Performance Analysis
Drawn from 22 tests. Updated September 2, 2025.
Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 3 delivers a broadly balanced summer performance with frequent top-tier finishes early in its lifecycle and solid efficiency. Across 21 summer tests it averages a competitive 4.5th, including multiple podiums and wins (Sport Auto 2016: 1/8; Test World 2016: 3/13 with best wet braking; Auto Bild SUV 2017: 1/10; several 2nd places). Its recurring strengths are short dry stops, stable wet handling, and class-leading or near-class-leading rolling resistance. However, against newer rivals it trends mid-pack in later tests and shows recurring weaknesses in wet braking relative to the very best, plus average-to-poor subjective comfort/noise. As a reference summer tire in the 2024 Sport Auto all-season test it dominated dry metrics but was understandably poor on snow and weak in wet braking versus all-season peers.
Patterns show: consistently strong dry braking, competitive wet handling/aquaplaning resistance, and excellent efficiency; offset by intermittent wet braking deficits and middling subjective handling/comfort. Awards and podium density support an above-average overall standing for a previous-generation UHP tire.

2017 Car and Driver UHP Tire Test
At $180 per tire, the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 3 carries a price premium that can’t be justified by its performance. Despite costing $27 more than the cheapest tire in our test, the Goodyear was the caboose in every performance metric except for wet braking. In that test, the Goodyear’s 107-foot stop landed it in third place. It also wilts under subjective scrutiny, lacking high lateral firmness, the ability to impart steering feel, and the progressive rise and fall of adhesion as you approach and exceed its ultimate grip. Geswein noted that “excursions beyond the limit kill lap times,†as grip is slow to return once the tire starts to slide. Even on our road drive, when our butts and ears were tuned to observe ride quality and road noise, we couldn’t help but notice that the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 3 was unsettled by midcorner bumps in ways the other tires weren’t. Goodyear’s tire does deliver less ride harshness than both the Hankook and Continental tires, and road noise is nicely managed, but neither of those qualities is what makes a summer performÂance tire great.
