Performance Analysis

Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6 - Official Image

Across 32 summer tyre tests, the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6 shows consistently front-running overall performance (average overall position 2.9) with repeated podiums and strong awards (1x test winner, 2x highly recommended). The dominant pattern is a very sporty, precise dry character combined with strong wet grip/handling and unusually strong longevity/value outcomes for a UHP tyre, making it a frequent overall contender and multiple-time winner.

Its main recurring limitation is aquaplaning performance variability-especially straight-line aquaplaning where it can swing from class-leading to last-plus a tendency toward only mid-pack to poor rolling resistance in several independent tests (notably in SUV/EV contexts). Off-road/SUV traction is generally good but not as consistently elite as its on-road dynamic performance.
