Best Performance Tires For 2025

2nd of 7 tires

Excellent in the dry with best balance, good in the wet with excellent aquaplaning resistance, lowest noise, low rolling resistance.
A tiny bit behind in braking.
The Goodyear, as always, is a super nice tire to drive, it didn't quite match the best in braking, but in handling, comfort, noise and rolling resistance, it was there. I really like this tire, and of all the top four it's usually the cheapest. It's really fantastic.

2025 Al Volante Summer Tire Test

2nd of 7 tires

The Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6 finished a close second, showing near-sports tire performance with particularly impressive wet grip. It dominates aquaplaning tests and delivers rapid lap times in challenging conditions. While quiet and responsive, this performance-oriented tire sacrifices some efficiency with relatively high rolling resistance that may impact fuel economy. The Goodyear excelled in stability and aquaplaning resistance but wasn't quite as balanced across all performance metrics as the Pirelli.

2025 Autobild SUV Off-Road Summer Tire Test

1st of 10 tires

The Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6 is the overall test winner with excellent all-round performance. It offers dynamic handling on both wet and dry surfaces with short braking distances. This tire provides good safety reserves at aquaplaning and delivers capable performance in off-road conditions. It has an impressive balance between on-road safety and off-road traction. Not the most fuel-efficient with moderate rolling resistance, but compensates with good comfort and reasonable pass-by noise. Priced at the premium end, it represents a justified investment for SUV owners wanting no compromises.

Questions and Answers for the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6

Ask a question

August 14, 2022

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.

May 30, 2022

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.

October 31, 2022

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.

January 7, 2023

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.

April 5, 2023

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.

August 8, 2023

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.

September 26, 2023

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!

March 17, 2024

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.

June 10, 2024

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

Yes it would be.

June 10, 2024

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.

June 30, 2024

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.

May 15, 2025

Reading a few of the reviews below about terrible longevity, do you think that an investigation is necessary. There seem to be three different types of AS6 on offer ( I am looking for 235/40/19). Two seem to be EV ready one being 96Y rated (cheaper!) and one 96W rated (more expensive). I have also now seen a third one on Protire website which is the most expensive and also 96Y. The prices for reference are £175, £191 and £206.50 I phoned Goodyear UK to ask about the differences (specifically to do with tire weight and tread depth on each) and the information was "not available". Perhaps you can use your industry contacts to round up the three sets and measure weight tread depth as it may be that people fit the EV ready one and the tread depth is significantly lower resulting in lower mileage as we are using a different tire to your review.

For this you would need to check the EAN / IPCs to see if they're different. Online sellers are notoriously unreliable at listing products correctly, so there might just be a single 96Y and 96W. If there's other options they are likely OE tires. Goodyear assure me all aftermarket Asymmetric 6 models are EV ready and should be marked as such (there may be OE versions not marked)

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.

Given 57% while driving a Volvo V70 D5 AWD (245/40 R18) on a combination of roads for 5,000 easy going miles

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.

Given 92% while driving a Ford Fiesta (205/45 R17) on a combination of roads for 500 spirited miles

I had to replace the summer tires on my Fiesta ST this year. Before I had the Pilot Sport 4 from factory and was not really satisfied with them on my car. Grip was good, but comfort was not great and the car tended to hop when the wheels where spinning on high load in low gear. Also on some bad highways I had similar problems with a bit of "hopping".
So I decided to get the AS6s as replacement mostly because of the good reviews they got and also the lower cost compared to michelins. And wow what a difference! The car feels more planted now and on heavy accelleration and the "hopping" is completely gone. Also the fuel economy is a bit better now. The grip on dry B-roads feels very good and you can push really hard. The Steering feels a bit softer compared to the PS4 and the initial steering response is not as sharp but still ok for me. This could also be caused by the higher tread of the new tires compared to the worn out michelins. In wet conditon the tire also feels really good and allways safe. But I did not really test the limit there so far.
The tires also look good on my car and the rim protection is quite thick.
All in all I am pretty satisfied with the tires and you should definitly consider them if you drive a sporty lightweight car with a bit of power.

