Performance Analysis

Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 3 - Official Image

Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 3 delivers a broadly balanced summer performance with frequent top-tier finishes early in its lifecycle and solid efficiency. Across 21 summer tests it averages a competitive 4.5th, including multiple podiums and wins (Sport Auto 2016: 1/8; Test World 2016: 3/13 with best wet braking; Auto Bild SUV 2017: 1/10; several 2nd places). Its recurring strengths are short dry stops, stable wet handling, and class-leading or near-class-leading rolling resistance. However, against newer rivals it trends mid-pack in later tests and shows recurring weaknesses in wet braking relative to the very best, plus average-to-poor subjective comfort/noise. As a reference summer tyre in the 2024 Sport Auto all-season test it dominated dry metrics but was understandably poor on snow and weak in wet braking versus all-season peers.

Patterns show: consistently strong dry braking, competitive wet handling/aquaplaning resistance, and excellent efficiency; offset by intermittent wet braking deficits and middling subjective handling/comfort. Awards and podium density support an above-average overall standing for a previous-generation UHP tyre.

Performance Strengths

Dry Performance Strong
• 1st place dry braking and dry handling in 2024 Sport Auto All Season reference test (35.3 m; 101.2 km/h)
• Dry braking top results across summer tests: 2nd/9 in 2017 Auto Bild (36.1 m, +0.8% from best); strong placements in multiple 2017/2018 tests
Wet Handling & Aquaplaning Moderate
• 2nd/6 wet handling in 2018 EVO (+0.2% from best) and 1st in subjective wet handling
• Strong aquaplaning: 2nd/8 straight and curved in 2024 Sport Auto reference (+2.3% and +1.5% from best)
Rolling Resistance / Efficiency Strong
• 1st/9 rolling resistance in 2017 Auto Bild (8.39 kg/t)
• 2nd/6 rolling resistance in 2018 EVO (+0.5% from best); praised in 2016 GTU for excellent RR
Overall Balance / Awards Strong
• 1st/10 overall in 2017 Auto Bild Summer SUV Test
• Podiums: 2/14 in 2016 GTU, 1/8 in 2016 Sport Auto, 3/13 in 2016 Test World, 2/9 in 2016 EVO, 2/10 in 2017 Sport Auto UHP/Track

Performance Weaknesses

Wet Braking Strong
• 8th/11 in 2018 AMS (+11.3% from best)
• 7th/9 in 2017 EVO (+8.4% from best); multiple mid-pack results in 2017-2018 tests
Subjective Comfort/Noise Moderate
• 3rd/3 comfort and noise in 2019 comparison (+20% comfort gap; +2.2 dB)
• Noise 9th/11 in 2018 AMS (+2%)
Dry Handling Consistency vs Rivals Moderate
• 3rd/3 dry handling in 2019 comparison (+2.4%); 7th/9 dry handling in 2017 EVO (+1.5%)
• Mid-pack dry handling placements in several 2017-2018 tests despite strong braking
Winter/Snow Capability (as summer reference) Minor
• 2024 Sport Auto All Season: last in snow braking/traction/handling (+71-117% from best) as expected for a summer tyre
• Not scored overall; context limits applicability but highlights seasonal limitation
