Performance Analysis

Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6 - Official Image

Across 30 summer tire tests, the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6 shows consistently elite all-round performance (2.9 average overall position) with frequent podium finishes and multiple top awards (1x test winner, 2x highly recommended). Its defining pattern is a strong “driver's tire” balance: repeatedly class-leading dry/wet handling and confidence with very competitive braking, backed up by standout wear and cost-per-km results in tests that include longevity.

The main recurring compromises are efficiency and some inconsistency in aquaplaning-especially straight-line aquaplaning-where it can range from near-best to bottom of the table depending on test and size. Rolling resistance/energy consumption is commonly mid-pack to lower-tier versus best-in-test, which can matter for EV range-focused buyers.
