Having Assy 5 before, there were no surprises with 6. As echoed in other reviews, a very predictable, grippy and comfortable tire. Safety is paramount for me and these tires feel very safe.

Our Assy 5 covered approx 17,000m before down to 2mm so am hoping for slightly improved mileage with 6.

Assy 6 very sticky, have picked up debris and got stuck between disc and caliper creating loud screeching sound (quick fix and maybe just unlucky).

I also appreciate the value for money with Goodyear which often gets ignored in reviews. For my tire size Michelin PS5 were in region of £170 each and rarely seen on offer, Assy 6 on offer £126 each and arguably equal in performance depending on metric.

Extrem grip, low mileage (Act. 4tkm, mainly Swiss mountain roads, 2.8mm remaining on weakest spots vs. best 4mm
Vague Center Point which is more of a CenterZone (Null-/Mittellage: 11:57…12:03); feels lose & broken, most notably at low speed (40-70km/h), tried total toe in of 0/10/14‘ (arcminute); no change.
Very soft carcass (88V), flips over/to sidewall, even with 2.5bar (36psi) hot, imagine OEM 2.0 cold, 2.2 hot!
Silent&comfortable, light&agil, convidence inspiring & safe, could call boring….

Great & stiky tire for joyride with „EnlargedCenterZone“.
Poor disappointing mileage, below 5tkm, (I get 6tkm out of AD08RS in average of 10sets! Well, Bridgestone Potenza Sport did below 3tkm)

Will go back to AD08RS hope steering will get back!

I went from asy 5 to asy 6 and must say this tire is superb. Great handling, low noise and great feedback.

Compared to the previous model the asym 5. The asym 6 feels like a comfort tire. It is very soft and makes the ride feel very bouncy and not stable at speeds above 150km/h. The rear tires are half worn after 8000km of road driving (no track, once in a while spirited driving) Nontheless inr rain or wet conditions very very good, though the asym 5 is near identical. All in all the previous model is a better buy regrading feedback, tire wear and worse in the comfort department.

I found these Goodyear Asymmetric 6 tires to be significantly better in all weathers on all types of road, better grip, inspiring more confidence at moderate speeds. This includes wet weather driving. The car is so much more planted to the road, I can feel the grip in the corners and bends, traction control light rarely comes on now. These tires are exceptionally quiet also, which is a big desirable for me. I've had these tires for 1000 miles and can highly recommended them. They are also competitively priced, not disproportionately expensive

I bought two tires last year, they hold the road in wet and dry conditions, they are excellent, but the tire has a problem, the dimensions are 225 45 17 94y xl, the tire cannot be balanced, balanced twice and the third time on the hunter, and it calmed down there, but only 40 percent this year, I am buying it for another car all 4 same dimensions same everything happened as on the previous two balanced on the hunter they barely got them by the weight on the tires they shake all the time under the car

Just bought 4 new tires and I can tell these tires have way more grip then my old secondhand ones that I was driving around on. Definitely feel more secure and confident with these under the car. Would love to try the premium contact 7 against these however they were unavailable for my rear set.

I've only covered around a 1000 miles since fitting, all in perfectly dry conditions, so obviously very limited in some respects. I previously ran Michelin PS4's, which I was happy with bar two issues, first being comfort and the second and probably the more important, lack of fun, for want of a better word. Those tires had grip in spades, but just no fun on turn in. I'd read this in a few reviews and opted for an extra load spec to see if sidewall flex was the reason, all it did was predictably ruin the ride quality.
Which brings me onto this Goodyear, a standard spec side wall, what a difference. Quieter by a huge margin and so much more comfortable, not a surprise I hear you say? The surprise is how these are so much better on turn in, way more up for some fun on B roads, heavy braking is also spot on. There's a little more lateral movement from these tires at the rear, but that could be down to having 3 times the tread block height than the set that's just come off, but could also be the side wall, time will tell in that respect. At no point does the rear feel like it will slide out, but wet weather conditions might change this opinion. I'm currently more than happy with these Goodyears in the limited scenarios I've used them, I'm really looking forward to seeing how they perform in the wet. The cherry on the cake is a not insignificant saving over the Michelin as far as price goes.

Well, the tires are INCREDIBLE. Grip like hell, have a very easy to predict behaviour at the limit. But that's the usual with these tires. There are things about them that people do not talk about:

0. Very important! These tires are incredibly sticky and collect a lot of debris, especially on dry dirt roads. They will chip off some paint on the lower back bumper because of this. Get some PPF on that part and it will be fine. This is the only negative I could find.

1. Rim protection!! My god it is a saviour. I had to mount a kerb due to an oversized truck coming the opposite way and the wheel came down at an almost parallel angle. The protection did its job wonderfully.
2. There is some noticeable tire noise at around 80kph on rough roads, but on fresh tarmac they are very quiet at all speeds.
3. Speaking of rough roads, I live in Romania and they are commonplace here. Moon craters in the middle of the road as well. I can say that the tires are in great shape, there is no abnormal rubber abrasion.
4. Now I don't know where Jonathan gets his tires from, but mine have a different sidewall which looks pretty sexy. The tire pattern looks very premium as well, unlike the PS5's in my opinion.

Get this tire. It is worth every penny.

Moved from the assy 5 to the assy 6 and the 6s are better in every way apart from the lower new tread depth of 6.7mm. (225/40/18) After 6000 miles on rear tread is 5.7mm and 2000 miles on the front 5.9mm so I should get about the same mileage as I did from the assy 5s. Grip in the wet or dry is great and these tires have good kerb protection for your alloys.

I had the Michelin PS4 before, but the Goodyear Assy6 are better! I have the 225 40 18 on 8.5j rims (they are stretched, yes) but they are really great,I recommend them! Dry grip, wet grip, braking, noise,road feedback - all of these are good (compared to the PS4 some even better).

Moved to these from the Pirelli PZ4s. The Asym 6 is quieter and isolates road imperfections better. The PZ4 has a meatier sportier ride and personally I liked the quality of the sound in-car. I found the PZ4s balance to be touch further towards the front axle on the estate VRS than the completely neutral Asym 6. Both tires maintaining their same balance in the dry and damp. The roads I drive hardly ever get standing water even after heavy rain. With the PZ4s I wanted to push the car harder, be less precise and throw the car about. But, the VRS’s stability control doesn’t like that and even with the stability turned to sport it’s pretty unpredictable how it will brake the wheels. With the Asym 6 it’s more fun to be precise, clipping drains and catseyes, enjoying balancing front and rear grip, the VRS’s stability control likes that more as you can balance the Skoda on the throttle rather than off it. At “kids in the car” brisk pace the Asym 6 is more fun. On your own, pushing harder, the PZ4s give more feedback. Both lose traction predictably with the PZ4s being noisier when they do. Overall the Asym 6 is a more rounded tire. I can see why it wins all the tests. The PZ4 will never beat it in a test unless subjective (sporty) feel and wet handling is weighted very highly and even then the Asym might nudge it.…..the Asym does have a weakness that you won’t read about in tire tests. On roads with compressions, especially those caused by subsidence on one side of the road, the tires run out of control - as in damping, sidewall control. This is a pretty big deal with the roads I drive. Upping pressures helps but mainly ups the frequency of the oscillations and above 36.7psi on my gauge gets skittish in the damp.

I got two punctures at 9500 miles which means and early move to new tires. I’d just rotated the tires at 7k with the fronts at 3mm and the rears at 6mm. I know I know they needed switching sooner. It’s looking like I would have got the same 15k out of the Asyms as I did the PZ4s.
