Questions and Answers for the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6

2022-08-14 - Has anyone compared these to the supersports? Currently running f1 supersports all round on a vauxhall astra mk5 vxr, 280bhp front wheel drive, tempted to give these a try as the car is only a daily with occasional spirited back road driving, one thing that made me go for the supersports was the firm sidewall as I previously ran rainsport 3s and the handling was terrible due to the soft sidewalls so not wanting to loose the sidewall feeling of the supersports

We've not directly compared the Asym 6 to the F1 SuperSport but he educated guess is that while the asymmetric 6 will feel miles better than the RainSport 3 - a tire notoriously soft on the sidewall, the F1 SuperSport should still have the edge in dry handling. These will be better in the wet, more comfortable etc.

2022-05-30 - Does this tire work on an M135 xdrive (2013) with serial wheels (summer)?

If you can find the size needed then the Asymmetric 6 will be a good match for your M135.

2022-10-31 - Does the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymetric 6 tire have a rim protector?

Rim protection can vary on tire size, but the sizes of the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6 we've worked with have had a small rim protector.

2023-01-07 - Has anyone else noticed a worsening of fuel economy with the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6. I had 4 fitted (Audi Q3) and its coincided with a significant fuel economy reduction (approx. 15%)?

What tire did you replace? A worn tire has around 15% better rolling resistance due to lower tread depth, so if you replaced something similar, that might explain the drop.

2023-04-05 - Any idea on how thesel hold up with light track work? Heading to the Nurburgring in June and wanted to fit a set of F1 Supersports, however they have been out of stock in 245/35/18 since October, so looking for an alternative for my 2013 M135i

The Asym 6 does not take heat as well as the SuperSport, but it's still reasonable good for its category. If your driving style is VERY aggressive on track they might not be the correct tire for you, however the 'Ring has quite a low grip surface and long straights there's a good chance they'll be ok.

2023-08-08 - What would be best for a Audi a4 225 50 17 for comfort and noise the Asym 6 or the efficientgrip performance 2?

The EfficientGrip Performance 2 is more oriented towards comfort and noise.

2023-09-26 - Im due to change my RFT`s on my 2009 330i M Sport Coupe Auto. Is this a good idea? My choice would be to change to Goodyear Asym 5 or 6. Or PS4s. Which do you consider would suit the car better. Im running on 19" rims with 225/35`s front and 255/30`s rear. I had Asym 5`s on my 330i Ci which were brilliant. Dont do any spirited driving any more. Too old for that now (70). Safety and comfort is more desirable, specially when I have "miss Daisy" with me !!!

The largest percentage of people I see moving away from runflat tires on BMWs move to the Asymmetric range and really enjoy the switch, so it seems this would be a good choice for you!

2024-03-17 - Can’t find manufacturer specifications so I hope you can help. Do 235/45/18 Goodyears fit on a 7 inch rim?

Yes they would fit however they would be slightly pinched as that is outside of specification for that size, a 235/45 R18 should be fitted to a 7.5-9 inch wide wheel with an 8 being the sweet spot.

2024-06-10 - Would the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6 be a good choice for MX5 MK3.75 2LTR Sportek.

Yes it would be.

2024-06-10 - Which would be best on a mx5 3.75 2lt sportex michelin ps5 or goodyear eagle f1 asymmetric 6

We would pick the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6 for an MX5.

2024-06-30 - I consider buying a set of Asymmetric 6 or Michelin PS4s for a Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio. Which one do you think is better considering I live in a climate where there are 10 °C in morning/during night and 30-40 °C during the day and it is raining once few weeks, but when it does, it raines very hard. I am not going to track but I have a more sporty driving style. I plan on using them for autumn as well, when it is raining more often and there are even 5 °C in the morning and 25-30 during day. What do you think?

Of the two I would probably opt for the Goodyear as it's slightly more direct, however both tires will likely feel less dynamic than the OE Pirelli. They will offer much more grip in cold / wet conditions though.

