Very good tire in dry and wet but the characteristic point is very quiet!
What owners say summarised from 204 reviews
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.

Very good tire in dry and wet but the characteristic point is very quiet!
I changed to those tires after using Michelin Primacy 4. To be honest Goodyear Asymmetric 6 are ok to drive (dry and wet) but comfort is low. I noticed in two cars (mine seat and parents T-Roc) that around 40-50km/h they start to whine and next this sound become constant noise. In my city we have very good roads but in many occasions the surface is porous by design on smooth one they are whisper quiet. This sound around 40-50 was so makes me worry that i suspect wheel bearings or even transmission failure.
To be honest those tires are no the best for me. I was looking for comfort ride. Maybe for some one who looking for more sport felling they will be perfect but comfort is not their strong side.
excellent tyre long lasting not a lot of difference from new to fairly worn from grip point of view but have been caught out once with these tyres aquaplaning
on very wet B road going fairly fast.my previs tyres where hankook which where good but went terrible when down to 3mm no such thing with good year
i have now had Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6 on 2 cars and can highly recommend them also have had Asymmetric 3 and 5 but run car on
Continental AllSeasonContact 2 in winter also excellent but maybe change to Goodyear Vector All Season 4 for new car if it become available when i am ready for new boots.

Size: 225/40 R19 (Front) / 255/35 R19 (Rear) - Staggered set-up.
Usage: Daily driving on rough, potholed Cornish A-roads (~15,500 miles covered)
Grip & Safety (5/5): Absolutely brilliant year-round. Never had a single dicey moment in the wet or dry, even through standing water on coastal roads and greasy tarmac.
Comfort & Noise (4/5): Moving away from run-flats made a huge difference over potholes. They take the harsh edge off bad road surfaces, and cabin noise is perfectly fine.
Handling (3/5): The only real weak spot. While fine for cruising, they feel a bit uninspiring on twisty stretches. Above 45 mph in tighter bends, the softer sidewalls make the car feel a bit unsettled mid-corner.
Bottom Line: A rock-solid, super safe daily tyre for terrible road surfaces, but lacks that razor-sharp feel if you like pushing it through the turns.
Rating: 4/5
My daily drive is a BMW G21 320D M Sport.
Audi Q3 sportback driver here. I've used mainly the Pirellis PZ4, Continental CPC6 and most recently (due to costs) Giti S2.
Just changed to these from the Giti..wow! Big difference. Ok, maybe small differences but to tyre enthusiasts, small=big correct? Initial impressions: Traction way better, the take off and braking...very obvious. The response is so quick, so natural and grip so confident (esp during corners). Indeed v impressive. I was surprised that the steering felt lighter, more responsive...and more surprisingly, it's very quiet and refined esp at high speeds. When coasting it just glides...when braking it responds very well, quick and predictable. Wished I had them on earlier, driving is suddenly more pleasurably, reassuring and makes me calmer (crazy, but true). Get them ASAP!
Used on my 2011 2.0L LSD MX-5. Stock size is 205 vs 215 that I bought. These have limitless grip, most notably in the wet.
The wet cornering is seriously incredible, they are so safe and allow silly driving without effort.
They handle beautifully neutrally with less understeer and lovely braking lift-off oversteer. The steering feel is alive and connected. The feeling of the sidewall flex comes across wonderfully. Grip levels are very easy to feel and braking is absolutely IMMENSE. I can thrash my car everywhere and still react to deer running out with zero warning - IN THE WET!
These are quieter than Michelin Primacy 3s the car came with, and no more harsh. They do feel slightly firmer but not in an uncomfortable way. The sound they make isn't particularly annoying either, but they aren't super quiet. They seem to last 25-30,000 miles with constant spirited driving in all conditions (including the odd sideways corner!) and are actually "OK" for fuel efficiency. Very little compromise for these.
I love them, I can't wait to see if they release an Asymmetric 7 one day as I can't imagine having MORE grip or somehow them being more comfy or having better feel. If the rain handling was any better, wet vs dry wouldn't even matter most days. I have been through two sets of these in a couple years as I drive a lot every day.
Do yourself a favour, buy these for your daily car! So much fun.
For a UHP Segment product, it is very comfortable for daily drives, last pretty long for being a "Sporty" product.
Its also very quiet and has a decent rolling resistance compared to the the P7s that I had before
Wet grip and dry grip is outstanding, however aquaplaning resistance falls a little short. Nothing too dangerous but good to keep in mind during highspeed motorway drives in the wet.
Performance held consistent between new to worn in the dry. Grip was still strong in both dry and wet. Braking distance is much longer when worn compared to new.
Overall, the F1A6 is a strong contender in it's segment and provides good level of comfort and noise that makes it a joy for daily drives but still offer confidence for drivers that prefer a sporty drive
