When comparing the Kumho Ecsta PS71 and the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6 summer tyres, some clear differences emerge in our tests. Designed by Kumho and Goodyear respectively, these tyres are intended for different types of drivers and conditions.
The Kumho Ecsta PS71 is praised for its strong aquatic performance, with it excelling in Aquaplaning - longitudal and comfort categories. It also scored well for wet braking and wet handling, making it ideal for regions with rainy summer months. Despite its advantages, the tyre still fails to secure a top position in our tests, coming in 12th out of 50 in the Autobild test and 13 out of 18 in the ADAC test. Some reports also mention increased road noise as a negative aspect of this tyre.
On the other hand, the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6 stands out for entirely different reasons. Strong performance in dry conditions with excellent handling and braking make it a solid choice for warmer, drier climates. Furthermore, it has exceptionally high mileage, offering drivers increased value for its price. The tyre is also noted for its exterior noise reduction and driver comfort, making it pleasant for everyday use. It definitely shines in tests; with the 2nd spot out of 50 in the Autobild test, and 4th out of 18 in ADAC. It also took the 1st position in the ACE test out of 10 tyres.
While both tyres are strong in their own ways, the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6 appears to be a better overall choice, due to its higher average position in tests, versatile performance both on wet and dry road condition, and value for the money. However, those who frequently drive in wet conditions might prefer the aquaplaning edge offered by the Kumho Ecsta PS71.
It's also important to note that the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6 is the successor to both the GoodYear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 5 and the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 3, showing the continuous improvement and advance of the Goodyear's tyre technology.
To summarize, the Kumho Ecsta PS71 is a robust performer under wet conditions, but might be too noisy for some drivers, whereas the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6 is an all-around performer with excellent mileage and comfort for drivers, standing out in the tests overall.
