Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 5 rated 83% while driving a Mazda 6 GH 2.5
Driving on mostly country roads for 16500 spirited miles
Driving on mostly country roads for 16500 spirited miles
I had them for 2 summer seassons.. About 27000km. Last 2000km big decreased wet grip - during light rain I got little rear slide in 80km/h - I don't belive them in wet anymore, and little bit decreased dry grip. Hankook H750 (allweather) works now much better. I was expecting at least 3 seassons and 35-40tkm using. Now tyre corners are out, center have about 3mm. I don't know if next tyre will be Asymmetric 6 or Bridgestone Potenza Sport... Really don't know

Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6 rated 71% while driving a Audi A6 3.0 TDI Quattro

I'm going to compare these tires to the ones i have on my other car, Sava Intensa UHP 2 on an E class coupe. The previous tires on the Audi were the Goodyear Eagle f1 Super Sport. I don't drive aggressively so i can't really speak about the grip, but i haven't broken traction yet (its the quattro though). They are virtually identical to the SS in terms on grip but in handling, the sidewall is softer on the 6 which makes it more comfortable, but more prone to understeer. The car is comfortable on its own but with these tires it makes really smooth. But, the wear, especially on the front left side - is terrible. It has already shown signs of degradation. On the other three tires, it is decent.
But, the Sava Intensa UHP 2 on the e class is probably the same tire in terms of performance and its 60% less expensive. Also, the Goodyear is made in Slovenia and the Sava is made in Germany, weird. The attributes I value the most is comfort (which the Sava also has) and handling but you can't have both with tires. I really can't recommend this tire since there are ones that do nearly the same for much less. Also, if it is some testament for the quality of Slovenian and German manufacturing, the sidewall of the Sava is much more resilient of dust and the rubber is in a much better condition whereas the Goodyear's sidewall is very dry and when there is no dressing it is brown in color.

Just had my 2nd set of Michelin Pilot Sport 4 fitted To my BMW X1 as i was very impressed with outstanding rim protection.
However my new set has 3mm ( 1/4" ) less
rim protection which is very visible, I've emailed Michelin and sent photos of both sets of tyres and requested an explanation
however they have replied to say that they won't reply to my email, i shall choose another brand in future.

Bridgestone Potenza S001 rated 46% while driving a Lexus IS300h

Fitted to a company car so have no choice but to use them. I do about 30k a year and have found these tyres to be underwhelming at best. Tyre wear is poor for a car that does most of its miles on the motorway, often needing new ones at only 15k, my Jaguar XF fitted with Dunlop's would do 30k in a heavier more powerful car. Dry grip is OK as long as its warmish, wet / cold grip is very poor. The tyre feels OK but its hard to tell as the car, Lexus IS300h, is not a sporty drive but is very comfortable which I think effects the ride more than the tyres. Overall would not put these on if the car was mine.

Excellent wet grip. Because of these tyres i won two timeattack events this season in wet. Also good in dry but overheats quickly.

After 2 years and 3,500 miles the outside sidewalls of all 4 tyres began cracking and crazing on contacting Bridgestone I was given numerous "excuses" including u/v light,tyre dressing,short journeys and road contaminants in my reply I had to asked the technician why he had not including Covid and Climate Change amongst these comical excuses. I have previously run Bridgestone on my last 2 cars,both purchased from new, and not had any complaints but will now fit my car with Dunlop Maxx ,which were on the car when purchased from new and were good for 20k, something I regret not doing in the first place but I had always preferred Bridgestone until now.I can only add that the response and service I received from Bridgestone regarding the matter was pathetic and definitely not what I expected from a company of this stature!

I've driven my GY ASYM6 for more than 7k km now and I can say fullhearted that it saved me more than once due to its superior handling and breaking power. No squeaking, no ABS taking control, no heart in your guts, just tons of grip both in wet and dry conditions. However, this shouldn't come as a surprise considering the premium badge. On the down side, the noise is somewhat obvious, especially considering my frameless doors.
Continental Sport Contact 6 rated 74% while driving a Volkswagen Golf R estate

I don’t know how people are getting under 20,000km on sport contact 6 you must be flogging your cars everywhere. I run these on a 2019 golf R wagon and I’m getting minimum 35,000km if I really take it easy I’ll get 40-45 thousand Km. These are a great tyre they may not perform AS well as Michelin pilot sport or other high performance tyres but they have great durability.
Got PZ4 RFT on a new M340i LCI. It's love-hate relationship so far. Above average in the dry, but lacking grip at the limit. Very poor in the wet, car is tail happy even at low speeds. Comfort is fine, not very noisy.
They are ok, but my previous PS4 (not S) were more linear and predictable in all situations, especially in the wet and cold. Could drive them at 2 degrees C with no problem at all.
