Data updated
Which should you buy?
Choose Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6 if you prioritize maximum on-road grip, sporty steering, and shortest stops in wet and dry. Choose Pirelli Scorpion if you want refined SUV comfort, quieter cruising, better fuel efficiency, and occasional light off-road traction with secure aquaplaning resistance.
Where the Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6 is stronger
- Consistently strong wet and dry handling and lap speed (wins most handling categories)
- Short braking distances on both wet and dry surfaces
- Very good lateral wet grip (wet circle wins across tests)
Where the Scorpion is stronger
- Excellent steering precision, stability, and subjective road feel (test win on balance)
- Lower rolling resistance and generally quieter, more comfortable ride
- Better straight-line aquaplaning and strong braking in some tests

Wins count every measurement the shared tests recorded for both tyres; a tick marks the tyre ahead on that line. Subjective driver scores count as wins but are never averaged, because each test uses its own scale.
Head to head in 4 tests, 2024 to 2025
Each row is one published test in which both tyres ran on the same car, in the same size, on the same day. The line is the whole field, winner on the left.

Point at or tap any spoke for both tyres' figures.
In each test the better of the two figures counts as 100% and the other as its share of it, so a 36 m stop against 34.2 m is 95%; each spoke averages the shared tests that recorded it. The scale stops at 95%: a point further in sits on the hub's edge, hollow. 6 measurements recorded in only one shared test are left off; every measurement is in the table further down.

Braking distances and lap times are better when lower; speeds, wear and grip figures when higher. A test's figures are its own: sizes, cars, surfaces and temperatures differ from one to the next, which is why the averages here are only ever of tests the two tyres shared. "Scored" rows are subjective driver ratings: each test uses its own scale, so only the wins are counted.

Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6
- 86%from 228 reviews
- 83%would buy again
- 1,941,005 milesdriven by reviewers
Owners rate the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6 highly overall (84.8% average), most consistently praising its strong dry and wet grip, with many also noting reassuring handling. Around half of reviewers who mention it say it's noticeably quieter than what they replaced, and comfort is commonly described as a step up for a UHP tyre. Longevity is the main talking point: tread life feedback is genuinely split, with a similar number reporting strong mileage as those seeing faster wear. A smaller but recurring complaint is a softer, less supported feel (and occasional extra noise on coarse surfaces) for drivers wanting a firmer, more precise response.
- Excellent dry grip with lots of confidence
- Very strong wet grip for a summer UHP tyre
- Lower road noise than many rivals and OEM fitments
- Comfortable ride for everyday use
- Tread life is inconsistent: some see great mileage, others rapid wear
- Can be noisy on rough or coarse asphalt for a noticeable minority
- Soft sidewall feel can reduce precision and make responses feel less supported
Summarised by AI from 204 vetted reviews; the reviews themselves are on the tyre page.
All 228 Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6 reviewsFirstly I'd like to correct/add to something I said in a review about the Mich PS4 where I mentioned the Asy 6s didn't seem to be doing much better. It seems the last bit of tread in the Asy 6s last much longer!, going from 3mm @12.6k to 1.7mm (a bit close!) @21k, so they last much longer than the PS4 tyres on the rear! (The PS4 tyres only lasted 13.2k miles!!).
For a BMW 330d 2010.
Pirelli Scorpion

All 5 Scorpion reviewsFirstly, these are great tires with excellent grip, making them a solid upgrade from my old PremiumContact 6s. Secondly, they make a noticeable howling noise at low speeds up to 60 km/h. I expected less noise from premium tires, but they probably just need a bit more breaking in.

Reading the results
Written from the test results and owner reviews above. It is analysis, not a measurement: where it and the tables disagree, the tables are right.
This comparison pits two excellent but differently focused summer tyres against each other: the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6, a max-performance car tyre frequently tested in SUV sizes, and the Pirelli Scorpion, a premium touring SUV tyre. Across four recent SUV-fitment tests, both have taken overall wins, underscoring how close the fight is despite their distinct design briefs.
Expect the Goodyear to lean into sharp, sporty responses and consistently short wet and dry stopping distances, while the Pirelli prioritizes precision, stability, comfort, and efficiency typical of a touring SUV tyre. The data shows Goodyear edging dynamic grip and handling in most asphalt metrics, with Pirelli countering through superb steering feel, aquaplaning resistance, comfort/noise, and notably lower rolling resistance.
Conclusion
Across multiple tests, the Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6 proves the more athletic all-rounder on tarmac, repeatedly topping dry and wet handling, wet circle, and braking, and twice taking overall victory. It's the tyre for drivers who value crisp steering, short stops, and confidence at speed, especially in heavy rain where its aquaplaning reserves often remain competitive or class-leading.
The Scorpion, however, won two tests on the strength of its SUV-centric tuning: excellent steering precision and stability, top comfort and low noise, better rolling resistance, and stronger traction on loose surfaces (grass/mud/sand). It occasionally out-brakes the Goodyear and resists straight-line aquaplaning well, making it a serene, efficient choice for daily SUV use. In short: Goodyear for maximum on-road grip and sporty feel; Pirelli for refined SUV manners, efficiency, and light off-road capability.

Where this data comes from
Finishing positions and measurements are transcribed from each published test. A test only counts here when both tyres ran in it, so every figure was recorded on the same car, size and day as the one it is compared to.
About the TR Score
The Tyre Reviews Score rates each tyre out of 10 from every independent test result and vetted owner review we hold, so two tyres can be compared even before a test has run them together.
Who does the testing
Every test published as a Tyre Reviews test is run by Jonathan Benson, who has been testing tyres independently since 2007.
