a hard life on a heavy >500bhp RWD car with quite relaxed electronics, and these are by far the best tires I have used on the rear of an XFR - various models of which have been my daily driver for 6.5 years now (about 90k miles covered in that time). Traction is superb in wet and dry conditions, and resistance to aquaplaning has been good as well. It is slightly concerning they come with

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

Conclusion

If you want the sharpest steering, shortest stops, and the most confidence at the limit-especially in the wet-the Bridgestone Potenza Sport is the driver's tire. It routinely wins dry and wet braking and laps, and feels precise and engaging. The trade-offs are clear: higher rolling resistance, more noise in many tests, and historically higher wear (though 2025 results show some improvement). There are also test notes about shoulder wear under hard track use and EU label pressures on its efficiency.

The Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6 is the consummate all-rounder and value leader. It wins on comfort, noise, rolling resistance, aquaplaning resistance, and wear by meaningful margins, while keeping braking and handling close enough to challenge for overall victories-often at a lower total cost per 1,000 km. For daily performance driving, mixed weather, and long-term ownership costs, the Goodyear is the safer bet. For maximum road-going pace and feel, the Bridgestone remains the more exciting choice.
Key Differences
  • Bridgestone consistently stops shorter in wet and dry; Goodyear is usually close but not best-in-test for braking
  • Goodyear dominates rolling resistance; Bridgestone is frequently last or near-last for efficiency
  • Goodyear delivers markedly longer mileage and lower cost-per-1,000 km
  • Bridgestone provides sharper steering feel and faster laps; Goodyear favors balance and composure
  • Aquaplaning resistance generally favors Goodyear (straight/curved) while Bridgestone excels in wet handling laps
  • Cabin refinement trends quieter for Goodyear; Bridgestone is often louder and firmer

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.
