The Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6 and the Michelin Pilot Sport 5 are two highly competitive summer tyres within the market. Both have notable features and strengths justifying their prominence among consumers, but there are a few differences between them that gives each its unique value proposition.
The Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6, replacing earlier Asymmetric models, excel in areas of comfort, dry braking, and dry and wet handling. It achieved a strong first place in the ACE test, outperforming numerous other tyres on key aspects related to dry and wet handling and braking, as well as exterior noise. Further, the Asymmetric 6 shows superior performance being a safe and predictable choice, especially marked by its exceptional handling under worn wet braking conditions according to the Goodyear.
In contrast, the Michelin Pilot Sport 5, which followed the Pilot Sport 4 and 3, is acknowledged for its remarkable abilities in cross aquaplaning, dry handling and wearing attributes. Despite its higher price, the Pilot Sport 5 is recognised for its longevity and consistent performance across varying conditions, good steering, and progressive understeer balance. It demonstrates good aquaplaning reserves and short wet and dry braking distances. Yet, it stands out as the tyre with the lowest eco impact indicating the commitment of Michelin towards sustainability.
According to data collected from multiple sources, the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6 overall holds a higher ranking in comparison to the Michelin Pilot Sport 5. However, it's worth noting, the Michelin tyre is not far behind in performance and provides a greater resistance from aquaplaning, making it a preferable choice for motorists concerned with this specific performance attribute.
Ultimately, while both tyres exhibit strong performances in a variety of tests and conditions, your decision should align with specific driving conditions and the features you value most. Regardless of the choice, both the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6 and the Michelin Pilot Sport 5 represent high-quality, top-performing options in the tyre market.
