Continental SportContact 7 vs Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6

In this article we will be looking at independent tire test data, and real world driver reviews of the Continental SportContact 7 and the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6 to find out which tire is best for your own driving.

The good news is that both the Continental SportContact 7 and Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6 are Max Performance Summer tires designed to be fitted to Passenger Cars, which means comparing the two tires is relatively simple.

Both tires are hugely popular in the market place with drivers, and both have been featured in independent tire tests.

SportContact-7 VS Eagle-F1-Asymmetric-6

Test Results

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:

  • Continental SportContact 7 finished ahead of the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6 in five of the tests
  • Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6 finished ahead of the Continental SportContact 7 in one of the tests

While it might look like the Continental SportContact 7 is better than the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6 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.

Bought these based on the group test results and was not disappointed. The wet grip is at a new level! I've tracked them several times both in dry and wet and they didn't fail. I was especially impressed with how they held up during the day and the tread that was left afterwards. These tires transformed the driving experience both on the road and track.

I am a massive Goodyear fan. I had the Assym 3's on a previous car and never looked back.

I have now had the Eagle F1 Asymmetric 5's, Goodyear Eagle F1 Supersports, Michelin PS4 and even some Avon's (for a brief period) on my current car - a Golf GTI Clubsport 40.

I mix up my driving a lot - lots of motorway driving but also lots of hard street driving and B road blasts, I find it massively important to have the best tires possible to allow me to push my car as hard as I can in a safe manner.

I was massively impressed with the Asymmetric 5's, the sheer grip... Continue reading this review using the link below

Similar Comparisons

Looking for more tire comparisons? Here are other direct comparisons involving these tires:


Footnote

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.
