Test Results

Independent comparison tyre tests are the best source of data to get tyre information from, and the good news is there have been four tests which compare both tyres directly!

Out of these four tests:

  • Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6 finished ahead of the Pirelli Scorpion in two of the tests
  • Pirelli Scorpion finished ahead of the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6 in two of the tests

The Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6 and Pirelli Scorpion have an equal number of test wins. However, tyres are very complicated objects which means where one tyre is better than the other can be more important in real world use.

Let's look at how the two tyres compare across multiple tyre test categories.

Best Review for the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6
Given 100% 225/40 R18 on a combination of roads for 1,000 spirited miles
I am a massive Goodyear fan. I had the Assym 3's on a previous car and never looked back.

I have now had the Eagle F1 Asymmetric 5's, Goodyear Eagle F1 Supersports, Michelin PS4 and even some Avon's (for a brief period) on my current car - a Golf GTI Clubsport 40.

I mix up my driving a lot - lots of motorway driving but also lots of hard street driving and B road blasts, I find it massively important to have the best tyres possible to allow me to push my car as hard as I can in a safe manner.

I was massively impressed with the Asymmetric 5's, the sheer grip... Continue reading this review using the link below

Given 74% 255/45 R19 on mostly country roads for 16,000 average miles
Coming from a hot Audi hatchback, it was clear to me that trying to drive my new plug-in hybrid SUV in a spirited way was pointless. The tyres aided to this as the feedback is average and rather imprecise in the corners when pushing with 245hp on the front wheels. Further to this, the tyres lose grip easily when you are facing uphill and trying to start moving from a stand, especially in the wet. They are not a looker either, if that matters to you.

Comfort is where the tyres excel! The profile is rather low for this kind of vehicle, but the puddles are a joke and, I recon, the... Continue reading this review using the link below

Conclusion

In conclusion the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6 performed better in dry braking, dry handling [km/h], wet braking, wet handling [km/h], wet circle and curved aquaplaning, while the Pirelli Scorpion performed better in wet handling [s], straight aqua, gravel handling [km/h], gravel traction, sand traction, grass traction, mud traction, subj. comfort, subj. noise, noise and rolling resistance.

Interestingly, both tyres performed equally well in subj. dry handling, showing that they are closely matched in these areas.

Which tyre is best for you depends a lot on your driving style and situation, plus what you want from the tyre. Comparing all the data in the tyre reviews database, on balance Pirelli Scorpion seems to be the best tyre overall.

However, it's important to note that both tyres have their strengths.

Remember, the best tyre for you might depend on which of these factors are most important for your specific driving needs and conditions.

Pirelli Scorpion

Overall Winner: Pirelli Scorpion

Based on the tyre test data and user reviews we have in our database, the Pirelli Scorpion has demonstrated better overall performance in this comparison. However, as you can see from the spider diagram above, each tyre has its own strengths which should be considered in your final tyre buying choice.

Footnote

This page has been developed using tyre industry testing best practices. This means we are only comparing tests which have had both tyres in the same test.

Why is this important? Tyre testing is heavily affected by things like surface grip levels and surface temperature, which means you can only compare values from the same day. During a tyre test external condition changes are calculated into the overall results, but it is not possible to calculate this between tyre tests performed on different days or at different locations.

As a result you will see other tests on Tyre Reviews which feature both the %s and %s, but as they weren't conducted on the same day, the results are not comparable.

Lots of other websites do this sort of tyre comparison, Tyre Reviews doesn't.
