As you noted, huge props to Goodyear to let you test the best of the competition. I like that.

Thanks for showing the after-results of the actual wear on a track. Really makes a big difference when we can't necessarily swap tires after each track event.

To be honest I never thought Tyre reviews could be so interesting. Thanks so much for the content.

just bought 235/40 r18 for my passat cc 1.8 tsi... this video helped me for the choice.. and the result is fantastic!! they fit my car perfectly!! low tyre noise.. excellent high speed stability.. good comfort aswell.. excellent breaking in dry and wet.. and finally good price/performance.. i highly recommend this product

How you manage to make tyres interesting is beyond me but well done and keep it up

I've just had 4 of the new F1A5's fitted to an MX-5 and the change from the OEM Bridgestones is huge. No more sketchy oversteer in damp conditions. Can't wait for it to dry up to really push them and see how they compare to PS4's I've previously used

Working at a tire shop ive noticed so many people buy economy tires ( kelly edge, blacklion, pantera, etc) I would love to see some reviews/ comparisons on this. Keep doing the awesome work you're doing I look forward to your videos and unbias reviews!

Just ordered 2x Asy 5 for my Merc front side. Already have Asy 3 on rear and just love the way they cruise in Rain while other people are slowing down :)

Finally as I requested some time ago and the coincidence couldn’t be better. I also drive a Mk7 GTI with the assymetric 5 for a month and I’m really happy, good to see how they behave against the continentals

Already ordered my asymmetric 5's before seeing this so good news & another great review

im slowly becoming a huge good year tires fan, im also rocking the efficiency grip performance 2, switched from the pirelli p zero rosso assimetrico which are even more expensive and really good tires, but the good years are all around really balanced and more affordable tires

Brilliant review. Happy that I went for the Asym 5's for my last set. About 1,500 miles in and all is well. Was planning on leaving a review once I get to about 5,000 miles on them.

Thank you for the very well presented superb review. Asym 5's for me!

This helped me purchase tires for my ‘17 GTI. Going against my preference, I’m going to pick up a set of Goodyear instead of Michelins

Just ordered 4 Asy5s for my car. Looking forward to trying them. Much better value than other premium tyres

Just had 4x F1 5s fitted to my S4, looking forward to getting to know them.

Apprezziamo molto le minime differenze e ciò che tu DICI, riguardo al movimento gomma in curva , alla più sterzata , alla comunicazione della gomma . È’ esattamente la verità . Sei il numero 1 al mondo per testare le gomme ! Bravissimo , you are the BEST .

Just 2 days ago i fitted the asymmetric 5 225/45/17 on my honda accord. Previoulsy i had Hankook K125 Prime 3. The asymmetric 5 feells great on high speed corners,verry good level of grip. Only downsize is that i was expecting a little less noise, but can’t complain. I was verry close on buying the Debica Presto UHP2 (by the way, this tyre has verry good reviews from consumers) but i got an incredible offer for asymmetric 5 so i chose them. P.S. i would really want an review from you in the Debica. Keep up the good job 👌

After picking up some Conti TS 860s for my 280 Superb in the winter thanks to the channel (no snow though, natch) I came right back to look at the new summers. I was probably looking at MPS4 anyway but now, if I can find some, will pick up some F1A5 depending on the price. MPS4 are avalable at £151 a corner fitted. Finding them though is proving difficult in 245/40/19. Only seen them at Mytyres right now and at £688 for 4, compared to £544 for 4 MPS4s from Protyre (with the £100 Michelin cashback offer) its probably going to be those! Keep up the good work. Even though I'll probably not need new tyres now for a couple of year I do still enjoy the content.

Bought the Goodyear because of your advice keep the up the good work

If its between Goodyear and Continental i say go with the Goodyear. Continental seems to make tyres that don't last.

Nice comparison and I am glad with the result as I just bought and mounted the GY Eagle F1 Asym 5 on my Citroen C5. It is not a sports car but it is fantastic on the highway and I sometimes have a heavy foot and therefore decided to replace my GY Efficient Grip Performance 225/55/17, which made around 75.000km (45.000miles), had still plenty of tread (about 4,5mm), but were 6 years old with the EF1Asym5. BUT what I noticed the most was the difference in tire behaviour as a result of different LOAD INDEX and EXTRA LOAD (XL) property of the tire. The difference is very noticeable, the EFP wich were 101V and XL were louder, harder and more direct and the EF1Asym5 97Y (not XL) are more comfortable, quieter and have amazing braking but you notice the softness of the tire wall when making sudden changes of direction. I really put a lot of effort in choosing the 225/55/17 97Y model as the load and speed indexes were more than sufficient for my car. Later, after I bought the new tires Asym5, I noticed the sticker on the car that specified the 97W or V as the default tire for my vehicle and also added tha they be Michelin Primacy HP ... ... ... BUT how to choose the optimal tire for a specific car in regard to LOAD INDEX and SPEED RATING and XL option as well? Would you do one episode on that? Comparing the same size and model tire but with a different load index, speed rating and XL option ... wouldn't that be something?! And consequently check tire ware and so on. PLEASE do one episode on that as it is such an important thing that we forget to consider and usually let the service clerk decide for us, as long as the model and size are ok. But the differences are very big. So guys, are you with me? Would you like to see that? Or am I the only one bothering with those details?

