Comparison: GoodYear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 5 vs. Nokian WetProof

Today, we are comparing two summer tyres, the GoodYear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 5 and the Nokian WetProof. Both tyres come from reputable manufacturers, Goodyear and Nokian respectively, with a rich history in producing quality tyres. Let’s delve into the details of these two high-performance tyres and see how they performed in tests.

The Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 5, manufactured in Slovenia and Germany, is the successor to the previously popular Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 3. Our testing gave this tyre an overall rating of 41%, with this model boasting particularly strong performance in the areas of Aquaplaning - cross and mileage, according to Autobild's testing. Please note, this tyre has already been replaced by a newer model, the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6.

On the other hand, the Nokian WetProof is a Finnish-made tyre that we rated at 68%. This tyre showcased its strengths in reducing exterior noise and providing better cornering on wet circles according to Autobild's test. No newer model currently replaces the Nokian WetProof.

Comparing the test results from Gute-Fahrt and Autobild, the GoodYear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 5 consistently scored high, landing the top position in both tests out of 8 and 53 total competing tyres respectively. Meanwhile, the Nokian WetProof maintained a commendable position in the upper half of the test results, securing the 4th and 5th places in tests.

In conclusion, while both tyres have their individual strengths, the GoodYear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 5 outperforms the Nokian WetProof in mutual test rankings, making it potentially a more desirable choice among consumers. However, the WetProof’s solid performance and notably high rating in exterior noise reduction and wet circle cornering should not be overlooked. The final selection will ultimately depend on individual driving style and requirements. Always remember to closely look at each tyre's features to find the one that best fits your specific needs.
