Comparison: Dunlop SP Sport MAXX RT2 vs. Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 3 vs. Pirelli P ZERO vs. Hankook Ventus S1 Evo 2 K117 vs. Vredestein Ultrac Satin vs. Maxxis Premitra HP5 vs. Continental PremiumContact 6
Here we compare two standout tyres from leading manufacturers, the Dunlop SP Sport MAXX RT2 and the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 3. Both are summer tyres, designed for enhanced performance in dry and wet conditions.
The Dunlop SP Sport MAXX RT2 is a UUHP (Ultra Ultra High Performance) tyre, indicating its capability to handle high-speed requirements with ease. Our rating of this tyre stands at 72%, reflecting its overall dependable performance. Unfortunately, details about its manufacturing origin and use as original equipment remain unknown. It's worth noting that this model has not been replaced with a newer Dunlop tyre as yet, which speaks to its enduring popularity.
Goodyear's competitor in this evaluation, the Eagle F1 Asymmetric 3, may not fall into the UUHP category, but still showcases impressive performance. The tyre is made in Germany, a testament to the quality one can expect from Goodyear. It's worth mentioning that this model has been upgraded with the Eagle F1 Asymmetric 5.
In comparable tests, such as EVO, Autobild, Automotorsport, Sportscars, and GTÜ, we find that both tyres hold their ground quite effectively. Across the five tests, Dunlop SP Sport MAXX RT2 averaged a test position of 4.4, with its best performance in Automotorsport where it ended up second among eight tyres. Meanwhile, the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 3 averaged a test position of 4.4 too, matching Dunlop step for step and also clinching the top spot in Automotorsport.
In summary, it's a tight race between Dunlop SP Sport MAXX RT2 and Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 3. While Dunlop offers a UUHP tyre that consistently performs well in tests, Goodyear's offering, manufactured in Germany, brings reliable performance and has a new version available for those seeking the latest advances.
