In this article we will be looking at independent tire test data, and real world driver reviews of the Firestone Firehawk Sport and the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6 to find out which tire is best for your own driving.
There are a few basic differences between the two tires. The Firestone Firehawk Sport is an Ultra-High-Performance Summer tire designed to be fitted to Passenger-Cars, and the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6 is an Max-Performance Summer tire designed to be fitted to Passenger-Cars
Independent comparison tire tests are the best source of data to get tire information from, and the good news is there have been six tests which compare both tires directly!
Out of these six tests:
While it might look like the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6 is better than the Firestone Firehawk Sport purely based on the higher number of test wins, tires are very complicated objects which means where one tire is better than the other can be more important in real world use.
Let's look at how the two tires compare across multiple tire test categories.

Looking for more tire comparisons? Here are other direct comparisons involving these tires:
This page has been developed using tire industry testing best practices. This means we are only comparing tests which have had both tires in the same test.
Why is this important? Tire testing is heavily affected by things like surface grip levels and surface temperature, which means you can only compare values from the same day. During a tire test external condition changes are calculated into the overall results, but it is not possible to calculate this between tire tests performed on different days or at different locations.
As a result you will see other tests on Tire Reviews which feature both the %s and %s, but as they weren't conducted on the same day, the results are not comparable.
Lots of other websites do this sort of tire comparison, Tire Reviews doesn't.
