Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6 Reviews - Page 3

Best feature is the gradual and progressive loss of grip at the limit, rather than sudden loss

I wanted to try something new when buying new pair of fronts (at the back I left the previous gen. - EA5 - from former owner of the car).

Some professional reviews claimed that this is something between a touring and sports tyre. However I quickly realized this was an overkill for my FWD 163HP diesel estate as it turns out it has very little to do with touring tyres as claimed.

The grip on dry and wet is absolutely amazing and it is very difficult to find the limit of the tyre on a car like mine. But I do miss more of the qualities of touring tyres - I feel like it lacks aquaplaning resistance on highways and the noise on anything other than perfectly smooth tarmac is very high.

Wear: After one summer season of mostly highway motoring and occasional spirited driving on nice roads the tread on the fronts is down to cca 5.3mm. On the back I still have the previous generation - EA5.

Conclusion: Fun experience and definitely a great tyre for sportier use, but I learned that I need something more balanced (characteristics-wise) for my usecase and car. After I wear these out I will buy something like Continental Premium Contact or Pirelli Cinturato.

I’ve been running the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric tyres for about ~15,500 mi (~25,000 km), mostly on highways. Overall, they still perform very well — grip is strong, and they remain predictable in most conditions. Only recently have I started noticing some limits: in sharp, high-speed cornering and during hard acceleration, the car tends to lose traction a bit more than before.

Noise and comfort are phenomenal, easily among the best I’ve experienced. As for wet performance, I haven’t had the chance to properly test them this year due to the lack of rain, but last year they were also outstanding in wet conditions.

The tread depth is currently around 2.5 mm, so I'm expecting them to last another ~6000 mi (~10,000 km) or so. For the mileage covered, I’m impressed with how well they’ve held up. Solid performance, great durability, and still plenty of confidence in everyday driving.

For a road UHP tyre I cannot fault this tyre. In dry, warm conditions grip and feel levels are exceptional. Car came with PS4S tyres and these feel ever so slightly more sporty. I cannot notice any difference in wet driving or comfort compared to PS4S. Wear for me is entirely accpetable, prev these tyres lasted 21,000 on fronts (on FWD car).
Grip levels drop once temps are below 7C but this is a summer tyre so nothing surprising and I have never felt like the tyres were out of their comfort zone other than the rare occasions of sub 0C and snow.
The small rim protector has saved my wheels a few times, just don't expect a miracle.

I shop around and usually pay £130 for these.
Overall i reccomend and will continue fititng these to my car.

Literally the best tires I have ever fitted to the car- compared to Crossclimate 1 and kumho ps72. Driven for 2 years and around 15k miles they have around 3.5mm tread left. Driving style is very spirited, with a 40% highway driving of 140-160kmh, 25%mountainous roads and the rest is city with a lot of accelerations and stops. Dry grip is examplary- couldn't even get to their limit. You have to do something very stupid to loose the grip, even in 200bhp car. Wet handling is also fabulous. The tire was also driven during the cold months, due to the soft climate, but never in snow or ice. Can't comment on the comfort as the wind noise was always more than the tires one. These tires have seen a lot of potholes, but no damage has been observed. Will definitely buy again.

Good tyre overall, dry grip is top notch, handles hard braking and fast corners really well, wet grip is also really good, has good water dispersion on long but not too deep puddles tho i feel like it could a bit better on deeper ones. handles heat well on a 1.8ton suv and keeps really well the weight transfer, driven so far 15k km and its showing some signs of use but it's holding up really well.

I had them for 2 summer season before i sold my car. I had them on volvo c70, which i used a lot on highway, motorway, mountain roads etc.. I had a lot opportunities to take them to and a bit above limit. First of all, they are grippy even cold, but they like to be warmed up a bit. When they absorb just a bit of temperature they are like glue no meter if its dry or wet or very vet. In corners there are no surprises, they will let you know (you can feel) that you reached limit and even if you continue to push and they start to let go you still have control (u still have grip when you are sliding ). Amazing tyre, comparable to pirelli pz4 but better wear resistance. After two season of spirited driving i was left from 7mm to 5mm with wheel rotation. So wet grip is great, dry grip great, feedback is very good all in all i love this tyre!

Use them on a MX5 ND, amazing grip, especially in the wet, good feed near the limit, progress loss of grip so easy to push. Wear is ok but maybe not for someone doing high mileage.

I do like these tyres they are grippy in both wet and dry and have massive amounts of confidence in wet conditions, I've never felt unsafe with these tyres in the wet they are simply superb. They replaced Michelin PS5 that was just as good but wanted to try these out as I had seen positive reviews of it being great.
Wear rate seems to be ok I haven't seen a lot of wear after 3000 miles all 4 tyres are still 6.5-7mm tread depth.
Now here is the downside of these tyres they are absolutely horrible to drive on rough asphalt roads, they generate so much rumbling noise. I live in London where most of the speed limit is 20mph and they are dreadfully noisy on old rough asphalt at this speed. I thought that I had bad wheel bearings but as soon as I drive on newly laid road that is less than a year old they are so quiet.
Goodyear what have you done to these tyres I hade the assy 3 many years ago on my old mk7 GTI and they were fantastic and did not have any of this tyre noise.
I don't know maybe something has changed with these tyres as they are now rated for EV cars I wonder if they need higher tyre pressures, my mk7.5 golf R estate are rated for 38psi and this is the pressure I set on these initially, I had to lower it to 36psi to make the tyres less noisy but losing out on mpg.
I cant wait to get these tyres worn down so I can replace them.

Replaced the original Michelin Primacy 4's a few days after getting the car new and the Asymmetric 6's immediately felt sportier with more direct steering feel, less body roll and a tremendous amount of grip, particularly in the wet, making the drive safer and more confident in all conditions. At the same time, road noise inside the car went up a notch and the car felt a tad bouncier although I would still consider it comfortable and quiet. Wear level is good – 6mm tread left all round after 5000 gentle miles. Fuel consumption: managed 69.9 mpg from London to Cambridge (cold engine, no aircon or heating, around 20C). A great set of tyres!

Update after a couple days and travelling around 400+ miles in wet, dry weather.

WOW, the grip difference is crazy and the reduced road noise is very noticeable. MPG has also gone up slightly. Very happy with the Goodyear Eagle F1 ASY6's. I have a lot more confidence with the car's handling and the ride has gotten noticeably smoother. Overall extremely satisfied.

I had to replace the summer tires on my Fiesta ST this year. Before I had the Pilot Sport 4 from factory and was not really satisfied with them on my car. Grip was good, but comfort was not great and the car tended to hop when the wheels where spinning on high load in low gear. Also on some bad highways I had similar problems with a bit of "hopping".
So I decided to get the AS6s as replacement mostly because of the good reviews they got and also the lower cost compared to michelins. And wow what a difference! The car feels more planted now and on heavy accelleration and the "hopping" is completely gone. Also the fuel economy is a bit better now. The grip on dry B-roads feels very good and you can push really hard. The Steering feels a bit softer compared to the PS4 and the initial steering response is not as sharp but still ok for me. This could also be caused by the higher tread of the new tires compared to the worn out michelins. In wet conditon the tire also feels really good and allways safe. But I did not really test the limit there so far.
The tires also look good on my car and the rim protection is quite thick.
All in all I am pretty satisfied with the tires and you should definitly consider them if you drive a sporty lightweight car with a bit of power.
