The Nokian Powerproof


Made in Finland, the Nokian Powerproof is a trustworthy option rated 51% by us. While it doesn't come from a line of previous models, it has been replaced by a newer version, the Nokian Powerproof 1. In various tests, the Nokian Powerproof consistently ranked in the middle, highlighting strengths in areas such as wet braking and handling on gravel. Noise levels were also notably low.


The GoodYear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 5


From the respected brand GoodYear, the Eagle F1 Asymmetric 5 builds upon its predecessor, the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 3. It has been replaced by the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6. This tyre, manufactured in Slovenia and Germany, boasts an outstanding rating of 80% from us.


In a variety of tests, the Eagle F1 Asymmetric 5 consistently outperformed the Powerproof, often securing the top spot. It excelled particularly in "Aquaplaning - cross," "Wet braking," and other areas of wet performance. This tyre also displayed strengths in dry braking, dry steering response, exterior noise level, comfort, mileage, and even price/value.

In terms of features, the GoodYear Eagle tyre proved to be the superior choice, showing exceptional performance in both wet and dry conditions, with a bonus in mileage and price/value.


The Nokian Powerproof, on the other hand, showed its strength in interior noise control and wet performance, though it didn't perform as consistently across all test areas.
