If you're in search of a new set of tyres for your vehicle, we have compared two popular options: the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6 and the Michelin Pilot Sport 5. These models represent the latest offerings from Goodyear and Michelin, respectively.
Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6
The Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6, manufactured in Germany, is the latest addition in the line following the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 5 and 3. In multiple detailed tests, this tyre claimed the second and first positions in the Autobild and ACE tests, respectively. Its best features include superior wet and dry handling, great comfort, excellent mileage, and remarkable exterior noise mitigation. This tyre's overall performance and its value for money were highly ranked by Autobild. The tyre's largest area for improvement is its lack of heat resistance during track usage.
Michelin Pilot Sport 5
The Michelin Pilot Sport 5, on the other hand, is the updated version that follows the Michelin Pilot Sport 4 and 3. It performed notably well in the tests conducted by TyreReviews.com 2023, Autobild, and ACE, with best features standing out as reliable aquaplaning - cross, wear, and wet circle cornering. Its notable durability and consistent performance across various conditions have been reported as noteworthy strengths. However, the tyre's higher price point and lacking grip in wet conditions were noted as weaknesses.
Comparison Verdict
Pitted head-to-head, the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6 outperformed the Michelin Pilot Sport 5 in multiple tests, with top positions in both Autobild and ACE. Preferred for its versatile blend of safe understeer balance and sporty handling, low wear, and superior comfort, it proved to be an excellent all-around choice.
The Michelin Pilot Sport 5, while generally more expensive, impressed with its tread life, eco impact, and steering consistency. However, it would benefit from increased grip, especially in wet conditions based on the tests.
In conclusion, both the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6 and the Michelin Pilot Sport 5 are strong contenders in their respective categories. However, Goodyear's winning positions in various tests suggest it to be the overall superior choice between the two.
