Data updated
Which should you buy?
Choose the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6 if you want the most dependable wet-cornering confidence, lower noise, better efficiency and significantly longer tread life-especially for mixed weather, higher-mileage driving, or heavier vehicles/SUV fitments. Choose the Giti GitiSport S2 plus if your priority is maximum braking performance-per-dollar in common 245/45 R19-type fitments and you're willing to accept more variability in wet-limit behaviour and a shorter projected lifespan.
Where the Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6 is stronger
- More consistent high overall rankings: 2nd/20 in AutoBild and 4th/9 in the SUV test, indicating broader capability across categories
- Wet safety and lateral control advantages: much shorter SUV wet braking (53.4 m vs 60.1 m) plus better wet handling (87.8 vs 83.8 km/h) and wet circle performance
- Ownership/efficiency strengths: lower rolling resistance (7.24 vs 7.68 kg/t; 8.33 vs 8.99 kg/t) and class-leading projected wear in AutoBild (63,830 km)

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 3 tests in 2026
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.

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.

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.
Giti's GitiSport S2 plus and Goodyear's Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6 sit in the same “max-performance summer” bracket on paper, but the shared test data shows they achieve performance in very different ways. Across three professional comparisons (including a large AutoBild group test and an SUV-focused 255/45 R19 test), Goodyear comes across as the more complete, premium-style all-rounder-especially when you factor in comfort, efficiency and wear.
The interesting twist is that Giti isn't simply “the cheaper, worse option.” In the 245/45 R19 braking-focused testing, the GitiSport S2 plus repeatedly posts very competitive stopping distances, even edging the Goodyear by small margins in both dry and wet braking. The real separation happens once you look beyond straight-line braking into wet cornering stability, aquaplaning behaviour, refinement and long-run ownership costs-areas where the Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6 builds a clearer advantage.
Conclusion
Taken across the three shared tests, the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6 is the safer and more rounded choice for most drivers. It consistently ranks higher overall (4th/9 in the SUV test and 2nd/20 in AutoBild), brings strong wet dynamics (e.g., SUV test wet braking 53.4 m vs 60.1 m for Giti-an ~11% gap), quieter running (67.0 dB vs 71.7 dB in the SUV test), and notably better efficiency (rolling resistance 7.24 vs 7.68 kg/t; 8.33 vs 8.99 kg/t). Add in the huge wear advantage in AutoBild (63,830 km vs 50,020 km, +27.6%), and its “premium” positioning is justified in real ownership terms.
The Giti GitiSport S2 plus is best understood as a value-driven performance tyre that can deliver impressive braking for the money in certain conditions and sizes-AutoBild and the 52-tyre braking test both show it slightly ahead in dry braking (34.3 m vs 34.5 m) and also narrowly ahead in wet braking in those datasets (e.g., 27.2 m vs 27.5 m). However, results are more size/test dependent, and the SUV test highlights the risk: earlier loss of grip in the wet, limited reserves, and a large wet braking deficit. The practical takeaway is simple: if you want consistent wet-cornering confidence, lower noise, lower energy use, and longer tread life, the Goodyear is the better bet; if your priority is maximum performance-per-dollar and your driving is less demanding in heavy rain, the Giti can be a compelling alternative-but it's less universally reassuring.

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.