All of Goodyears F1s have been wet weather kings. The GSD was, the GSD2 was, the GSD3 was, the F1D5 was... They make amazing wet handling tyres.

Great unbiased review, his voice at 3.57 made me lol

Excellent review - very detailed, exactly what the viewer is looking for, thanks!

It's been a week since I purchased a set of Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 5"s 235/45R17, can say that they have great wet grip/braking and fuel economy has also improved. However they are significantly louder than my previous set of continentals. If they last 50k Kms then they are a steal but I doubt they will last that long as the roads here in UK are getting worse day by day.

Excellent. Nicely done. Your continuous, real-time narration makes it all very real. I like..!

I was unsure on the difference in the 3 Vs the 5 and with needing two new tyres I am going for the 5's as some how they were cheaper than the 3's but also because it's a Better tyre. Thank you

Insanely amazing of Goodyear to allow you to use the facility! Makes me want to buy Goodyear's simply for allowing the data to be collected

great review and it helped me decide as I have just put 4 new Goodyear Eagle F1 Assy 5 on my SLC43

Just replaced my Asymmetric 3's with the 5's this morning and WOW cannot rate them highly enough!

Perhaps its just me, but I would really like to know the weights of tyres too! Especially compared to the Michelin PS4 in the category of tyre. Some of us choose lighter wheels at the expense of looks, and although i'm not saying I would choose a light tyre over a heavy one without the other components of grip, feel and wet handling being important, I do think these tyres are all pretty close (including the MPS4) and I would be interested to know which is the lightest.

Hugely informative vid and great to see cars driven on the limit but with no silly power slides thrown in just to entertain the kids. Bought Goodyear ASY5s for my Boxster on the back of this review and couldn’t be happier as they were incredibly cheap compared to the Michelin and Conti rivals. Cheers again.

Have the Aym 3s on just now and was gonna go with direct replacement but now gonna go for the Assm 5s . Thanks for a great review

Good god I hope you make a lot of money. As I watch your tire reviews I'm thinking your head is going to explode as you try and get all the information out stored in your brain. Without a doubt you are the best person I have ever heard review tires in the past 60 years of my life learning about tires. (Tires are the most important item of any car that drives on any road). Thanks for your dedication and knowledge.

I just got some sport contact 6 on my 265 trophy after watching your vid about them. i hade PS4S previousley. they are great and the whirring noise from the MPS4S has gone. they feel a tad softer than the michilen but still very positive, and the grip is fantastic

I just purchased the goodyear Asymmetric 5 and I have to say it's better then the michelin super sport I had on the car the steering is far lighter with less road noise

I was looking for a review of the Eagle F1 5's and what do you know.... you're testing them with the exact same car I have!!!! I'm sold - thanks for the detailed review :)

Thank you for providing real coherent tyre tests and comparison on video with all the data!!!! Very useful :-)

I'm not fooling for this today! Just fitted 4 square wheels for better lateral grip

Can't wait for the comparison with the Michelin tires!

Having now had chance to let the asymmetric 5s scrub in,I can definetly say they are a big step up from the asymmetric 2's I have in the rear & with the asymmetric 3s only having been a small step up over the 2s I can see the 5s being a bit step up over the 3s too,the 5s are comfortable informative & very grippy,making it easy to get the rear to slide when I want to as the 5s on the front grip far beyond the grip of the rears

Got the Asymmetric 3 a couple weeks back. Great too see it also performs well in your tests!

I have nothing constructive to say other than watching these reviews / comparisons are literal ecstasy to me.

Good work Jonathan. Hope your tyre videos get as many views as some people's supercar videos and they help others to increase their motoring pleasure as much as my last two sets of tyres have for me.

Always get so excited whenever you post a new video! I make popcorn and everything xDD

As usual your review doesn't disappoint! It's just sad that tyres are expensive and last several years, because I'd like to try different tyres out and see which ones I like the most. Now you have to commit to one set of tyres for at least 6 years and by the time it's worn there are new models out.

