Goodyear

Goodyear's summer range covers everything from ultra-high-performance road tyres to SUV-focused all-rounders and efficiency-oriented options, and rather than cover every tyre the brand offers, this overview focuses on a handful of models that have appeared most consistently in recent independent tests, giving a representative picture of how the current lineup performs.

The **Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6** is the latest generation of Goodyear's flagship UHP tyre, replacing the Eagle F1 Asymmetric 5 and Eagle F1 Asymmetric 3. It has been rated "exemplary" by Auto Bild and Autobild and "very recommended" by Autozeitung, with Sportauto praising it as the sportiest tyre in its test, offering the highest cornering grip, the best comfort score, the lowest rolling resistance among premium tyres, and the quietest rolling noise. Autobild also highlighted its projected mileage as class-leading, calling it an "eco-champion" that performs strongly across every discipline. The main criticisms are a slightly nervous character under sudden load changes, minor weaknesses in lateral aquaplaning, and a higher purchase price.

The **Goodyear EfficientGrip 2 SUV** succeeds the original Goodyear EfficientGrip SUV and has built an unusually strong track record, earning "exemplary" ratings from Autobild across four separate years (2021, 2022, 2023, and 2025) in addition to a "recommended" result from Motor in 2026. Testers consistently praise its balanced wet and dry handling, strong aquaplaning safety margins, short braking distances, and high mileage, with Motor specifically noting it delivered the best wet handling in its test. Its few noted downsides are a comparatively higher price and, in one test, weaker dry braking than some rivals.

The **Goodyear EfficientGrip Performance 2**, which replaces the original EfficientGrip Performance, targets drivers prioritising efficiency and everyday reliability. It has picked up solid results across five tests from AvD, ADAC, motor, Automotorsport, and Vibilagare between 2024 and 2026, with ratings ranging from "good" to "very recommended," reflecting a dependable, well-rounded performer without a standout strength or weakness singled out in these tests.

Finally, the **Goodyear Eagle F1 Supersport**, Goodyear's dedicated ultra-high-performance tyre with no listed predecessor in this comparison, shows more mixed results depending on the test. TYRE REVIEWS rated it best-in-test for comfort and praised its strong, confidently-rated wet handling, and Autobild's 2025 test highlighted brilliant dry grip and short braking distances. However, other tests were less favourable: Sportscars placed it last for wet and dry handling with extended wet braking distances, and rolling resistance was flagged as a weak point across multiple tests, including being the worst in class in two separate reviews.

Together, these four tyres show the range of Goodyear's current summer offering: the Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6 for sporty all-round performance, the EfficientGrip 2 SUV for SUV drivers wanting proven, balanced safety, the EfficientGrip Performance 2 for everyday efficiency, and the Eagle F1 Supersport for drivers chasing outright performance, albeit with some trade-offs in efficiency and consistency.
