Bridgestone Potenza Sport vs Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6
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.

Real World Driver Reviews
Bridgestone Potenza Sport Driver Reviews
Across 117 reviews, the Bridgestone Potenza Sport is most often described as a very high-grip UHP tire with standout dry and especially wet traction, sharp steering response, and strong braking that makes cars feel more precise and confidence-inspiring. The most consistent downside is rapid wear/short life (particularly on powerful cars, driven hard, or with track use), with many also noting higher road noise and a firm ride. A recurring theme is temperature sensitivity: performance is excellent once warmed, but several drivers report reduced confidence/traction in cold conditions, and track durability is frequently criticized due to chunking or “melting” when pushed.
Based on 124 reviews with an average rating of 80%
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.
Based on 177 reviews with an average rating of 86%
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 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.
