Michelin Pilot Sport 5 (our rating: 95%) and the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6 (our rating: 91%) are two leading summer tyres aimed at performance and everyday usability. Both deliver excellent mileage and strong wet/dry performance, but they differ in character: Michelin prioritises precision and longevity, while Goodyear leans toward all-round value, comfort and low noise.

Michelin Pilot Sport 5 — strengths and weaknesses
The Pilot Sport 5 consistently scores top marks for precision steering, progressive handling balance and outstanding tread life. Test summaries highlight short wet and dry braking distances, very good aquaplaning resistance and class-leading mileage. Independent test notes (TyreReviews, AutoBild, Autozeitung, ADAC, ACE) emphasise its dynamic handling and long service life. Downsides are mainly cost: it is frequently noted as the most expensive tyre in tests and may offer marginally less ultimate wet grip than some rivals in very aggressive wet scenarios. In short: excellent durability and steering, premium price.

Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6 — strengths and weaknesses
The Asymmetric 6 is repeatedly praised for its balance: strong dry handling, predictable behaviour, very good wet performance and standout value for money. Tests place it high across the board — including top positions for wet braking and overall wet handling in ACE and strong showings in AutoBild and Autozeitung — and it regularly wins the cost/mileage comparisons. It also scores well for comfort and low exterior noise. Minor criticisms from track-focused reviews point to slightly reduced heat resistance compared with the previous Asymmetric 5 under extreme track use. Overall: great value, low noise, excellent mileage and strong wet/dry balance.

Head‑to‑head in tests
Across mutual tests the two tyres trade places: Goodyear often finishes ahead in AutobilD (2nd vs Michelin 6th), Autozeitung and ACE (1st in ACE vs Michelin 3rd), while Michelin scores extremely well in ADAC and other panels for its all-round precision and longevity. Michelin’s higher overall rating (95% vs 91%) reflects its premium performance and exceptional wear characteristics, but Goodyear frequently wins the practical test battles for price/value, comfort and noise with near-equal dynamic performance. If you prioritise the highest-rated, longest‑lasting summer tyre, Michelin is the choice; if you want the best balance of performance, comfort and cost, Goodyear often comes out on top in comparative tests.

Verdict
- Michelin Pilot Sport 5: choose this for sharp steering, consistent high-speed behaviour and maximum tread life — you pay a premium for those strengths. No newer replacement is listed for this model.
- Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6: choose this for excellent value, low noise, comfort and very strong wet/dry performance — a top pick in many comparative tests and often the better practical choice for everyday use. This model is also current with no newer replacement listed.

Both tyres are class-leading summer performance options; the final pick depends on whether you value ultimate longevity and steering precision (Michelin) or the best combination of cost, comfort and competitive real‑world performance (Goodyear).