The F1 Asy 5 was £20 a tyre cheaper than the mich ps4for my Abarth 124. I have a Chinese ditch finder at the rear so I am replacing the rear as a pair of Goodyears.

Asymmetric 3 user here and love them, wet and dry handling is excellent and wear is also excellent

Great review. I just switched from the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 2 to the Asymmetric 5 on my 2018 Focus St and love the tire so far. It has a nicer ride on Michigan roads it a very nice improvement. Tread life went from a 240 to 300 also so I hope to get longer tread life too.

I’ve watched so much of this channel over the last couple of days and I keep changing my mind what tyres I need for my Mk2 TTS! 😩

I have Continental Ecocontact 6 XL ( 185/55/R16) on my Honda Jazz hybrid 1.5 Executive! Best tires I have ever had regarding fuell economy , safety and durability. Good second is the Michelin Energy Saver . Worst tires I ever had was Dunlop Fast response🥴

I have had all three tyres, and I am a huge fan of the Goodyear 5. Presently got the PC5, been a short while and I am impressed. I changed my tires pair by pair and the originals were SC5s, so I tried to keep in line with those. Despite being positively impressed by PC5 and the mileage is too early for a final judgement , nothing would have kept me from buying the Goodyear if I changed all four. Contis still feel somehow like grand touring tires and not the sportiest of the competition, and I don't think I prefer that. Great review, cheers!

Love the videos. Keep up the good work, my girlfriend thinks I'm weird always watching tyre videos 😂. I'd love to see this year a head to head with all the top road summer tyres i.e Michelin, continental, Dunlop etc. As I am running Dunlop sportmaxx 2 on my Scooby and would love to see how it compares to the Rest

Great test and great video, good presentation fella

i’ve never been more into tyres...

You have some really good real world reviews. Thanks a lot!

The 5’s are quite a keen price for my Suzuki Swift Sport. The Conti’s are quite a bit more and don’t seem to be able to handle track work, which is no good for me. Although the (old stock) 3’s are a little cheaper, I think the 5’s are a good enough leap forward to get my money.

I’m looking at the AS 5 for my SUV because the fuel efficiency rating is “A”, wet grip is “A” and the road noise is only 69db and the price is good. Plus according to reviews it’ll last longer (miles-wise) in comparison to the continentals.

That wear is out of order on the Conti I had heard they're bad for wear... I'm stuck between set of Michi ps4 or asym 5's now!

Good Year once again gets my vote

daughter just got all 4 corners fitted with asymmetric 5 today on her corsa and she said how better it drives feels more grippier and as she said it feels better driving the winding country side roads !

Great video, although I would have skipped the Asymmetric 2 and added the PS4. The holy trinity tested. But I understand the asymmetric 2 was needed for showing the asymmetric 5 improvements. Between the PS4 and the CPC6 I would also choose the Continentals for the test. People seem obsessed with the PS4 and forget how equally good the alternatives are, specially the CPC6. Great work, keep it coming. Cheers. PS: Now I'm getting 4 CPC6s. 😁

I worked in a tyre garage and Continental tyres are well known for cracking and perishing within a year!

F1 A5 is slightly noisy on worn tarmac... other than that I can said this is the most comfortable tyres I am on so far....

Great test, tnx!! Hello from Croatia!!

I've just ordered 4 F1 a5 after this review for my 2.0 Tfsi leon I was on uniroyal rain sport 3s hoping these are a improvement.

I like the videos. I just wonder if there is any biased towards Goodyear as they are using their test facility.....

Thanks for another great review vid Just priced these up in France (on a v. popular website) for my GLA 235/50/18 which will need tyres in next 6 months Surprised and disappointed at Goodyear’s high price vs Conti Prem 6. Had Conti Prem on an A6 Quattro which was v strong in the snow on them. At these prices it’s Conti or Cross Clim. Car spends 4 months in Alps. Goodyear F1 3’s €130 Goodyear F15’s €180 Conti 6’s €135 Michelin Cross Clim+ €155

Thanks mate going for the assym 5 s. Subscribed.

I quite like Jonathan's cap btw...

Well, this one replaced 2 tires at the same time the Premium Contact 5 and Contact Sport 5

I'm going to be switching to Goodyear Eagle F1s just as soon as I've scubbed the legal tread off the Michelin runflats, shouldn't be too long

Would like to see some these high dollar tires go up against good off brand competitors and third tier. Ive had some 3rd tier like Thunderer & GT radial, that were excellent for the money at 1/4 the cost of a Michelin. Ive had some 2nd tier brands like coopers and kellys that were terrible.

Please add a tire weight comparison for us folks worried about rotational mass :D amazing content as usual

Hello, nice vid and easy to understand information you brought there. But can you do a comparison for entry level tyre, for example the eco type for daily use

Just what I needed, thank you!

