I know how the Asymmetrical 6 is such a favourite and how well reviewed it was. But on the A5 which sits lower, my biggest gripe would be the road feedback. On certain road surfaces, the car glides through while providing some feedback, On rough surfaces, it seems to be highlighting every crevices undulation on the road which makes it very uncomfortable. I do not appreciate after riding an hour in the car and probably due to thin profile of the tires, that road feedback travels into the cabin and makes the car just feel out of place. The tires perform well on handling, on grip, on braking distance, on quietness, it was sublime. The road contact patch they boast of actually backfires in a hot country with terrible roads - Singapore.

I previously had the Goodyear Asymmetric 5 and they lasted 62000km (38500 mi). The Asymmetric 6 lasted less than 16000 km (10000 mi) and in fact they had been done for at least 3000 km since when I was going to rotate the tires when I saw they were completely flat, I was surprised such a short life; the front ones were a little bit better but almost done as well. Maybe it's a quality problem but I took the car to the same shop and had installed the previous version, the Asymmetric 5. I hope they perform equally as the ones I had 3 years before. I drive very very smoothly and gently and my driving style hasn't changed. I wouldn't buy them again and I wouln't recommed them to anybody eventhough the tire is silent and the grip is great.

Excellent tires with good grip in the wet and dry. Comfort and noise is good. Wear rate on front 1mm per 5000 miles. On rear 1mm per 10000 miles.

Second set of tires in my car. Replaced factory set Good Year A5. Driven for 13.000 miles, mostly in motorways, but also in town and b roads. Better in every way than the old tires, especialy in dry grip and handling. Not sure about wear. A5 lasted for 30.000 miles.

The way this tire performs is exceptional. The limits of grip and adhesion are very high in all conditions. The tire is also quiet ands comfortable. However all of this seem to have come because they are made from a soft compound and they wear pretty fast. I don't drive particularly hard but at 8000 miles on the rear they are nearly on the wear bars. I will be looking to replace with something with more longevity, even if that means sacrificing some ultimate grip. The previous generation Assymetric 5 would fit the bill if I am able to source some.

was really happy with the asymmetric 5 in every catagory, now the asymmetric 6 is better in all bar one catagory with a bit of aqauplaning probably due to the lesser tread depth,otherwise its a really excellent tire would buy again.

As i have driven about 10 000 kilometers for 2 seasons with these tires + 2 casual track days, i am really impressed for its performance. Tires just gave me more boost of confidence for both braking and handling. Driving on wet was nearly same as driving on dry if we don't count aquaplaning on flooded road. 1 bad thing about the tires is that it is very sensitive to uneven wear. My tires were often overinflated as upsizing tires requires lowering tire pressure, making middle of the tire worn more than sides and it made car vibrate too much on higher speeds. Even so, only comfort dropped but not the grip as tire depth difference between sides and middle was only about 1mm.

Highly recommended premium tire that can be a steal below 100€ if you have 225/45R17 as standard! I only took 235/45R17 for extra grip.

Driving on Bridgestone Potenzas runflats 001 was a Bad experience, so I changed to the Goodyear Eagle F1Asymmetric 6 front and rear. The difference was noticeable straight away, comfortable, rolling resistance was noticeable, less Road noise than the Potenzas. The Grip in wet and dry was fantastic. Do not hesitate in buying Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric ,Driving my BMW 420d is far better Experience than before.

I would NOT recommend the Asymmetric 6 if you're looking for a tire that will last for more than 1 year!

I bought 4 brand new A6 tires early this year replacing my old Michelin Primacy 3. Before buying them, I read up on multiple tests and reviews, and the A6 finished on top in most of them. Sure, the A6 has excellent handling, wet- and dry grip, so nothing to complain about there.
My issue is that the tires have terrible longevity.
I don't know what tread depth the tires have from the factory but I would assume they have at least 6 mm. Now, I drive very gently. No excessive accelerations, no heavy braking and I don't haul any heavy loads. I simply use the car to go to work every day back and forth. So when evaluating the wear after 8 months and about 8000 kilometers, the tread is down to 3 mm. This kind of wear was nothing that I expected from a renowned manufacturer such as Goodyear. Sure, some would argue that the A6 are categorized as sport tires with a softer rubber blend. But they are not pure sport tires. They are marketed as performance tires for premium cars, even compatible with EV's. (If you own a Tesla, you would probably need 4 new sets a year with the A6).

So if you're looking for tires that will last, together with equal or maybe even better performance metrics, then buy something else! I surly will go back to Michelin.

Good tire but wears fast. Have had Goodyear Asymmetric 6 for 20000km and rears are done. Uniroyal Rainsport 5 lasted for 33000km. So, compared to those Goodyears wear very badly and Uniroyals are considered high wearing tire.

That said wear is about only negative. Tires are quiet, have really good grip and fast and communicative turn in.

Purchased the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6 Oct 23 after plenty of research via this websites excellent You Tube channel {many thanks} as well as the Volkswizard Goodyear tire tests {also on You Tube}. OEM fit to my Mk8 VW GTI were Eagle F1 Super Sports 225/40 R18 which were all I expected them to be i.e. good in most aspects given their year round use on my Golf. Changed wheel size to 19" so hence the research. No contest really. Chose the F1 Asymmetric 6 for potentially better winter/wet weather performance as these will be a year round fit. So far after a "test" drive over a very wet Saturday and a dry/sunny Sunday, very impressed!

Superb tire for the summer. Compared to the 3rd generation, it already has full grip at +15°C outside.

Unfortunately I'm a bit disappointed in wet conditions, it doesn't come near all weather or all season tires. Tires easily spin (150hp/250nm, not even much) and the car slips easier.

For spring and summer, they're amazing. Good price, low road noise, good comfort.
