Questions and Answers for the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6
Ask a questionHas anyone compared these to the supersports? Currently running f1 supersports all round on a vauxhall astra mk5 vxr, 280bhp front wheel drive, tempted to give these a try as the car is only a daily with occasional spirited back road driving, one thing that made me go for the supersports was the firm sidewall as I previously ran rainsport 3s and the handling was terrible due to the soft sidewalls so not wanting to loose the sidewall feeling of the supersports
Does this tyre work on an M135 xdrive (2013) with serial wheels (summer)?
Does the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymetric 6 tyre have a rim protector?
Has anyone else noticed a worsening of fuel economy with the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6. I had 4 fitted (Audi Q3) and its coincided with a significant fuel economy reduction (approx. 15%)?
Any idea on how thesel hold up with light track work? Heading to the Nurburgring in June and wanted to fit a set of F1 Supersports, however they have been out of stock in 245/35/18 since October, so looking for an alternative for my 2013 M135i
What would be best for a Audi a4 225 50 17 for comfort and noise the Asym 6 or the efficientgrip performance 2?
Im due to change my RFT`s on my 2009 330i M Sport Coupe Auto. Is this a good idea? My choice would be to change to Goodyear Asym 5 or 6. Or PS4s. Which do you consider would suit the car better. Im running on 19" rims with 225/35`s front and 255/30`s rear. I had Asym 5`s on my 330i Ci which were brilliant. Dont do any spirited driving any more. Too old for that now (70). Safety and comfort is more desirable, specially when I have "miss Daisy" with me !!!
Can’t find manufacturer specifications so I hope you can help. Do 235/45/18 Goodyears fit on a 7 inch rim?
Would the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6 be a good choice for MX5 MK3.75 2LTR Sportek.
Which would be best on a mx5 3.75 2lt sportex michelin ps5 or goodyear eagle f1 asymmetric 6
I consider buying a set of Asymmetric 6 or Michelin PS4s for a Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio. Which one do you think is better considering I live in a climate where there are 10 °C in morning/during night and 30-40 °C during the day and it is raining once few weeks, but when it does, it raines very hard. I am not going to track but I have a more sporty driving style. I plan on using them for autumn as well, when it is raining more often and there are even 5 °C in the morning and 25-30 during day. What do you think?
They will offer much more grip in cold / wet conditions though.
Reading a few of the reviews below about terrible longevity, do you think that an investigation is necessary. There seem to be three different types of AS6 on offer ( I am looking for 235/40/19). Two seem to be EV ready one being 96Y rated (cheaper!) and one 96W rated (more expensive). I have also now seen a third one on Protyre website which is the most expensive and also 96Y. The prices for reference are £175, £191 and £206.50 I phoned Goodyear UK to ask about the differences (specifically to do with tyre weight and tread depth on each) and the information was "not available". Perhaps you can use your industry contacts to round up the three sets and measure weight tread depth as it may be that people fit the EV ready one and the tread depth is significantly lower resulting in lower mileage as we are using a different tyre to your review.
Goodyear assure me all aftermarket Asymmetric 6 models are EV ready and should be marked as such (there may be OE versions not marked)

Review Summary
Based on 168 user reviews
Across reviews, the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6 is most often described as an exceptionally confident UHP tyre with very strong dry and especially wet grip, high braking performance, and predictable/progressive handling near the limit. Many drivers also report a noticeably more comfortable ride and lower noise than the tyres they replaced, making it feel unusually "daily-friendly" for this category. The most repeated downsides are quicker-than-expected wear for some users and pronounced rumble/roar on rough asphalt, with a smaller but recurring theme of softer sidewalls or slightly duller turn-in compared with sharper rivals.
Strengths
- Excellent wet grip and wet braking confidence
- Strong dry grip and braking performance
- Predictable/progressive handling at the limit
- Improved comfort/compliance for a uhp tyre
- Often quieter than previous tyres on smooth roads
- Good value for money versus premium rivals
Areas for Improvement
- Faster wear/shorter longevity than expected for many drivers
- Noticeable road noise/rumble on rough or coarse asphalt
- Soft sidewall feel or slightly dull/numb turn-in leading to some understeer/float at higher speeds
Top 3 Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6 Reviews
Must say I felt safe driving my MPV in both mundane city driving and some spirited driving in the countryside in the neighbouring country. Drives through rain almost like it's a dry road. Cornering feels nice, handling is good. Responsive to braking, especially when roads are wet. V slightly noisy but hey, it's a UHP tyre, it's bound to have some amount of noise. Make it last longer and I will happily buy it again.
Yes, the car is meant to feel firm and sporty, but given the current state of the roads, I wanted something that still offered good grip and driving enjoyment, but with a significant improvement in comfort. Previously, the suspension couldn’t do its job properly because the tyres were transmitting every bump and imperfection straight into it, compromising the ride quality and ultimately grip and handling.
These new Goodyears have hit the mark perfectly — they’ve completely transformed how the car rides and drives. While they may not feel quite as sharp as the Advans at higher speeds, I’m now getting traction and compliance without sacrificing the fun of driving.
I've even recommended them to friends with other cars, like the Octavia vRS, and the feedback has been great — good wear, improved comfort, and happy drivers.
Thanks to Tyre Reviews, and thanks to Goodyear!

They give nice feedback & feeling to the wheel. They grip exceptional in dry & wet conditions, you have to try a lot to find their limit. They have a quiet rolling & of course they wear fast as a sport tyre should do (the last 2 photos is the difference between front & rear wear after 11.000km). Personally I am a Pirelli pzero fan but since I didn’t have the choice of them at my dimensions I had to choose something else & now I can definitely say that I would buy Goodyear again
They are very quiet and wear is low. The Assymmetric 5 lasted alsmost 25000 km in my case. I think the 6 will be around the same. I use them for country/mountain roads, long road trips and a trackday once a year. The fuel cosumption is noticably higher than other tyres though.
Very competitively priced and good wear, given the use and power of the car.
I expect to get circa 17000 miles from the set on this car.
In the wet they provide assured confidence with plenty of stopping power. I wouldn't put these on anything that was not fast and powerful, you would just be wasting them.
My wife's honda has some of the more affordable Goodyears and they work fine for non performance cars, efficient grip I think they're called, plenty for a normal everyday people carrier.