Top 3 Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6 Reviews

Given 100% while driving a Volkswagen Golf GTI Mk7 Clubsport 40 Edition (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 and feedback were fantastic, along with being very safe in the wet. When my front tires reached the end of their serviceable life after 11,000 miles, I was more than ready to get the newer Asymmetric 6's fitted on the front of my car.

I'm simply over the moon with them already. Having covered about 1,000 miles on them in very mixed driving conditions, they have blown me away. They offer *everything* I could ever want from a tire. They are extremely grippy in the dry and wet, the feedback is great, the ride is very comfortable and the price is very reasonable for a top tier tire. I drove home in heavy rain last night and I drove the car hard to see how the tires would handle hard driving in the wet and they did not miss a beat. I was amazed how they put the power down on wet roads and the grip offered in corners. It actually felt like I was driving on a dry road. Incredible.

I had the Michelin PS4's a few years ago and I did not like them at all, they were too soft and struggled to keep up with my hard driving. I trialled the Eagle F1 Supersports when they first came out - they sound like the obvious choice for a sports hatchback - I found them excellent when warmed up on dry roads but they were nowhere near as confidence-inspiring in the rain and actually quite scary on wet roads. That's why I got the Assym 5's fitted after them and was very happy with my choice. And now I have the 6's I am even happier. These tires are simply fantastic - stupid amounts of grip. I recommend them to everyone. The UK has such mixed weather that I think these just offer the best all round driving experience. They really, really suit the characteristics of the Mk7 Golf GTI. I got them when on offer - £183 for 2 fitted. An absolute steal. Get these tires, you will not be disappointed. I will certainly be getting them again next time round.

I would NOT recommend the Asymmetric 6 if you're looking for a tire that will last for more than 1 year!

I bought 4 brand new A6 tires early this year replacing my old Michelin Primacy 3. Before buying them, I read up on multiple tests and reviews, and the A6 finished on top in most of them. Sure, the A6 has excellent handling, wet- and dry grip, so nothing to complain about there.
My issue is that the tires have terrible longevity.
I don't know what tread depth the tires have from the factory but I would assume they have at least 6 mm. Now, I drive very gently. No excessive accelerations, no heavy braking and I don't haul any heavy loads. I simply use the car to go to work every day back and forth. So when evaluating the wear after 8 months and about 8000 kilometers, the tread is down to 3 mm. This kind of wear was nothing that I expected from a renowned manufacturer such as Goodyear. Sure, some would argue that the A6 are categorized as sport tires with a softer rubber blend. But they are not pure sport tires. They are marketed as performance tires for premium cars, even compatible with EV's. (If you own a Tesla, you would probably need 4 new sets a year with the A6).

So if you're looking for tires that will last, together with equal or maybe even better performance metrics, then buy something else! I surly will go back to Michelin.

Amazing tire, I replaced a Pirelli P7 run flats with these and although it is an unfair to compare them as they are totally different from one another, the difference is night and day. The comfort is now at a different level, the noise levels are significantly lower, the dry and wet grip are amazing too. It was between them and and the Michelin ps5 , but I’ve had the previous model asymmetric 5 and I really liked them, not to mention the price difference. Initial feel is good and I like them a lot , happy with the purchase . More to follow.

BMW 530D (235/45 R18) on mostly motorways for 1,000 easy going miles
Decided to buy these tires as they are good quality and some people said that they are comfortable, however maybe they drive them only on perfect roads. Here in the Balkans the roads are terrible, and to my sorrow, these tires are extremely hard, you feel every tiny bump on the road. They are made for fast driving on good roads or tracks (as the UHP name suggests).

Given 92% while driving a BMW 325i (225/45 R17) on a combination of roads for 500 average miles
Only done a few hundred miles on these (can’t comment on wear) but so far really impressed. Mix of average and smooth/spirited driving.

Ideal mix of firmness/compliance. For a family car anyway. They replaced runflats and I was worried they might be over-squishy, but they just aren’t. They’ve transformed the car and it feels both smoother and more sure-footed at the same time, with more predictable behaviour under load.

Not too noisy, and seem decent for rolling resistance.

