According to our ratings, the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6 outperforms the Kumho Ecsta PS71 with a perfect 100% rating as opposed to the latter's 68% rating.
The Kumho Ecsta PS71 performs best in conditions like Aquaplaning - longitudal, according to the ACE tests. However, its relative performance was less impressive ranking 7th out of 10 tyres in test, and 12th in Autobild’s 50-tyre test. Another weakness identified in the ACE 2023 summary was its heightened driving noise. Despite this, the tyre still demonstrates a balanced high-performance potential, good handling qualities, and fair pricing, making it an overall decent choice.
On the other hand, the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6, successor of the GoodYear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 5 and Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 3, delivers impressively. The tyre ranked 1st in the ACE test and 2nd in the Autobild test among 50 competitors. Its top features as highlighted in the Autobild and ACE tests include dry braking, dry handling, external noise reduction, wet braking, and wet handling, among others. The Autobild 2023 summary highlighted this tyre's spectacular performance on both wet and dry tracks, remarkable mileage, and moderate price-point. The tyre doesn't appear to have any major drawbacks.
In conclusion, although both tyres deliver substantial performance, the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6 clearly outranks the Kumho Ecsta PS71 in terms of overall performance and quality. The Goodyear tyre is definitely worth considering if you're looking for an excellent summer tyre providing high-end performance on both dry and wet tracks while offering good value for money. The Kumho Ecsta PS71, however, is still a decent choice offering balanced performance at a fair price-point, despite its relative weakness in driving noise.
