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.
What owners mention most counted across 200 reviews
Literally the best tires I have ever fitted to the car- compared to Crossclimate 1 and kumho ps72. Driven for 2 years and around 15k miles they have around 3.5mm tread left. Driving style is very spirited, with a 40% highway driving of 140-160kmh, 25%mountainous roads and the rest is city with a lot of accelerations and stops. Dry grip is examplary- couldn't even get to their limit. You have to do something very stupid to loose the grip, even in 200bhp car. Wet handling is also fabulous. The tire was also driven during the cold months, due to the soft climate, but never in snow or ice. Can't comment on the comfort as the wind noise was always more than the tires one. These tires have seen a lot of potholes, but no damage has been observed. Will definitely buy again.
Good tyre overall, dry grip is top notch, handles hard braking and fast corners really well, wet grip is also really good, has good water dispersion on long but not too deep puddles tho i feel like it could a bit better on deeper ones. handles heat well on a 1.8ton suv and keeps really well the weight transfer, driven so far 15k km and its showing some signs of use but it's holding up really well.
Check out how the BEST all seasons tyres perform against premium summer and winter tyres!
I had them for 2 summer season before i sold my car. I had them on volvo c70, which i used a lot on highway, motorway, mountain roads etc.. I had a lot opportunities to take them to and a bit above limit. First of all, they are grippy even cold, but they like to be warmed up a bit. When they absorb just a bit of temperature they are like glue no meter if its dry or wet or very vet. In corners there are no surprises, they will let you know (you can feel) that you reached limit and even if you continue to push and they start to let go you still have control (u still have grip when you are sliding ). Amazing tyre, comparable to pirelli pz4 but better wear resistance. After two season of spirited driving i was left from 7mm to 5mm with wheel rotation. So wet grip is great, dry grip great, feedback is very good all in all i love this tyre!
Which tyres do you drive?
Researching the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6? Rate the tyres you actually drive - and help the next buyer choose.
Use them on a MX5 ND, amazing grip, especially in the wet, good feed near the limit, progress loss of grip so easy to push. Wear is ok but maybe not for someone doing high mileage.
I do like these tyres they are grippy in both wet and dry and have massive amounts of confidence in wet conditions, I've never felt unsafe with these tyres in the wet they are simply superb. They replaced Michelin PS5 that was just as good but wanted to try these out as I had seen positive reviews of it being great.
Wear rate seems to be ok I haven't seen a lot of wear after 3000 miles all 4 tyres are still 6.5-7mm tread depth.
Now here is the downside of these tyres they are absolutely horrible to drive on rough asphalt roads, they generate so much rumbling noise. I live in London where most of the speed limit is 20mph and they are dreadfully noisy on old rough asphalt at this speed. I thought that I had bad wheel bearings but as soon as I drive on newly laid road that is less than a year old they are so quiet.
Goodyear what have you done to these tyres I hade the assy 3 many years ago on my old mk7 GTI and they were fantastic and did not have any of this tyre noise.
I don't know maybe something has changed with these tyres as they are now rated for EV cars I wonder if they need higher tyre pressures, my mk7.5 golf R estate are rated for 38psi and this is the pressure I set on these initially, I had to lower it to 36psi to make the tyres less noisy but losing out on mpg.
I cant wait to get these tyres worn down so I can replace them.
Replaced the original Michelin Primacy 4's a few days after getting the car new and the Asymmetric 6's immediately felt sportier with more direct steering feel, less body roll and a tremendous amount of grip, particularly in the wet, making the drive safer and more confident in all conditions. At the same time, road noise inside the car went up a notch and the car felt a tad bouncier although I would still consider it comfortable and quiet. Wear level is good – 6mm tread left all round after 5000 gentle miles. Fuel consumption: managed 69.9 mpg from London to Cambridge (cold engine, no aircon or heating, around 20C). A great set of tyres!
Update after a couple days and travelling around 400+ miles in wet, dry weather.
WOW, the grip difference is crazy and the reduced road noise is very noticeable. MPG has also gone up slightly. Very happy with the Goodyear Eagle F1 ASY6's. I have a lot more confidence with the car's handling and the ride has gotten noticeably smoother. Overall extremely satisfied.
