Pros, cons & observations
Themes extracted from owner reviews found online — not the opinion of TireWheelGuide.
Tire A Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6
Pros
Exceptional wet and dry grip with predictable, progressive behavior at the limit
Significantly lower road noise and improved ride comfort compared to run-flats and predecessors
Sharp, responsive steering feel and agile turn-in response
Cons
Faster-than-expected tread wear or short lifespan reported by some aggressive drivers
Softer sidewalls can induce a slightly squishy or floaty feeling during hard, high-speed cornering
Occasional complaints about loud resonance or road noise on rough or concrete asphalt surfaces
From Reddit, forums and review threads. Not part of our score
Tire A
Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6
Positive
Community opinion on the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6 is largely positive, with drivers praising its high performance, dry and wet road manners, competitive pricing, and overall capability as a daily and spirited driving tyre. Some users raise concerns regarding ride firmness, high-speed vibration issues, rapid wear under track conditions, and compromised grip in cold wet temperatures as noted in Scandinavian testing. Compatibility discussions also frequently centre on EV suitability, Porsche N-ratings, and rim protection markings.
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.
