Comparison: GoodYear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 5 vs. Goodyear Efficient Grip Performance 2 vs. GoodYear Efficientgrip Performance 2 vs. Pirelli Cinturato (C3) vs. Pirelli P ZERO PZ4

Eagle F1 Asymmetric 5 grips harder; Efficient Grip Performance 2 goes further for less.

Goodyear builds its summer passenger range around two distinct philosophies, and these two models sit at opposite ends of them. The GoodYear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 5 is the driver's tyre — a performance-first UHP design that prioritises grip, braking, and confidence at the limit. The Goodyear Efficient Grip Performance 2 takes a different path entirely: it is engineered around efficiency, comfort, and running cost, making it one of the most fuel-friendly options in the premium summer segment. Both are genuinely accomplished tyres, but they answer different questions — and choosing between them means knowing which question matters most to you.

Verdict

If you drive a performance car or simply want the best possible grip and braking confidence regardless of conditions, the Eagle F1 Asymmetric 5 is the tyre to choose — its wet and dry capability is class-leading, and drivers who value that dynamic assurance will find it worth the premium. If your priorities are fuel economy, ride comfort, and keeping running costs low — particularly on a family hatchback or an EV — the Efficient Grip Performance 2 is the smarter pick from Goodyear's range. It delivers genuinely strong wet cornering grip, a noticeably more comfortable ride, and the lowest rolling resistance in its comparison fields, all at a price point that independent testers have flagged as excellent value. Neither is the wrong choice; they simply serve different drivers.
