I am a massive Goodyear fan. I had the Assym 3's on a previous car and never looked back.

I have now had the Eagle F1 Asymmetric 5's, Goodyear Eagle F1 Supersports, Michelin PS4 and even some Avon's (for a brief period) on my current car - a Golf GTI Clubsport 40.

I mix up my driving a lot - lots of motorway driving but also lots of hard street driving and B road blasts, I find it massively important to have the best tyres possible to allow me to push my car as hard as I can in a safe manner.

I was massively impressed with the Asymmetric 5's, the sheer grip and feedback were fantastic, along with being very safe in the wet. When my front tyres reached the end of their serviceable life after 11,000 miles, I was more than ready to get the newer Asymmetric 6's fitted on the front of my car.

I'm simply over the moon with them already. Having covered about 1,000 miles on them in very mixed driving conditions, they have blown me away. They offer *everything* I could ever want from a tyre. They are extremely grippy in the dry and wet, the feedback is great, the ride is very comfortable and the price is very reasonable for a top tier tyre. I drove home in heavy rain last night and I drove the car hard to see how the tyres would handle hard driving in the wet and they did not miss a beat. I was amazed how they put the power down on wet roads and the grip offered in corners. It actually felt like I was driving on a dry road. Incredible.

I had the Michelin PS4's a few years ago and I did not like them at all, they were too soft and struggled to keep up with my hard driving. I trialled the Eagle F1 Supersports when they first came out - they sound like the obvious choice for a sports hatchback - I found them excellent when warmed up on dry roads but they were nowhere near as confidence-inspiring in the rain and actually quite scary on wet roads. That's why I got the Assym 5's fitted after them and was very happy with my choice. And now I have the 6's I am even happier. These tyres are simply fantastic - stupid amounts of grip. I recommend them to everyone. The UK has such mixed weather that I think these just offer the best all round driving experience. They really, really suit the characteristics of the Mk7 Golf GTI. I got them when on offer - £183 for 2 fitted. An absolute steal. Get these tyres, you will not be disappointed. I will certainly be getting them again next time round.

I would NOT recommend the Asymmetric 6 if you're looking for a tire that will last for more than 1 year!

I bought 4 brand new A6 tires early this year replacing my old Michelin Primacy 3. Before buying them, I read up on multiple tests and reviews, and the A6 finished on top in most of them. Sure, the A6 has excellent handling, wet- and dry grip, so nothing to complain about there.
My issue is that the tires have terrible longevity.
I don't know what tread depth the tires have from the factory but I would assume they have at least 6 mm. Now, I drive very gently. No excessive accelerations, no heavy braking and I don't haul any heavy loads. I simply use the car to go to work every day back and forth. So when evaluating the wear after 8 months and about 8000 kilometers, the tread is down to 3 mm. This kind of wear was nothing that I expected from a renowned manufacturer such as Goodyear. Sure, some would argue that the A6 are categorized as sport tires with a softer rubber blend. But they are not pure sport tires. They are marketed as performance tires for premium cars, even compatible with EV's. (If you own a Tesla, you would probably need 4 new sets a year with the A6).

So if you're looking for tires that will last, together with equal or maybe even better performance metrics, then buy something else! I surly will go back to Michelin.

Amazing tyre, I replaced a Pirelli P7 run flats with these and although it is an unfair to compare them as they are totally different from one another, the difference is night and day. The comfort is now at a different level, the noise levels are significantly lower, the dry and wet grip are amazing too. It was between them and and the Michelin ps5 , but I’ve had the previous model asymmetric 5 and I really liked them, not to mention the price difference. Initial feel is good and I like them a lot , happy with the purchase . More to follow.

3rd Summer on these tires. Truth have to be said, this tire is a bit different than what I wanted and choose this over other tires, but i'm not regretting my purchase.
The tire still provides so much grip that my car can't use it to its full potential, dry grip is limitless, or at leas feels like it, the 7th Gen Celicas known to have a little understeer, but with this tire, my springs and shocks start to jump before the grip goes away, which means that the saying is true, best mod on any car is tire, with this tire, I don't feel the need to upgrade or modify my car any further, at least in summer conditions. On wet surface, I don't know how, but feels like the road is dry and we are back at square one, straight aqua planning is excellent, even with a car thats barely over a tonne. Because of the low weight, the tire wear is minimal if there is any, and I'm attacking corners and round abouts in at every possible chance. I cant afford cars with huge powers, so tire life was never a factor, my tires go away because of age mostly.
Bad news is, that the tires are still very loud, my car has zero insulation, and even the Blizzak winter tires are quieter in summer conditions than the Eagles, but I have to ad that they are very different in size as well 205/50/16 against 225/45/17, the sidewall is super stiff for this reason. Not fair, but have to say it.
My car have very direct steering feel, and this tire gives the ultimate road feel, I literally feel the small cracks on the road, however, sometimes this results in extreme tramlining effect. and we have very bad roads over here, and if its very bad, it can literally take the steering wheel out of your hand if you are not carefull and hold it like your life depends on it, this can be exhausting on longer trips, but again, this car encourages this more than any other reason. (however Blizzaks obviously eliminates this issue, so the tire is part of it)
I will probably buy this tire again for my new GR86 project car as well, if the need arises for a new summer tire.

TL;DR: A safe yet annoying to drive tyre.

Exact tyre label: 225/40R18 92Y XL FP "Made In Germany"
I'll start with the positive: these tyres feel very safe in almost all conditions, even in light winter conditions.
They also feel safe on wet roads, both on lightly damp roads and in deep standing water, with very good aquaplaning resistance.

The dry grip is quite enjoyable in summer conditions, they steer very light and easy, my steering wheel became lighter after mounting these tyres.

