Comparison: Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6 vs. Uniroyal RainSport 5

In this tyre comparison, we are focusing on two high-performance summer tyres: the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6 and the Uniroyal RainSport 5. Both are excellent options for performance and sport-focused vehicles, with Goodyear’s tyre being manufactured in Germany while the place of production of Uniroyal’s model is not specified.

The Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6 excels in a variety of key factors according to tests performed on numerous platforms. Its strengths include exceptional dry braking, dry handling, comfort, low exterior noise, and high mileage characteristics. These, coupled with its competitive price/value ratio, make this tyre a strong candidate for those seeking superior performance in dry conditions.

On the other hand, the Uniroyal RainSport 5 is particularly noted for its proficiency in aquaplaning - a valuable attribute considering summer showers. Its performance in both cross and longitudinal aquaplaning tests commendably stood out.

In mutual tests conducted by Autobild, out of 50 tyres, the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6 scored a laudable second position, with the mentioned strengths consistently showing up in the test results. However, the Uniroyal RainSport 5 had a more modest position by ranking 17th, with its aquaplaning strengths being its most prominent features.

In conclusion, if you are seeking high mileage, comfortable driving and superior dry condition performance, the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6 comes as an excellent choice. But for those who are concerned about sudden summer showers and value aquaplaning resistance, the Uniroyal RainSport 5 will be a worthy contender.
