Comparing the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6 and the Kumho Ecsta PS71 - two top-rated summer tyre models, we can draw some conclusions based on the cumulated data from multiple tests.

Let's start with the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6. This tyre model has an impressive rating of 100%, reflecting the high standards of the Goodyear manufacturer. In the Autobild test, it secured second place out of 50 tyres, impressing with its comfort, dry handling, mileage, exterior noise, and price/value. Known for its performance in wet and dry conditions and excellent mileage, this model was replaced by none.

The Kumho Ecsta PS71, on the other hand, has an overall rating of 68%. In the Autobild test, it clinched the 12th position out of 50 tyres listed. Its strengths lay in aquaplaning - longitudal, comfort, wet braking, and wet handling. The manufacturer, Kumho, has yet to replace this model with a newer one.

The Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6 outperformed the Kumho Ecsta PS71 in mutual tests, often ranking higher. Specifically, it stood out with its balanced characteristics on dry and wet roads, high predicted mileage, low abrasion, low weight, and low fuel consumption. It didn't show any significant weaknesses.

In contrast, the Kumho Ecsta PS71 performed well in terms of short braking distance on dry roads and its qualities on wet roads. Its disadvantages, however, included weaker comfort during dry road driving, weaknesses in dry road handling safety, low predicted mileage, high abrasion, and higher weight.

To summarize, the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6 takes the lead in terms of overall test results and manufacturer rating. However, both models showcase unique strengths, and choosing between the two depends on individual driver preferences and requirements.