Given 89% while driving a Saab Automobile 9 5 2.0t BioPower Estate (180bhp) (225/45 R17) on a combination of roads for 10,000 spirited miles

Excellent grip when new on dry and wet on street and track. Still very good at end of life at 15000km. Changed to these from Turanza T005 and the difference in grip, handling and feedback was monumental. They were also much more comfortble and quiet untill in their 3rd summer when they became louder inside the vehicle. Would have liked to get to end of this summer but I had several track days with them already and the last leg of 2000km spirited driving on mountains took the rubber out of them. Seems like the wear accelerates towards end of life and they become more noisy. Unfortunately I also had too much pressure for 1000-2000km or so in mid life which contributed to excess wear. The set costed me 375€ so I think it was excellent value for the driving enjoyment. Would be a waste to use these on a daily commuter as they would just wear more than non UHP's.

There's a new all season tire, can it be best?!

Given 60% while driving a Volkswagen Golf GTI Performance Mk. 7.5 (225/40 R18) on mostly country roads for 1,500 spirited miles

I purchased these ~1500miles ago. I had needed to replace sport contact 7’s that had worn out after 6 months of use. I have been please with the appearance, noise and sub limit grip and price on these tires. They were ~£10 cheaper than a replacement set of continentals. As for sub limit grip they do have plenty of grip in the wet and dry.

Unfortunately when I compare them with the SC7’s I had I’ve grown to hate these tires. They have nothing left on or over the limit. And when you do go over the limit the SC7’s would generate predictable oversteer the Goodyears just plow straight on. There’s also very little feel in the tire at the limit, feels quite numb. Maybe they will have great life that will outweigh these negatives however I’d rather buy tires a bit more frequently than have an almighty crash on a Scottish country road because my car stopped turning.

Tires are on a Toyota Previa. These tires have seriously good grip. Previously had used Michelin primacy 4STs and these were better in every department except wear. One year later and it is calling out to me to be replaced.
Must say I felt safe driving my MPV in both mundane city driving and some spirited driving in the countryside in the neighbouring country. Drives through rain almost like it's a dry road. Cornering feels nice, handling is good. Responsive to braking, especially when roads are wet. V slightly noisy but hey, it's a UHP tire, it's bound to have some amount of noise. Make it last longer and I will happily buy it again.

Given 93% while driving a Subaru 2006 impreza wrx STI (235/40 R18) on mostly country roads for 5,000 average miles

I did a lot of research (thanks, Jonathan, for the great videos!) to decide which tire would be the best fit. The car is a modified Subaru Impreza WRX STI running on coilovers. The tires being replaced were Yokohama Advan Neova AD08Rs — stable and grippy, but with very stiff sidewalls that made the ride feel fidgety until they warmed up (virtually impossible in the winter), from a comfort perspective, they just weren’t ideal.

Yes, the car is meant to feel firm and sporty, but given the current state of the roads, I wanted something that still offered good grip and driving enjoyment, but with a significant improvement in comfort. Previously, the suspension couldn’t do its job properly because the tires were transmitting every bump and imperfection straight into it, compromising the ride quality and ultimately grip and handling.

These new Goodyears have hit the mark perfectly — they’ve completely transformed how the car rides and drives. While they may not feel quite as sharp as the Advans at higher speeds, I’m now getting traction and compliance without sacrificing the fun of driving.

I've even recommended them to friends with other cars, like the Octavia vRS, and the feedback has been great — good wear, improved comfort, and happy drivers.

Thanks to Tire Reviews, and thanks to Goodyear!

Given 70% while driving a Volvo C30 T5 (225/40 R18) on a combination of roads for 12,000 spirited miles

Solid tire and handles well without being uncomfortable. I don't think dry grip is quite up there with the Asy 5's but may be the car. Wet grip is better and another step forward which is where to need it. They are very predictable as to when they will let go and start to slide on damp/greasy roads. Wear rate has been horrible though. A Mix of town and country road driving and these are down to 3-4mm after about 15 months (11000 - 12000 miles). Even for a UHP tire I would be expecting 2 years/20k miles before getting this low like the previous versions. It's made me want to move away and try something new after sticking with Goodyear F1's since the Asy2's. I think within the next 1-2k I'll be replacing.

These tires are very competent in all aspects. However, the very soft sidewall makes the rear feel super squishy on my Golf R. It's the only reason I will probably not replace them again. I have had two sets on this car so far.

