Comparing the Nokian zLine and the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 3, it's clear that both tyres have strengths that make them stand out. But when considering overall performance, various tyre tests show divergent results for each.
The Nokian zLine, made by a Finnish tyre producer Nokian Tyres, is a summer tyre with specific functions that meet certain driving needs. Although it doesn't have a newer model that replaces it, it doesn't lag too far behind in test rankings. In the Automotorsport test, this tyre took 6th place out of 11 tyres tested. The ACE performance test saw Nokian zLine rank 3rd, with 'dry handling' being its best feature. However, Autobild and GTÜ tests weren’t as favourable, placing the Nokian zLine at positions 20 and 6 respectively. Overall, this summer tyre shows a strong performance in dry conditions.
On the other hand, we also review Goodyear, a well-known tyre brand hailing from the US but widely in Europe, the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 3 boasts a strong showing in different tyre tests. Its successor is the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 5. In comparing the test results, the Asymmetric 3 outperformed the Nokian zLine in the Automotorsport and GTÜ tests, ranking 5th and 2nd respectively. Its best feature in these tests was its 'rolling resistance'. The ACE test placed it 8th with its best feature being 'dry driving behavior', and the Autobild placed it 8th as well. The performance of this model is very balanced, with great scores for dry and wet handling.
In conclusion, the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 3 seems to outperform the Nokian zLine in most tests, demonstrating superior overall performance, particularly in different weather and road conditions. However, if you mainly drive in dry conditions, the Nokian zLine is a worthy alternative due to its impressive dry handling characteristics.
Regardless of your choice, both tyres demonstrate strong performances under various road conditions, affirming the expert craftsmanship of their manufacturers: Nokian Tyres and Goodyear.