Now I have to address my negative experiences with these tyres:
I immediately heard more rolling noise compared to the Michelin PS4 that these tyres replaced, however the bump absorption and road feel is much better compared to PS4, they feel much softer.
On rough roads these Eagles sound like there's a window open, it's more of a heavy whooshing noise instead of a high pitch rolling noise.
Even Continental WinterContact TS850 P were much more comfortable and silent to drive on this car than the Eagle Asy6.

On wet roads and even on cold dry concrete roads the cornering traction is totally lacking, the tyre feels like it's locking up as soon as it looses a little grip and it takes away all your speed causing very jerky grip when trying to corner fast, you can really feel the compound of this tyre is not made for progressiveness during cornering.

Overall I'm extremely disappointed, they don't excel as a Touring tyre neither as a Performance tyre, it's hybrid tyre that only excels at safety only in my opinion.

Finally installed fresh UHP/Max performance tyres to tryout. Somewhat it was cheaper than efficientGrip Performance 2.
No wonder why Jonathan loves them - truly comfy, silent enough, darty and grippy.

I could not fully judge based on +4*C ambient temperature, but for first 10 km initially looked harsh and loud.
After 20 km the tire warmed up, became more silent and comfy, looks solid and expectations are high for true summer environment.
Oh, and that meaty rim protector looks awesome.

Follow up to an previous, early-impression, review. 5000 miles and a winter later.

Still very impressed with overall blend of characteristics in terms of performance and everyday comfort.

What's really surprised me was the grip levels over winter (northern England), especially on cold wet roads. Not sure it if it's the compound but it really didn't feel compromised when/where I expected it to - at the point I'd normally fit AS tyres. Obviously not in terms of any snow but just cold greasy roads.

Wear seems ok for what it is.

I Purchased a set of 4 for my Mercedes A250 AMG, used for 2 years approx and I can proudly say this tyre gets into the Top 5 easily alongside brands like Michelin, Bridgestone, Pirelli and Continental.
I would highly recommend whether you are driving a normal car or a sport car.
Really worth the money compared to the other brands!

Fitted these Goodyear Eagle Asymmetric 6 tyres to my Abarth 595 competizione before a trip to the Nurburgring after seeing some positive reviews and WOW what a tyre, got me there and back and performed excellently on track then spent the last 6000 miles with mostly spirited driving and these just grip brilliantly wet or dry, They are a little noisy but thats a tiny downside when you consider the performance you get from them.

I fitted a set of 4 225 50 17 94Y On a 2023 Audi A4 Avant after removing the original pirelli blue tyres that didn't ride smoothly. They are a great all-round tyre in dry and wet low road noise on most surfaces and good ride comfort after 20,000 miles I've rotated the tyres and think I could get another 10,000 miles as I've 5mm front and 3.7 mm rear I would recommend

Great on city streets when you need the tyres to be responsive even when cold. Great when warm on mountain roads and out of town, but they last 30,000 miles and then cracks appeared, one of them is losing air and I lost faith in them. I now drive sensibly and carefully to wear the tires while looking to change them.

Probably the best tyres I've ever had on my daily and they saved my life.

In the dry they offer decent feedback and good grip for minimal road noise, great for long journeys.
In the wet there was no aquaplaning if driving at sensible speeds for the road I was on.
They were very progressive at the limit and you would know when the front end was close to sliding when pushing it on (useful for Audi owners...).
Wear was very even across the tread, nearside shoulder was at 1.6 mm and the main body was approx. 2 mm.

On the life saving bit, I was doing 100 km/h and a van appeared over a blind crest on the wrong side of the road. I decelerated from 100 - 0, easily within the 33 metres claimed by magazines. I've put a new set on the car and won't have anything else on the daily going forward.

Been driving for many decades but last 10 years I used to buy Vredestein until their quality dropped, so tried a few other cars with different tyres, and saw the Goodyear Assy 5's were very good. The new version Assy 6's came out so decided to use on my previous car and the results were excellent. Now have on my Audi A4 Quattro and they are utterly superb, especially when you need them (emergency stuff and poor weather). I was worried about the wear after reading all the comments which I always research, but I find the wear excellent for application (sporty will wear more than touring etc). I strongly recommend these tyres which even impress my comrades with tyre-specific sports cars when I let them drive mine. Whatever the new methods of manufacture and materials, it works well on these.

I was initially interested in this tyre from the reviews both from our man, and from other sources. I was initially pleased by the comfort and the grip in general but surprised by a behavior I noticed only on this tyre: the load shift on a fast bend, especially if you touch the brakes, is so bad I need to correct on the steering, something that I never had to do on any other tyre on this car, both runflat and not. Makes it feel like the car’s suspension is suddenly perished, this at 2,2bar (front) and 2,3 bar (rear). Things got better by raising the pressure significantly, now it’s at 2,5/2,7 and the tyre feels much better, but still does that thing on fast bends, especially on a particular narrow bend downhill. I hate it and this alone would not make me choose this tyre again, it never happened with other brand and tyres and I had Conti Sport Contact 5, Falken (not UHP), Yokohama V105… i think it could be due to the rigidity of the sidewall, but go figure

Honesty,the most competent tyre in all aspects of driving dry or wet doesn't matter. I am also impressed in terms of wear. In the beginning I was a bit sceptical due to small initial tread depth and somehow heavy wear, but after 25.000 miles , 2 rotations and careful monitoring of pressures, all four tyres have 3.5 to 4 mm of tread depth.
This means that I can easily extract another 5 to 8 thousand miles ,having the same secure and occasionally sporty feeling out of them.
The only thing that is a little worse after the 2nd year of use is that they have become kind of hard over small imperfections of the road but that might also be because of suspension components wearing as well.
Price is also quite competitive here in Greece, so I will definitely buy them again.
