Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6 review

The Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6 is a high-performance summer tire designed for sports cars and high-end vehicles. It features a asymmetric tread pattern which provides improved handling in both wet and dry conditions. The tire also boasts of some advanced technologies such as Dry contact plus technology and Wet braking pro technology. Dry contact plus technology allows the tire's contact patch to adapt to the driving style and road surface for improved dry performance. Wet braking pro technology uses a new resin that allows the tire to have more micro-contact with the road which results in improved wet braking. Additionally, the tire is Electric Vehicle ready, which means it has lower noise emissions and reduced rolling resistance, making it a perfect fit for electric vehicles. Overall, this is a high-performing, sporty tire that is well-suited for sports cars and high-end vehicles, especially electric vehicles with its low noise and rolling resistance feature.

Themes extracted from 193 owner reviews across retailers and review sites.

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.

Worth knowing

  • 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.