Buy this tires in 2024 for my custom build Alfa Romeo 159. The car is FWD, Automatic and have done few engine, gearbox and suspension modifications. What can I say...this is the best tire for hot and dry summer roads that I try till now. The grip in hot, dry road is astonishing, on wet summer days is good too. Noise is acceptable, wear is high, maybe too high, but performance always come with a price.
The only one real problem for me is the grip in temperatures under 10 Celsius. This can be feel in Spring or Autumn when temperatures varies(night and day)from 5 to 25 Celsius. Even in dry road, when temperatures are under 10 Celsius tires loses some grip.

Given 92% while driving a Toyota Celica VVTi 140 (225/45 R17) on mostly motorways for 20,600 spirited miles

3rd Summer on these tires. Truth have to be said, this tire is a bit different than what I wanted and choose this over other tires, but i'm not regretting my purchase.
The tire still provides so much grip that my car can't use it to its full potential, dry grip is limitless, or at leas feels like it, the 7th Gen Celicas known to have a little understeer, but with this tire, my springs and shocks start to jump before the grip goes away, which means that the saying is true, best mod on any car is tire, with this tire, I don't feel the need to upgrade or modify my car any further, at least in summer conditions. On wet surface, I don't know how, but feels like the road is dry and we are back at square one, straight aqua planning is excellent, even with a car thats barely over a tonne. Because of the low weight, the tire wear is minimal if there is any, and I'm attacking corners and round abouts in at every possible chance. I cant afford cars with huge powers, so tire life was never a factor, my tires go away because of age mostly.
Bad news is, that the tires are still very loud, my car has zero insulation, and even the Blizzak winter tires are quieter in summer conditions than the Eagles, but I have to ad that they are very different in size as well 205/50/16 against 225/45/17, the sidewall is super stiff for this reason. Not fair, but have to say it.
My car have very direct steering feel, and this tire gives the ultimate road feel, I literally feel the small cracks on the road, however, sometimes this results in extreme tramlining effect. and we have very bad roads over here, and if its very bad, it can literally take the steering wheel out of your hand if you are not carefull and hold it like your life depends on it, this can be exhausting on longer trips, but again, this car encourages this more than any other reason. (however Blizzaks obviously eliminates this issue, so the tire is part of it)
I will probably buy this tire again for my new GR86 project car as well, if the need arises for a new summer tire.

Given 49% while driving a Hyundai i30 (225/40 R18) on mostly country roads for 5,000 spirited miles

TL;DR: A safe yet annoying to drive tire.

Exact tire label: 225/40R18 92Y XL FP "Made In Germany"
I'll start with the positive: these tires feel very safe in almost all conditions, even in light winter conditions.
They also feel safe on wet roads, both on lightly damp roads and in deep standing water, with very good aquaplaning resistance.

The dry grip is quite enjoyable in summer conditions, they steer very light and easy, my steering wheel became lighter after mounting these tires.

Now I have to address my negative experiences with these tires:
I immediately heard more rolling noise compared to the Michelin PS4 that these tires replaced, however the bump absorption and road feel is much better compared to PS4, they feel much softer.
On rough roads these Eagles sound like there's a window open, it's more of a heavy whooshing noise instead of a high pitch rolling noise.
Even Continental WinterContact TS850 P were much more comfortable and silent to drive on this car than the Eagle Asy6.

On wet roads and even on cold dry concrete roads the cornering traction is totally lacking, the tire feels like it's locking up as soon as it looses a little grip and it takes away all your speed causing very jerky grip when trying to corner fast, you can really feel the compound of this tire is not made for progressiveness during cornering.

Overall I'm extremely disappointed, they don't excel as a Touring tire neither as a Performance tire, it's hybrid tire that only excels at safety only in my opinion.

Given 99% while driving a SEAT Leon ST TDI FR 184 (225/45 R17) on a combination of roads for 0 average miles

Finally installed fresh UHP/Max performance tires to tryout. Somewhat it was cheaper than efficientGrip Performance 2.
No wonder why Jonathan loves them - truly comfy, silent enough, darty and grippy.

I could not fully judge based on +4*C ambient temperature, but for first 10 km initially looked harsh and loud.
After 20 km the tire warmed up, became more silent and comfy, looks solid and expectations are high for true summer environment.
Oh, and that meaty rim protector looks awesome.
