The GT Radial Sport Active 2 and the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6 are both summer tyres designed to perform excellently in dry and wet conditions, offering advanced performance features. However, when compared head-to-head, these tyres have some specific traits which stand out.
The GT Radial Sport Active 2 is made by GT Radial and has an overall rating of 44% on our site. It fares reasonably in tests, securing the 15th position out of 50 tyres in the AutoBild test and the 10th place in the AutoMotorSport test. It earns some high praise for its good aquaplaning qualities, safe dry and wet handling, and good value for the price. But it seemingly falls short in terms of side guidance on wet surfaces and faced criticism for its longer braking distances both on wet and dry asphalt.

On the other hand, the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6, made by Goodyear, is a premium tyre designed with a focus on high performance and reliability. It follows up on the well-received Eagle F1 Asymmetric 3 and 5 and boasts the highest rating of 100% on our site. Featuring prominently in two important tests, it has secured the 2nd position out of 50 in the AutoBild test and the top position in the AutoMotorSport test. It shines with its impressive performance on both dry and wet surfaces, short braking distances, and superior mileage. Yet, it encountered some criticisms for its aquaplaning protection.
Strengths of Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6:
- Excellent Wet and Dry Handling
- Short Braking Distances
- Superior Mileage
- Dynamic and Easy to Control
Weaknesses of Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6:
