GoodYear

We have selected just a few Goodyear summer tyres from the many available, based on the most recent independent tests. Below you will find concise, test-driven summaries of those chosen models — their strengths, any drawbacks noted by test organisations, and when a model represents a new generation replacing an earlier tyre.

Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6
A new-generation Ultra-High-Performance tyre that has already appeared in multiple 2025–2026 tests and scores highly overall (model rating 91). The Asymmetric 6 replaces earlier Eagle F1 Asymmetric generations (Asymmetric 5 and Asymmetric 3) and is presented by testers as a balanced, high‑performance tyre. Autobild (2025) rated it “exemplary”, praising its dynamic cornering, short braking distances and good all‑surface behavior (including some off‑road capability), while Tyre Reviews (2025) marked it as “highly recommended”. Other recent tests (Autobild 2026, Aftonbladet 2025, Vibilagare 2025) also included it in their comparisons, with emphasis on strong wet performance and overall driving precision. If you drive a sporty car and prioritise handling and braking performance, this tyre is a clear contender.

Goodyear EfficientGrip 2 SUV
Targeted at SUV drivers, this updated EfficientGrip 2 SUV has repeatedly topped or placed highly in recent test programmes (Autobild multiple years, Tyre Reviews) and carries a very strong model rating (92). Test reports highlight balanced safety reserves against aquaplaning, short wet braking distances, good cornering dynamics and high mileage — Autobild explicitly praised its combination of secure handling, comfort and outstanding wear performance. In short: an SUV tyre engineered for safe wet behaviour, comfort and long service life; a good choice if low rolling resistance and mileage economy are important for your vehicle.

Goodyear EfficientGrip Performance 2
This compact-/family‑car performance tyre (successor to the original EfficientGrip Performance) has appeared in multiple 2024–2025 tests with mixed but generally positive outcomes; its model rating in our dataset is on the moderate side (around 78). Test results show solid wet‑road behaviour and precise handling — for example, Motor (2025) recommended it, and Automotorsport praised its wet braking and high wet-track precision. Some testers noted trade‑offs: longer dry braking distances and slightly higher rolling resistance were reported in a few evaluations. The tyre is offered from factories in Poland and Germany and is even specified as first equipment on some models (Renault Mégane E‑TECH), which underlines its OEM suitability.

What to take away
Several Goodyear summer tyres are recent replacements or upgrades of established lines (Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6 replaces earlier Asymmetric models; EfficientGrip 2 SUV is the successor to EfficientGrip SUV; the Performance 2 is the evolution of EfficientGrip Performance). Test programmes generally show that Goodyear’s latest UHP and SUV tyres deliver excellent wet performance, confident handling and good wear characteristics; the Performance 2 family gives dependable wet grip but can show compromises in dry braking and rolling resistance in some size/test combinations. Choose the specific model and size that match your vehicle, driving style and priorities (handling vs. lowest rolling resistance vs. longevity), and consult the full test tables for size‑specific results and exact braking distances before buying.