Plenty of grip in the dry, but the wet traction and stability really is remarkable – including in some pretty deep standing water. Probably the best tires I’ve experienced for wet grip if not on the same car. You don’t have to be throwing it around to tell the grip is just ‘there’, which gives a lot of confidence – including braking. A world of difference to a couple of hire cars I’ve had lately with (branded) eco tires that just felt horribly aloof and skittish in the wet.

For ref I’ve got the 91 load (as recommended) -not 94/XL.

I made a mistake regarding these tires. I used to think they are overhyped because i could not see its qualities. It is quiet, comfortable - surprisingly for this kind of tire. Braking performance outstanding, confidence inspiring, wet and dry. Handling - I used to think it is not good but that was before i drove like it was supposed to. In the right conditions, meaning - summer time, when the asphalt is hot, it handles and grips like nothing else (my tire experience is limited but i've tried a few different compounds), very predictable and safe, sporty to the right amount. It also heats up not too quick not to slow, and it doesn't overheat. Grip is perfect dry and wet. Wear was at first not good or i thought it was, but with proper tire rotation you could get at least 50 000km from a set. The selling point of this is comfort and it is a great selling point, it absorbs the deep bumps great, the little imperfections though - could be better.
Less expensive than the pilot sports and a better tire - buy it.

Not a good looking tire, but is very grippy in the dry and good enough in the wet. It is also very quiet and comfortable. It isn't a massive step over the Kuhmo Ecsta PS71's that I had previously, but these are a good tire. Also has some rim protection. But please Goodyear, male a better sidewall!!!

Soo, i have the tire for 2000km and so far i am very impresed with grip in wet and dry, before it warms up is bad but after the rubber becomes sticky and unstopable (i always smell burning rubber when i park my car), but the tires have a problem, outer sides are almost gone after 2000km and i eat tham down to the name of the tire, sidewalls are to soft (this are not XL) you can see it on the picture after the first day of use the tire had used marks just above the writing "EAGLE F1" and dont tell me i dont put enaugh pressure in becaus i put more than recomended, and the feedback and dynamic feel compared to Yokohoma Advant Fleva v701 is nonexistant until the tires are pushed well than in that area thay provide good feedback and overall operation, comfort is way better tham Yokohamas, also corner grip is way ahead Of Yokohama tires i used before, one more BIG p
PROBLEM in temperatures between 0-25°c thay work good, but after outside temps reach 30-35°c+ the tire become like a chewing gum and its terible, i enjoy tham alot more on the wet than dry

Dry and wet grip are excellent. The handling is awesome as well. It’s less comfortable than my earlier set of tires (a set of 16” Yokohama Advan a460’s, which absorbed surface imperfections better), but now I know what sporty tires really feel. It ran about 20k kms going into their third season now. I now wish my car had a few dozen more horsepower. The fuel consumption went down by around 10% despite this is a wider set than the Yokohama’s. I would recommend the Asymmetric 6’s but for stronger/sportier cars mainly to harness their full potential.

Very good tire, I'm very pleased with them. Exactly what I expected, very good mix between performance/price/comfort.
Are very quiet, after 80 km/h I hear only some noise from the wind. Road feedback is very good, are very good for 18" wheels, I know very well what's happening with stearing of the car on cornering even at higher speed, good sidewall enforcement as well.
I looked for competition but were much more expensive and didn't have the same properties especially for noise level.
I used tires from competition, premium brands but I came many times back to GoodYear because they have the good mix for me.
Definitely I will buy them again. Very good job Goodyear.

Extremely happy with these tires. Fronts are 225/40/18 rears are 255/35/18. 330d xDrive.
I bought and fitted them a bit earlier than I usually do (mid March). As luck had it we had a few rainy and very cold days with damp and almost 0C temperatures in the mornings, when going to work. Whilst they of course required careful driving I was surprised by the amount of grip and confidence I had in those conditions.
Now that temperatures are higher and it's mostly dry I can say I am even more impressed. Grip is outstanding, they are noticeably quieter than my previous tires (Hankook evo 3s) and the ride is quite comfortable. I can't comment on wear as I've done about 1200 miles so far.
