When deciding on which tyre to buy, you will want to compare the Maxxis Victra Sport 5 and Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6. These are both ultra-high-performance (UHP) summer tyres with many features to consider.
The Maxxis Victra Sport 5 tyre, manufactured in China, scored a 69% rating on our test. It offers strong performances in wet handling and cornering, but has few features that really set it apart. Most tests place the Maxxis in a mid-range position, typically sixth to ninth place out of ten or eleven participating tyres. Its strengths in wet circle cornering and handling seem consistent, but critique summaries also acknowledge a delayed response on dry tracks and weak dry corner precision.
The Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6, in contrast, is the sixth iteration of the popular Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric tyre. Unlike its predecessor Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 5 and 3, the Asymmetric 6 model not only manufactured in Germany, but also achieve a perfect rating of 100% in our test. This tyre dominates in most features of the test, including dry braking, handling, lane changing, steering response, wet handling and reduced exterior noise. It consistently ranks first or second in tests, showcasing its superior performance. Significant features include excellent mileage, value for money and comfort. Critiques revealed some weakness in aquaplaning protection, but rave reviews for all other features.
The Maxxis Victra Sport 5 and the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6 are both solid choices for a summer tyre, but the Goodyear model clearly emerges as the superior choice in tests. Its minor weaknesses are easily overshadowed by its comprehensive strengths, rendering it the better overall tyre.
The comparison of these two tyres reveals a stark difference in performance. If you are looking for a reliable and high-performing tyre that can handle both dry and wet road surfaces with relative ease, then the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6 is the clear choice. For those looking for a more budget-friendly option, the Maxxis Victra Sport 5 provides decent performance at a more affordable price point.
