When it comes to tyre comparison, the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6 and Bridgestone Potenza Sport are of the high performance spectrum. Both models have proven strengths and slight weaknesses, drawing from numerous tests conducted.
The Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6 is an exceptional premium tyre. It is manufactured in Germany, received 100% rating and is specifically designed for summer use. This Goodyear tyre repeatedly showcased its versatility and superb performance in tests, where it led in dry braking, dry handling, wet handling and comfort. Notably, the Asymmetric 6 clinched the number one spot in the Autobild and ACE tests, performing impressively on every surface.
However, one slight downside pinpointed is its heat resistance when on track, which seems to have dropped compared to its predecessor, the Asymmetric 5. Overall, this Goodyear model is a solid all-round choice for summer driving.
On the other hand, the Bridgestone Potenza Sport gave a commendable performance in the tests. Manufactured in both Poland and Hungary, it scored an 89% rating. This Bridgestone tyre excelled in areas such as dry braking, dry handling, and wet handling. It showed a consistently sporty feel and significant grip, particularly in wet conditions. The Potenza Sport also proved its mettle in offroad capabilities, boasting of impressive handling and precise steering.
However, its high rolling resistance and wear rate on demanding circuits were noticeable weaknesses. It also struggled somewhat in deep water aquaplaning tests, and its cost per kilometre was deemed to be the highest among the comparison group, bringing into question its value proposition.
Overall, the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6 outperformed the Bridgestone Potenza Sport in most of the tests. However, the latter's performance shouldn't be underestimated, as it has its unique strengths and offers a reliable summer driving experience. Whatever the choice, both tyres represent the top-tier offerings of their respective Goodyear and Bridgestone manufacturers and are likely to satisfy the needs of most drivers.
