“I've had the Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6 (235/45/18). They were really sturdy, comfort was super bad with them and I sold them for half the price. These are sport tyres, you do not need them.”

    No owner ratings of noise for Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6 or EfficientGrip 2 SUV. The owner half is the owners’ average (66): owners’ noise ratings barely follow the road tests, so the tests say nothing about how owners would rate it.

Tire A

Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6

Positive

The Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6 is widely regarded as a top-tier UHP summer tyre with strong dry grip, good wet performance and rim protection. It is often recommended as a comparable or better-value alternative to the Michelin PS5. Reservations include a harsh ride and poor comfort for non-sporty daily use, a harshly negative Swedish test of cold-weather braking, concerns about wear and track use, and isolated vibration and EV-rating questions.

How do we compare tires?

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.
