Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6 Reviews - Page 9

Given 94% while driving a Volkswagen Polo GTI (215/45 R17) on a combination of roads for 400 spirited miles
I watched your video of a big group tyre test with the MK8 Golf GTI which included the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6, Michelin Pilot Sport 5 and Bridgestone Potenza with many other tyres. After hearing your feedback of the tyres and seeing the results, the Goodyear seemed to impress in each category. I then went ahead and purchased them for my car which had a semi budget Nexen on the front and Michelin on the rear. With the tyre change the car was transformed. The dry grip is incredible and the feel through the steering wheel is amazing. I'm quite young so the comfort of the tyre didn't matter to me but my dad who drove it said it was a tad hard. The traction when driving away with a considerable amount of throttle is very good. I am yet to drive them in wet conditions but I'm sure they will excel in this category as well. I would highly recommend purchasing these tyres. Thanks for your reviews

Replaced Michelin primacy 3 235/50/18 to these 245/45/18 and the differences are huge. They weigh significantly less and although the profile is a bit lower, it smooth over road holes much better. I also like the rim protection and good manoeuvrability of them

Certainly the most comfortable and quietest tire I have ever experienced in 10 years of owning this car. Grip and price all good. The biggest issue I have with this tire is, that I also want it on my second car too and for some reason the price is double for 235/50/18 compared to 225/45/17.

After being disappointed with the new Michelin Pilot Sport 5 I fitted a set of these. And boy am I glad I did! Much better steering feel, the understeer is gone and the level of grip is amazing. It also seems to be a tad quieter. The rim protector is also a big step up. Much wider and harder/stronger than the Michelin. Cannot recommend this tire enough if you like spirited driving!

For the first time i changed the tyres on my Audi A4 B9 Avant. When i bought the car, came with Pirelli P7 Cinturato tyres, but after 2 years, tyres came to am end. Watching many reviews on tyrereviews, came to the conclusion Goodyear Asym 5 is probably the best option. Even better i had an offer from a tyre provider, for Asym 6. Wow ! From the first, i can only say what a good tyre Asym 6 is. Very low noise, very comfortable, and very good grip. For sure asym 6 will be on my car every time.

bmw F31 318 d 150 hp 225 50 R17 the tire dealer replaced me the winter tires with a new set of summer tires, bridgestone power sport. the immediate sensation was of a very performing tire when cornering on dry and wet roads but excessively soft in the rubber mix, with excessive roll, high noise already at 60 km / h, high fuel , consumption not at all comfortable. the car became heavy and slow, it felt like driving a bmw 316. These sensations continued from the first moment for the next 2000 km. Tired and frustrated by this situation I have decided to change them. having read your professional reviews and some users on this blog. I chose the new goodyear eagle F1 asymmetric 6. The car has completely changed, driving has returned to being quiet, pleasant and with excellent comfort. the feeling of safety is excellent, the roll and excessive grip have disappeared. the bridgestones look like a thermic winter tire with the design of a summer tire. a bad project to be honest. goodyear with the new eagle F1 6 seems to have found the ideal compromise between sporty performance and driving comfort. exceptional.

Goodyear Asymmetric 6 are new breed of performance tyres for me. I have no prior experience with Asymmetric 5 or any earlier models. Dry grip excellent, wet grip great, tyres are incredibly responsive, doesn't back out of tight corners and roll so silently that i hear more engine purring than tyres rotating on asphalt (and that is with a diesel car with engine noise insulation!). Tyres are a bit rough as they keep finding "rails" in car lanes, meaning that i can't let my eyes go shut for a second if i don't want to lose control of the car but that just proves how responsive the tyres are in the first place and i love it. Tyrewear will have to wait as i need to drive atleast 30 000 kilometers with them first. Great tyres for fun active driving, annoying for passive point A to B and maybe C driving. Will buy them again if there are no other versatile all-round performance tyres like Asymmetric 6.

A very grippy tyre both in dry and wet. The steering feel is great with nice oversteer in dry. Low roll resistance too. Some weaknesses in aquaplaning. Very noisy tyre when the road surface is not totally smooth.

I purchased my 5 series with budget tyres on them and cannot believe the difference these tyres have made. The car felt vague in all departments and now is extremely sure footed and dynamic. Completely transformed my driving experience and couldn’t be happier

Having switched from Michelin Primacy 3 to these I was absolutely astonished with the difference, the car felt much more in control of itself, and drove where I wanted it to go, not where the tyres thought I should. Handling was a revelation. Primacy came with the car, but I never really had any confidence in them, and a surprise was their love of white lining. The Asymmetric 6 are a revelation, dry and wet braking are excellent, I have no problems with handling, even my wife has noticed a huge difference when she drives. Comfort level and noise so much improved over the last set. This is an initial review, done only 500 miles, but what a massive difference we can actually enjoy driving the car.

I tested this tyre both on dry and wet surface. Dry grip is amazing, my car feels very sporty on these tyres. On wet, car is so steady and it feels like you are driving on dry road. Amazing tyre. We'll see about wear, because I just fitted this tyre 2 weeks ago.

Changed from OE Bridgestone Potenza S001 to Goodyear Asymmetric 6 (205/45R17). Transformed my Mazda MX5ND handling and steeringfeel for the better. It feels very predictable and progresive on the limit. (When the Bridgestone's lost its rearwheel grip it was often sudden and not progresive enough). The Goodyears is also less noisy and more comfortable. I am very happy with these tyres and think it is oustanding value for ones money. Other tyres I looked at was Michelin Pilot Sport 4 and Continental Premium Contact 6.
