In this article we will be looking at independent tyre test data, and real world driver reviews of the Firestone Firehawk Sport and the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6 to find out which tyre is best for your own driving.
There are a few basic differences between the two tyres. The Firestone Firehawk Sport is an Ultra-High-Performance Summer tyre designed to be fitted to Passenger-Cars, and the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6 is an Max-Performance Summer tyre designed to be fitted to Passenger-Cars
Independent comparison tyre tests are the best source of data to get tyre information from, and the good news is there have been six tests which compare both tyres directly!
Out of these six tests:
While it might look like the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6 is better than the Firestone Firehawk Sport purely based on the higher number of test wins, 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.
Looking at data from six tyre tests, the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6 was better during five dry braking tests. On average the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6 stopped the vehicle in 1.27% less distance than the Firestone Firehawk Sport.

Remember, the best tyre for you might depend on which of these factors are most important for your specific driving needs and conditions.
Looking for more tyre comparisons? Here are other direct comparisons involving these tyres:
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.
