In this tyre comparison, we will compare the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6 and the Continental SportContact 7 summer tyres, two prominent models manufactured by Goodyear and Continental respectively.
The Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6, manufactured in Germany, garnered a 93% rating from our team. Its excellent features included dry handling, aquaplaning - cross, and reduced exterior noise. In various reviews, it was noted for its decent performance in both dry and wet conditions, superior handling, comfort, and noise control. The wear and tear rate was low, contributing to an estimated high mile run. Despite minor dampened curve grip, it has been consistently praised for its good noise control and low rolling resistance. It is important to mention that this tyre is a summer ultra-high performance (UHP) tyre, meaning that it offers great performance in both wet and dry conditions.

It's a summer ultra-ultra-high performance (UUHP) tyre and stands out for its dry braking and comfort. Despite a recall for robust wet curve grip, the tyre performs excellently in tests. The tyre has a superior grip level that provides a secure and reliable driving experience. It received praise for dynamic and solid handling, precise and responsive steering, and a phenomenal braking performance on both wet and dry surfaces. Nonetheless, some users have noted that its comfort during rolling could be improved.
