In this comparison, we will be discussing two popular summer tyres: the Dunlop SP Sport MAXX RT2 and the GoodYear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 5. Both tyres have been featured in many tests and reviews by various publications, which will help us determine their strengths and weaknesses.

First of all, the Dunlop SP Sport MAXX RT2 is a UUHP (Ultra-Ultra High Performance) summer tyre with an 85% rating on our tyre tests website. Unfortunately, there is no newer tyre that replaced this model. On the other hand, the GoodYear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 5 is a summer tyre that has a 94% rating and was made in both Slovenia and Germany. This tyre has been replaced by Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6 as a newer model. The GoodYear tyre replaced the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 3 in the brand's lineup.

Now let's analyze their performance in tests conducted by different publications:

Autozeitung Test
Out of 10 tyres tested, the Dunlop SP Sport MAXX RT2 ranked 8th, excelling in Aquaplaning (both cross and longitudinal) and Rolling resistance. On the other hand, the GoodYear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 5 ranked 1st in the test, with impressive performance in Aquaplaning (cross) and Wet braking.

Autobild Test
In an extensive test of 53 tyres, the Dunlop SP Sport MAXX RT2 ranked 11th. The GoodYear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 5, however, took the 1st position again and stood out with its Price/Value, Wet handling, Aquaplaning (cross), and Mileage.

Gute-Fahrt Test
In this test of 10 tyres, the Dunlop SP Sport MAXX RT2 ranked 3rd, showcasing impressive Aquaplaning (both cross and longitudinal). On the other hand, the GoodYear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 5 ranked 2nd.

Based on the test results, it is clear that the GoodYear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 5 outperforms the Dunlop SP Sport MAXX RT2 overall. The Asymmetric 5 consistently ranks higher in multiple tests and excels in various aspects such as Wet handling, Price/Value, and Aquaplaning. However, it is worth noting the Dunlop tyre's performance in Aquaplaning and Rolling resistance.

In conclusion, the GoodYear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 5 is the better choice overall. However, drivers who prioritize Aquaplaning and Rolling resistance might still consider the Dunlop SP Sport MAXX RT2 a viable option. Keep in mind that the Eagle F1 Asymmetric 5 has been already replaced by the Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6, so you may want to check the latest version from GoodYear as well.
