“I had the conti PC6 on my old F56 JCW running 300bhp/324lb-ft. 17" 215/45 Found them great In the wet, although the sidewalls were rather soggy compared to the previous Michelin Supersport, which admittedly are more of a UHP tyre”

“2024 J1.1 GTS Sport Turismo on 21" Spyder RS wheels here. Went from Pirelli PZero's to NF1 Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 5's recently. They don't seem any louder than the PZero's, dry grip seems about the same, as does comfort. Wet grip and performance in cold conditions (I'm in Scotland, UK) over the PZero's is noticeably better. Very little in the way of the Ackerman effect in cold temperatures, compared to the PZero's which made an awful noise and skipped badly when turning at slow speeds, pulling out of junctions. Will see how they do wear rate wise, PZero's had about 2.5 to 3mm left at 16k miles. Anything approaching that on the ASY5's would be good. Unfortunately on the J1.1 on 21"'s the choice is essentially PZero's or ASY5's. Which is disappointing as I had PS4S's and CSC7's on my previous cars (G81 M3 and M340i Touring) and they were fantastic.”

Overall, it is viewed as a capable, high-performing summer tire that balances comfort and traction effectively.
“I switched out my 20” good year’s that came with the car for a set of continental premium contact 6 POL a month ago before a vacation trip. They were excellent in heavy rain. Can recommend. EX30 2024 TM Ultra.”
“Continental PremiumContact 6 Bought in 2020. new, first picture is front, second is back, I rotated them 2 years ago. I see some dry rot, but they could be good for this and another year? Škoda Octavia 1.9TDI 110hp, tire size 195-65-15”
“My continental premium contact 6’s getting to end or ? I am using these for the last 3 years and drove 46K km on them. Treadwear indicator for 3mm is getting very close. Should I rush or let them run for maybe another 5-10K ? Read more”

Community members generally view the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 5 very positively, frequently praising its wet grip, cold weather performance, and steering feel when compared to rivals like Michelin Pilot Sport 4 and Pirelli P Zero. While some users find them exceptionally quiet, others note moderate road noise or low-speed scrubbing on full lock.
“F1 Asy 5s on my S204. I can confirm they are pretty decent and have coped well with the tarmac-ripping 154hp and 184 lbs-ft torque of the M274 fitted to my wagon”
“I have them fitted in both my cars (Audi A6 and CLK350). Neither had the performance of your AMG but I can confirm they are the best tyres I’ve ever had in terms of grip and feel.”

Every category score blends two independent signals. 60% comes from professional tire tests (braking distances, lap times, noise measurements), each result compared with every other tire in the same test and newer tests counting more. 40% comes from owner reviews found online, adjusted for how generously each site rates. Both use one scale: the average tested tire gets 70, the best 100. When a tire has only one of the two, the missing half is estimated from the other and the score stays closer to average; with no road test and fewer than five owner reviews it gets no score yet.
Community buzz from Reddit and forums is shown for context only — it never changes the score.
