From owners
Pros, cons & observations
Themes extracted from owner reviews across retailers and review sites — not the opinion of TireWheelGuide.
The Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 5 is widely regarded as a top-tier, high-performance all-rounder that excels in both wet and dry conditions. Users frequently praise its predictable handling, strong grip, and excellent value compared to more expensive competitors like the Michelin Pilot Sport series. While most owners report high satisfaction, some note concerns regarding road noise and inconsistent tread life depending on driving style and vehicle weight.
Pros
- Exceptional wet and dry grip
- Predictable and confidence-inspiring handling at the limit
- High value-for-money proposition
- Strong braking performance
- Good rim protection features
Cons
- Noticeable road noise on certain surfaces
- Tread life can be inconsistent, with some users reporting rapid wear
- Stiffer sidewalls can lead to a harsher ride on rough roads
- Occasional reports of quality control issues like balancing difficulties
Observations
- Users transitioning from run-flat tires to the Asymmetric 5 consistently report a massive improvement in ride comfort and steering feel.
- Drivers of heavier or high-torque vehicles (e.g., 300hp+ sedans) report faster tread wear, though many still praise the tire's ability to manage power delivery.
- Some users on lower-profile setups (18-20 inch) noted increased road noise and sensitivity to road imperfections compared to smaller, higher-profile configurations.
The Goodyear EfficientGrip 2 SUV is widely regarded as a premium touring tire that excels in comfort, noise reduction, and longevity. While it is not designed for sporty handling, it provides a safe, reliable, and fuel-efficient experience for everyday SUV and crossover drivers.
Pros
- Exceptional ride comfort and road noise suppression
- Impressive tread longevity and durability
- Strong wet and dry road traction for touring purposes
- Positive impact on fuel economy and MPG
Cons
- Soft sidewalls can lead to a lack of steering feedback and 'mushy' handling
- Lack of rim protection
- Poor performance in cold, near-freezing temperatures
- Susceptibility to sidewall damage due to thin construction
Observations
- Users on 19-inch wheels report a good balance of comfort and stability for highway commuting.
- Drivers of older SUVs (e.g., E83 X3) noted a significant upgrade in ride quality compared to previous tires, though some expressed concerns regarding sidewall robustness.

How do we compare tires?
Every category score blends two independent signals. 60% comes from professional tire tests (braking distances, lap times, noise measurements) normalized against the best tire in each test and weighted toward recent tests. 40% comes from thousands of owner reviews collected from retailers and review sites. When a tire has only one of the two, we use what exists and say so.
Community buzz from Reddit and forums is shown for context only — it never changes the score.