I had to replace the summer tires on my Fiesta ST this year. Before I had the Pilot Sport 4 from factory and was not really satisfied with them on my car. Grip was good, but comfort was not great and the car tended to hop when the wheels where spinning on high load in low gear. Also on some bad highways I had similar problems with a bit of "hopping".
So I decided to get the AS6s as replacement mostly because of the good reviews they got and also the lower cost compared to michelins. And wow what a difference! The car feels more planted now and on heavy accelleration and the "hopping" is completely gone. Also the fuel economy is a bit better now. The grip on dry B-roads feels very good and you can push really hard. The Steering feels a bit softer compared to the PS4 and the initial steering response is not as sharp but still ok for me. This could also be caused by the higher tread of the new tires compared to the worn out michelins. In wet conditon the tire also feels really good and allways safe. But I did not really test the limit there so far.
The tires also look good on my car and the rim protection is quite thick.
All in all I am pretty satisfied with the tires and you should definitly consider them if you drive a sporty lightweight car with a bit of power.
Excellent grip when new on dry and wet on street and track. Still very good at end of life at 15000km. Changed to these from Turanza T005 and the difference in grip, handling and feedback was monumental. They were also much more comfortble and quiet untill in their 3rd summer when they became louder inside the vehicle. Would have liked to get to end of this summer but I had several track days with them already and the last leg of 2000km spirited driving on mountains took the rubber out of them. Seems like the wear accelerates towards end of life and they become more noisy. Unfortunately I also had too much pressure for 1000-2000km or so in mid life which contributed to excess wear. The set costed me 375€ so I think it was excellent value for the driving enjoyment. Would be a waste to use these on a daily commuter as they would just wear more than non UHP's.
I purchased these ~1500miles ago. I had needed to replace sport contact 7’s that had worn out after 6 months of use. I have been please with the appearance, noise and sub limit grip and price on these tyres. They were ~£10 cheaper than a replacement set of continentals. As for sub limit grip they do have plenty of grip in the wet and dry.
Unfortunately when I compare them with the SC7’s I had I’ve grown to hate these tyres. They have nothing left on or over the limit. And when you do go over the limit the SC7’s would generate predictable oversteer the Goodyears just plow straight on. There’s also very little feel in the tyre at the limit, feels quite numb. Maybe they will have great life that will outweigh these negatives however I’d rather buy tyres a bit more frequently than have an almighty crash on a Scottish country road because my car stopped turning.
Tyres are on a Toyota Previa. These tyres have seriously good grip. Previously had used Michelin primacy 4STs and these were better in every department except wear. One year later and it is calling out to me to be replaced.
Must say I felt safe driving my MPV in both mundane city driving and some spirited driving in the countryside in the neighbouring country. Drives through rain almost like it's a dry road. Cornering feels nice, handling is good. Responsive to braking, especially when roads are wet. V slightly noisy but hey, it's a UHP tyre, it's bound to have some amount of noise. Make it last longer and I will happily buy it again.
I did a lot of research (thanks, Jonathan, for the great videos!) to decide which tyre would be the best fit. The car is a modified Subaru Impreza WRX STI running on coilovers. The tyres being replaced were Yokohama Advan Neova AD08Rs — stable and grippy, but with very stiff sidewalls that made the ride feel fidgety until they warmed up (virtually impossible in the winter), from a comfort perspective, they just weren’t ideal.
Yes, the car is meant to feel firm and sporty, but given the current state of the roads, I wanted something that still offered good grip and driving enjoyment, but with a significant improvement in comfort. Previously, the suspension couldn’t do its job properly because the tyres were transmitting every bump and imperfection straight into it, compromising the ride quality and ultimately grip and handling.
These new Goodyears have hit the mark perfectly — they’ve completely transformed how the car rides and drives. While they may not feel quite as sharp as the Advans at higher speeds, I’m now getting traction and compliance without sacrificing the fun of driving.
I've even recommended them to friends with other cars, like the Octavia vRS, and the feedback has been great — good wear, improved comfort, and happy drivers.
Thanks to Tyre Reviews, and thanks to Goodyear!

Good work with your research, I'm happy you found the right tyres. I'm a big fan of the Asymmetric 6 and the vRS combination too.
