Higher is better. The Relative Score follows your weights below; category scores do not change.
Wet grip starts at “Important”. Treadwear starts at “Neutral” here: road tests measured it for at most one of the two tires, so it rests on owner reviews. Move the sliders and the scores update instantly.
Only one of the two tires has a score here, so this weight changes nothing in the head-to-head.

Themes extracted from owner reviews found online — not the opinion of TireWheelGuide.
From Reddit, forums and review threads. Not part of our score
The community generally regards the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 2 as a high-performing tire that offers great wet weather handling, a comfortable ride, and low noise levels compared to stiffer alternatives like Bridgestone and Continental. Drivers frequently note that these tires transform vehicle handling dynamics, offering a softer yet responsive ride that makes harsh suspensions more manageable. While some users on higher-powered cars experience occasional wheel spin, the overall consensus highlights them as a top-tier choice receiving strong reviews and competitive pricing.
“i had some of those i think. they were ok. not great def got some wheel spin with them but i never felt unsafe. lasted a good prob 25-30k miles. i think mine were higher speed rating tho maybe 103 or something like that. for 100/tire not bad.”

Yes, that price of £122 back in September was very good. There have been some well priced Goodyears F1's on Amazon recently, with keeping a watch fro your size.”

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.
Handling is the exception: road tests measure it inside the dry and wet scores, so its own row comes from owner ratings only and starts as less important.
