The two tyres under review, Michelin Pilot Sport 5 and Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6, are top class products by Michelin and Goodyear respectively.

The Michelin Pilot Sport 5, a descendent of the Michelin Pilot Sport 4 and 3, is known for its ultra-high performance (UUHP) during summer. Our review gives it an excellent rating of 97% with clear strengths in mileage, wet braking, and aquaplaning performance according to Autobild's test. In Autozeitung's test, it scored a 5th position out of 9 with good performance in wet circle cornering. It also exhibited balanced performance across various conditions offering good steering and a progressive understeer balance, according to TyreReviews.com.

Nonetheless, it seems to have slight weaknesses in aquaplaning behaviour and could benefit from more grip in wet conditions. It's also noted for its premium price, despite its pronounced durability.

On the other hand, the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6, the successor of Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 5 and 3, is a summer tyre manufactured in Germany. Proclaimed for its ultra-high performance (UHP), it received a perfect rating of 100%. In the Autobild's test, this tyre proudly took the 2nd place out of 50 with best features like comfort, dry handling, mileage, and a favourable price-value ratio. In Ace's test, it scored the 1st position out of 10, demonstrating excellent performance in wet and dry handling, braking, and low exterior noise.

According to the data from TyreReviews.com, the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6 showed versatile performance, blending safe understeer balance with sporty handling. It is also particularly praised for its high wear resistance. Minimal issues raised was a slightly reduced heat resistance on track. Nevertheless, its versatility combined with affordability makes it top of its class.

Verdict: In direct comparison, the Michelin Pilot Sport 5 and Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6 show excellent performances in their respective segments, each with their strengths and minor weaknesses. While Michelin Pilot Sport 5 excels in durability and wet conditions, Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6 shines with its versatility, great comfort, and impressive value for money.
