Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 5

Two scoring systems, side by side

Owner scores come from reviews found online; road-test scores come from instrumented tests. Where they disagree, it is usually a discipline owners rarely push to the limit.

How scores work
Relative score
0–100. Blends road tests (60%) and owner reviews (40%) category by category, the same way on every TireWheelGuide page. With only one of the two, the missing half is estimated from it, so the score stays closer to average. It needs at least one road test or five owner reviews.
Road tests
0–100 per score, from published tests, newer tests counting more. Each result is compared with every other tire in the same test, so a win against a strong field counts for more. The average tested tire gets 70, the best 100; with only one or two tests a tire stays nearer 70. The discipline rows show % of the best tire in that test.
Owner reviews
0–100 from the owner reviews we found online, adjusted for how generously each site rates and scaled like the road tests: the average tested tire gets 70. With only a few reviews a tire stays near the average.

What owners like and dislike

Themes extracted from 3,611 owner reviews found online.

The Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 5 is widely praised by users as a top-tier UHP summer tire that delivers exceptional dry and wet grip, precise steering response, and strong value compared to competitors like Michelin. While the majority of drivers note excellent handling and increased driving confidence, a subset of users report issues regarding rapid tread wear, road noise on certain rough surfaces, and sidewall stiffness affecting ride comfort.

Pros

  • Exceptional wet and dry grip
  • Precise steering response and high-speed stability
  • Strong value for money compared to tier-one rivals
  • Predictable and safe behavior at the limit
  • Good ride comfort and noise levels on standard asphalt

Cons

  • Faster-than-expected tread wear for some aggressive drivers
  • Notable road noise on coarse or concrete road surfaces
  • Stiffer sidewalls can lead to a harsher ride quality on certain vehicles
  • Reduced performance and hardening in colder temperatures

Worth knowing

  • Drivers transitioning from factory run-flat tires on BMWs and Mercedes-Benz models noted a dramatic improvement in ride comfort, reduced tramlining, and enhanced overall compliance.
  • Users on heavier hybrid and high-torque vehicles appreciated the strong traction and resistance to wheel spin under acceleration.
  • Owners running low-profile setups (such as 19-inch and 20-inch sizes) occasionally cited a firmer ride and increased susceptibility to road noise on rough chip-seal highways.

What owners are saying

From Reddit, forums and review threads. Not part of the scores above.

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”

“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.”

“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.”
