Comparison: GoodYear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 5 vs. Continental PremiumContact 6

Today, we're comparing two major contenders in the tyre industry: the GoodYear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 5 and the Continental PremiumContact 6. Due to their high ratings and impressive features, these tyres have repeatedly positioned at the top in several tests.

The GoodYear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 5, made in Slovenia and Germany, is a summer tyre from Goodyear, scoring an impressive 90% on our scale. This tyre is the successor of the Eagle F1 Asymmetric 3 and has been replaced by the Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6. It has proven itself superior in features such as aquaplaning-cross, exterior noise, dry braking, wet braking, and comfort based on Autozeitung, AutoMotorSport, and Autobild tests. It secured the first position in Autozeitung, AutoMotorSport, and Autobild tests, and came third in ADAC while placing sixth in Promobil.

On the other hand, the Continental PremiumContact 6, hailing from Slovakia, Germany, and Czech Republic, is a summer, touring tyre from Continental. Our tests rated this tyre at 87%, making it a strong competitor. The PremiumContact 6 has replaced the ContiPremiumContact 5, and been succeeded by the PremiumContact 7. In various tests, it showcased exceptional dry handling and overall wet performance, particularly in ADAC's test where it grabbed the top spot. It also secured impressive positions in other tests - second in Autozeitung and Promobil, and third in AutoMotorSport.

While both tyres demonstrate impressive performance, the GoodYear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 5 generally outperforms the Continental PremiumContact 6 in rankings, mainly due to its superior ratings in aquaplaning, wet braking, and comfort. However, the Continental PremiumContact 6 shines for its strong dry handling and overall wet performance. Therefore, the ultimate choice between these two ultimately depends on whether you prioritize comfort and security in wet conditions (GoodYear) or strong dry handling (Continental).

As newer tyre models have replaced both tyres, you can now review the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6 and the Continental PremiumContact 7 for their updated features and improvements based on their previous models' performances.
