Owners rate the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6 highly overall (84.8% average), most consistently praising its strong dry and wet grip, with many also noting reassuring handling. Around half of reviewers who mention it say it's noticeably quieter than what they replaced, and comfort is commonly described as a step up for a UHP tire. Longevity is the main talking point: tread life feedback is genuinely split, with a similar number reporting strong mileage as those seeing faster wear. A smaller but recurring complaint is a softer, less supported feel (and occasional extra noise on coarse surfaces) for drivers wanting a firmer, more precise response.

Very impressed with these so far; fitted to my 2015 BMW F31 touring
I bought the car with OEM 19" alloys with RFTs. They were removed ASAP and sold; I then fitted OEM 18s with RFT winter tires and they were a marked improvement over the 19s; a lot less tramlining and harsh ride etc...
I've now fitted 235/45/18 Goodyear Assym6s to the car on 18x8 OEM alloys all round and the car now rides and handles superbly. Smoother, quieter and little to no tramlining at all unless it's a really bad road. The car rides over potholes much better (I still do my best to avoid them) and on the country roads that surround where I live; it's overall like a different car!
I'll be fitting 18" non RFT winter tires to the other set of 18s once I've had them refurbed; I'd never run RFTs again
I can't comment on wear as haven't done enough & won't do enough miles to know unfortunately; but if you're after better, grippier (wet & dry) tires that offer better comfort and a smoother/quieter ride; I'd highly recommend these. More so as I got them £250 cheaper than the Michelin PS5s, which is hell of a saving for a tire that's nigh on neck n neck with the PS5s!
Got new rims so put on F1A6. Used to run 1 inch less rims and had PS4 and S001.
Overall F1A6 feels like the tire for 90% commute and 10% sport. It grips well when driving fast, but the side wall is a bit too soft in harsh turns. When in commute, it is quiet and comfortable, however, sometimes it has this weird resonance at around 110-120km under some particular pave condition (not necessarily old paves, sometimes newly paved road can cause it too), which is very annoying.
To me, the problem of this tire is it doesn’t do anything very good and is kind of mediocre for everything.
Aqua planning is not as outstanding as some other tire such as PS4. But it is good enough if you don’t live in somewhere rains everyday and have pond everywhere on the road.

Quite a bit better than the PS4’s I had previously! Great feedback and grip and only done a couple of thousand miles, but very to happy they are the best wearing tires in the Bild test.

I just got this set of tires .. because of awesome Johnny aka tire reviews… I wanted F1SS. But in my local store they don’t have so yeah . I opted for this . Who knows this was so freaking good .
Can’t score these on anything other than noise which for a premium tire should not be this bad. Cabin noise is way too loud at anything over 30 mph. These lasted less than 500 miles before needing to swap for something with acceptable noise limit.
Don’t be fooled by the “comfort” score on these. They feel as bad/loud as the runflats I had on a Mini Cooper S.
Comfortable tires with very good grip in dry and wet.
The tires are starting to undesteer more and more at 6000 km. And the wear is high, 2mm already gone. Have to change them at 15000 km.
I've been using these tires for half a year now and they feel great.
Though i must say dry grip is kinda offset by the quattro system, i still barely have any wheelspin, even in the rain, with a stage 1 tune.
Using the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6 on my gti mk6 255bhp
Pros = wet and dry grip is good off the line & plenty of grip levels,Braking is 5 star ... Comfortable quiet tire but only slightly sporty i think
Cons = driving at motorway speeds+ i feel soft sidewalls, initial turn in feels slightly numb,mid corner they feel floaty & personally i think the tire feels heavy weighted
Overall= Good Tire it offers a bit of everything,where as my previous michelin ps4 were sporty as hell but ps4 didn't brake as good & only lasted 4k miles and the comfort level wasn't as good,
goodyear feels like boots on car
michelin ps4 feel like boxing shoes on car
goodyears f1A6 Compared to michelin ps4 felt a little lazy
Goodyears very similar to continental premium contact 6 tires i think
not sure what i will try next maybe pirelli to get my own opinion on them.
i wouldn't buy michelin ps4 again for daily use because the tread didn't last long at all that's only reason here.
best of the bunch i've tried for overall use would be continental premium contact 6 so far
Incredible tires. Upgraded my 2002 MX5 from Toyo proxes to these and the difference is insane. Slides are perfectly controlled, feedback and grip is excellent, road noise is low, comfort is good. After having used Michelin PS4 for quite a few years on other cars I am happy to say these tires absolutely blow them out of the water.
I have a 2017 Twin Turbo Passat 4motion that had 4 Pirelli P7 Cinaturo’s on. I have put 10k miles in 7 months on them and worn them to 4mm. Brilliant as a dynamic tire in rural England but as the review said, had a few moments in very very heavy rain on the motorway and they aren’t very comfortable, although I’d say they are quite quiet. I’ve now swapped them to the rear and put Primacy 4+ on the front which has made a the ride much better (I now have a baby and a dog) but the Michelins definitely don’t grip as well. You can’t win them all.
My previous runflats (have had Pirelli and Bridgestone) were getting to the end of their life so I thought this would be an ideal opportunity to switch to normal tires. After reading endless reviews I selected the Goodyears and boy did I make the correct decision. The tires have transformed the car in virtually ever department. They grip like crazy in both dry and wet conditions and the reduction in road noise is massive. They are also much more comfortable and make the 5 series an awesome long distance tourer. Can't give an accurate opinion on wear yet but couldn't be any worse than other comparable models such as the Continentals or Michelins I was also considering. I think so highly of them I will in all likelihood buy the same again for my wifes 4 series when they need changing and also my SLK when I do a wheel upgrade. Strongly recommended.
Total night and day in the wet compared to asymmetrical 5s, couldn't believe how good the grip is. Will buy again, haven't had a tire handle as good. Only downside is they wear a bit quicker than asymmetrical 5s.
