Pros, cons & observations

Themes extracted from owner reviews across retailers and review sites — not the opinion of TireWheelGuide.

Tire A Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6

The Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6 is widely regarded as a top-tier ultra-high-performance tire that excels in balancing daily comfort with impressive wet and dry grip. Most users report a significant improvement in handling, noise levels, and ride quality compared to their previous tires, making it a highly competitive and often more affordable alternative to premium rivals like the Michelin Pilot Sport series.

Pros

  • Exceptional wet and dry grip with predictable handling at the limit.
  • High levels of ride comfort and low road noise for a performance-oriented tire.
  • Strong value proposition compared to other premium UHP brands.
  • Excellent steering responsiveness and feedback.
  • Effective rim protection design.

Cons

  • Rapid tread wear reported by many users, particularly under spirited driving.
  • Soft sidewalls can lead to a 'squishy' or floaty feeling during aggressive cornering.
  • Some reports of high road noise on rough or non-smooth asphalt surfaces.
  • Performance can be inconsistent until the tires reach optimal operating temperature.

Observations

  • Users transitioning from run-flat tires to the Asymmetric 6 consistently report a transformative improvement in ride comfort and a reduction in tramlining.
  • Owners of heavier vehicles or those with high-torque setups often report faster-than-expected tread wear on the rear axle.
  • Drivers of smaller, lighter vehicles (e.g., Mazda MX-5, Suzuki Swift) frequently praise the tire's agility and progressive behavior at the limit.
Tire B Goodyear GT3

The Goodyear GT3 is widely regarded as an outdated and polarizing tire, frequently criticized for poor wet-weather performance, high road noise, and inconsistent durability. While a minority of users report satisfactory longevity and dry-road stability, the prevailing consensus suggests that modern alternatives offer significantly better value and safety.

Pros

  • Acceptable dry-road grip and stability
  • Reasonable comfort levels when new
  • Competitive pricing in certain markets
  • Predictable handling for light, casual driving

Cons

  • Poor traction and safety concerns on wet surfaces
  • High levels of road noise that increase with tread wear
  • Short tread life and premature wear, particularly on front-wheel-drive vehicles
  • Susceptibility to punctures and structural issues like air bubbles

Observations

  • Users of front-wheel-drive hatchbacks and compact cars frequently report rapid front-tire wear, often failing before 30,000 km.
  • Owners of vehicles where the GT3 was factory-fitted (e.g., Honda Jazz/Fit) frequently express dissatisfaction, suggesting the tire's design is outdated compared to current market standards.

“215/45 R17 — Primacy 4+ or Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6 for a daily driver My current tyres have developed deep cracks so they need replacing. The annoying part is that half the tyres people recommend simply don't exist in 215/45 R17, which cuts the list down fast. The two that keep coming up are the Michelin Primacy 4+ and the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6, but they seem built for completely different drivers. Context: 2024 skoda Fabia 1.5 TSI. I'm not a sporty driver commuting and errands, occasionally push the pedal on an on-ramp, nothing crazy. Hot dry climate with heavy rain in winter and zero snow, so summer tyres only. What I actually want is longevity, comfort and solid wet grip. Quiet would be a bonus. Is the Asymmetric 6 just overkill for how I drive? And is there anything else in this size I should be looking at Read more”

“Goodyear EfficentGrip Performance 2 vs. Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6 I'm struggling to choose between the two as there is currently a deal on which means the difference in price is only £5 per tyre. I think that means the Asy6 is the no brainer, but my use case doesn't call for a UHP. I value comfort, road noise and resistance to dry cracking over anything else. I don't do many miles. I've already got the Asy6 on the rear axle (came with the wheels) and I'm looking to buy 2 new tyres for the front. I'll need rears at some point probably in the next year. I'd like my car to be more comfortable on broken roads, but I don't think the tyres are the main issue. The car is a Merc C180 estate family car. With 2 young kids, I don't exactly push the car hard. It mostly sits on the motorway or pootles around town. Am I overthinking it? Fronts: 225/45/17 Rears: 245/40/17”

“I've had the Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6 (235/45/18). They were really sturdy, comfort was super bad with them and I sold them for half the price. These are sport tyres, you do not need them.”

“No EV ready logo on Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6 I recently bought Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6 255/45R19 104Y XL SCT tyres. According to this article, this tyre should contain EV Ready logo but my tyres do not have it. I discussed with seller and they claimed that this tyres are ev ready even if it does not have the ev ready logo. Is that possible ? Can i trust that my tyres are EV Ready ?”

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.
