Performance Analysis
Drawn from 10 tests. Updated November 16, 2025.
Across 10 tests, the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric delivers consistently strong wet-weather capability and balanced overall performance, averaging a 4.6 position with multiple podiums. It frequently excels in wet handling and grip, translating to high placements in mixed-condition evaluations.
However, results vary more in dry-focused tests, including one last-place finish when the assessment weighted dry grip and dry lap time heavily. Rolling resistance and noise are also noted drawbacks in at least one test cycle, indicating efficiency and refinement trade-offs versus class leaders.

2011 Autoreview Max Performance Summer Tyre Test
Despite being a fairly old tyre (the Asymmetric 2 is now launched) the F1 Asymmetric still places a strong 4th thanks to its excellent wet weather grip and handling coupled with a comfortable ride. Unfortunately the F1 Asymmetric was let down by its "floaty" dry handling, something which has been resolved in the new version
