Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6 Reviews - Page 8

Given 70% while driving a Audi A3 Sportback (225/45 R17) on a combination of roads for 5,000 average miles
After driven 5000 km all in dry conditions , I really dont know what the manufactuer had on their goals when they plan this tire but definately its not an UHP tire at all. Grip is ok but for a fresh new tire is expected but pretty much an understering apears when cornerning. Braking is ok but not something extraordinary .Tested at a bit high speed after a little hard braking the car seems to behave unsteable (lower the front edge too much). Although i drive a car with a sport suspension, due to the way the design of the tire to increase the impact patch during turnings, braking, or passing roads malfactions the tire behave as an extra suspension in uncordination and as the tread is soft the car feels unsteable again. So i prefer driving far away from the car limits because i am confident on how the tire reacts . The only positive i see is that it is very comfort tire with low noise soft and light with low rolling resistance and less fuel consumsion. At the end this is not a sporty tire and with less wear than As5.

I have 225 45 r17 asymmetrical size 6, the tires are quite quiet, but the comfort is terrible, it is difficult, do not buy if you want comfort. But if you want full performance, the best tire you can buy is already #1 in the test. Dry cornering performance and dry braking performance are legendary. They do very well in wet conditions. Uhp katogeri's best tire in 2022.

Changing from Goodyear F1SS to F1A6, the F1A6 gives me more comfort and quiet feeling, very good tires, and I love to drive everyday to enjoy the new F1A6.

I have an E36 and I use them for the front tires and I can say that there is something wrong with the production of the new tires, it does not feel close to the Asymmetric 5 and not close to the PS4 This tire behaves like a completely normal Chinese tire, I only do drifts with the vehicle It is best to go back to Asymmetric 5 or switch to another brand

Just gone from Bridgestone potenza sport to these as they wore out to quickly but were the better tyre when going for it the sidewall on the asymmetric 6 are to soft and flex to much on high speed corners leading to the care getting unsettled and understeer whereas the Bridgestone didn't but the asymmetric 6 are better in the wet quieter better feedback and wear a lot slower

Changed from worn Hankook Icept Evo2 winter tires to new Goodyear Eagle F1 Asym 6, so it is "apples to oranges". However, the difference is larger than I expected. Comfort (with a sporty suspension) is so much better that it almost feels like the difference to smaller rims. Road noise: significantly reduced and immediately noticeable. Handling feels very grippy. Comparison to P Zero summer tires from last year (~50% worn) is more difficult, but from my memory, the Pirellis were not as comfortable and didn't have such an enjoyable feeling to drive like the Goodyears.

My car had Continental SportContact 5, 225/40 R18 front tyres and Falken Azenis FK510, 245/35 R18 rear tyres and I replaced those tyres with 4mm of tread remaining. These new tyres give much, much better grip on wet and dry roads. My car now feels well balanced with lots of 'bite' in the steering. On mixed Motorway, A and B roads these new tyres are very quiet indeed, with a little bit of hum at higher motorway speeds on rough surfaces. The tyres do feel stiffer at low speeds on poor surfaces, but my usual passenger did not notice a difference. I have not driven in really heavy rain so I cannot comment on aquaplaning behaviour.

At first I was a bit dissapointed because the new tires only had 7mm of thread. So we will see how long they will last. In the dry the car feels like on rails. There is very little diference in the wet. Comparing them to the budget tires that came on the car its night and day. They are quiet and comfortable better than you would expect from this dimension. Road feedback is awesome. Will see about their lifespan but for now will buy again.

Comparing with BMW OEM Michelin PSS* 225/40 & 245/35 18, both same size, on a M140 RWD: Feedback / Handling: Yes the PSS feels a bit sharper with more steering feedback. But thats the (only) aspect where the 10 year old PSS is still benchmark. Road noise: Noticable less noise on the Asym6 Comfort: Asym6 noticably more comfortable on road imperfections such as pot-holes, Asym6 makes these feel smoother Absolute Grip: feels very good with the Asym6, but havent really pushed the tyre so far (not used on track etc) Cold grip: feels to have much more grip as the PSS which was really poos below 15C Rain: not driven so much, but seems to be good

These tyres are the best I have tried. Much better all round than the Michelin Pilot Super Sport I had on which are only good in warm and dry wetter. These have great comfort and low noise while still being sporty.
