Comparison: Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6 vs. Goodyear Efficient Grip Performance 2 (2026)

Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6 for performance and confidence; Efficient Grip Performance 2 for economy and comfort.

Goodyear has long understood that not every driver wants the same thing from a tyre, and the gap between the Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6 and the Efficient Grip Performance 2 illustrates that philosophy perfectly. The Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6 sits at the top of Goodyear's summer passenger range — a performance flagship with sport-car ambitions, wide size availability and a consistent record of winning independent tests. The Efficient Grip Performance 2, successor to the Efficient Grip Performance, occupies a calmer corner of the range: it prioritises low fuel consumption, ride comfort and a gentle running cost over outright grip. Both are premium products, but they speak to entirely different drivers.

Good for
Spirited drivers wanting best-in-class dry performance Hot hatch and sports car owners Drivers prioritising short braking distances High-mileage drivers wanting premium longevity
Not ideal for
Drivers prioritising lowest possible rolling resistance Those needing 15" or 16" rim fitments
Goodyear Efficient Grip Performance 2
Good for
EV and hybrid owners focused on efficiency Comfort-first family car drivers Budget-conscious buyers seeking low running costs Urban and motorway commuters on smaller cars
Not ideal for
Performance or sports car drivers Those needing sizes above 20" or below 15" Drivers who push their tyres near the limit

Verdict

Choose the Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6 if you value driving confidence, short braking distances and all-round performance — it is one of the best summer tyres on the market regardless of brand, offers a vast choice of sizes, and its real-world longevity makes it surprisingly cost-effective over time. Owners consistently rate it among the highest of any tyre in its category, and independent tests back that up year after year. Choose the Efficient Grip Performance 2 if your priorities are fuel economy, comfortable everyday driving and lower running costs — especially if you drive a smaller or electric vehicle where rolling resistance directly impacts range and consumption. It is a well-rounded, capable tyre that will not let you down in normal driving conditions, even if it gives up some safety margin at the limit compared to the Eagle F1. In short: if you care about how your car feels to drive, the Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6 is the answer. If you care about how much it costs to run, the Efficient Grip Performance 2 makes a strong case.
