When it comes to selecting between two top-tier SUV summer tyres, namely the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6 and the Michelin Pilot Sport 4 SUV, you are definitely in for a tough decision. Both tyres are highly rated at 93%, showcasing impressive performance, and come from reputable tyre manufacturers Goodyear and Michelin
Let's take a closer look into their strengths and weaknesses. The Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6 is, according to many tests, particularly excellent in terms of wet cornering, wet and dry braking, dry handling, comfort and rolling resistance. It is a clearly well-rounded summer tyre that adapts to various conditions and provides dynamic performance and short braking distances.
Michelin Pilot Sport 4 SUV, on the other hand, shines in the areas of aquaplaning - cross, dry handling, grass and gravel traction and wet braking. It gives dynamic handling, short braking distances on asphalt, and substantial aquaplaning safety reserves. However, its performance on sandy terrain is admittedly weak.
The Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6 ranked 1st in an 11-tyre test by Autobild, and 4th in a 6-tyre test by Vibilagare, consistently showing its superior features. However, the Michelin Pilot Sport 4 SUV also makes a formidable contender, snagging the 2nd spot in the same Autobild test and the 1st spot in the Vibilagare test.
In summary, both tyres offer high-quality performance with varied strengths. The Goodyear model delivers well-rounded performance with particularly impressive handling and braking in different conditions. The Michelin tyre impresses with robust handling on varying terrains and conditions, triumphing in aquaplaning. The choice between these two highly-rated models comes down to specific requirements and preferences.
Neither of these tyres has been replaced with newer models, indicating that their top-notch performance still satisfies the high expectations of their manufacturers.