I've always been pretty disappointed with Continentals that I've owned, though I do think they have been getting better and better year on year. Going back several years, I did a VW track day in 2011 in my MkIV GTI 1.8T (everyone else was running MkIV and MkV R32s, as it was an ostensibly "R" trackday, just open to all VWs). I was running Continental ContiExtreme Contact DWs for the first time (after having run Michelin Pilot Exalto PE2s previously, a really excellent tire that preceded the Pilot Super Sport) and the Contis wore way, way worse in the sessions than the Michelins ever had over multiple track days. And I was getting off relatively easy in my 4-cylinder GTI. All the R32 guys, with that heavy cast iron VR6 way up front, were just PUNISHING their front tires and brakes. A fellow driver with a MkIV R32 also started the day with near-new (1200 road miles) Conti Extreme Contact DWs, and they were chunked to the cord by the end of the day. Set done. In my experience: Michelins don't do that very readily, and neither do Bridgestones, Dunlops, Yokohamas, or Pirellis. But Continentals sure do. Your 6 looks a lot better than what I'm used to from Contis from a session, but it's still pretty poor. I'm glad Continental seem to have sorted out their sidewalls with the 6, finally. The Conti DWs I owned those 6-8 years ago felt so woolly and unsupportive in the sidewall that it just killed the way that car drove and responded and really robbed me of confidence while driving in all situations, I really regretted the purchase massively, and happily re-sold the tires with more than half tread remaining to pick up some Michelin PSSs. I just couldn't stand those Contis to keep them until they wore out.

Fantastic review. Really helpful.

Great review but Im now confused for the best tyres for my car. I was looking at the conti but now im not so sure. I have a mercedes C180 sport with 200bhp. I dont skimp on cost when it comes to safety. I want an all season tyre which may do a track day at Goodwood. I would really appericate your advise on the best tyres for my car.

I take Asymmetric 5. Thanks for creating this video! Veeery cool

10:39 the shadow of the drone!!lol

Great detailed video! But i notice that most test are all oriented at performance. I whould like to think that the majority of people are looking for a comfortable and quiet tyre. I am at least 😁. For my vw Polo 1.2tsi on 215-40-17 or 215-45-17. Slow as s**t anyways, so a nice comfortable quiet and efficient tyre would be nice. Michelin primacy 4, or ps4 of something different? A test whould extra Nice ofcourse! Thanks in advance, keep up the good work!!

Ordered my Ass.5 last week, they are on the DHL drop-off atm. Gonna get the installed this week :)

I have a set of CPC6 on my car for a few months, and very, very impressed by them. They are quite, don't seem to have worn even a bit yet and the grip is astounding for its price. However for my other car I'm going to get a set of Asymmetric 5s when the Pilot Sport 3s wear out (few months still) and I'm curious. Haven't owned Goodyear tires before but this review did convince me they're good stuff

Great review! I was wondering between these two and now I think I will go with Continental. I would consider AS5 only if they are available in 255/35/18 (as Continental does not offer this size and I have to go with 225/40/18 all around). Thanks!

Well, just a fantastic review. Gonna take Eagle F1 A5 this year for my Octavia Scout 1.8T St1 - my Michelins Primacy 3 are finally over :)

What about adding the yokohama v105 or fluvia ?

What is direction of rotating on these? There is no arow or anything

Best all round non run flat tyre? For bmw f13 640d (400bhp) so running more than standard power. Do 20k+ motorway miles per year. With the occasional spirited drive. Tyre sizes 245/35/r20 275/30/r20. Struggle to find reviews of tyres at these sizes. Cheers!

My dad bought Conti PremiumContact 6 235/55-18 for Mercedes Viano (with rear air suspension) and its very comfortable and very responsive when turning in. Much better than crappy michelin primacy 3.

GREAT VIDEOS!! Shopping now for the best tire for my 2017 subaru legacy...I'm on the fence between goodyear and Michelin pilot sport 4 s...factory tires are Goodyear's...Is that the best that the designers have chosen?

I like all of your vids. I would really love to see a vid about which are the most comfortable tires on the market, for limousines (Audi 5/6,, E class ...). I'm very interested about noise levels, shock absorbance, to ensure that cosy quiet drive. Becouse tires can have same labels but in fact they are very different in real life use

WOW! Thank you! I always have issues with wear of tires sides. What you have shown at 11:20 is very important to me. I know what to buy for my 2016 mx5 :)

How does this fare against the pilot sport 4s?

Thank you for this review, I am torn between the goodyear asym 5 and conti premium 6, they are exactly the same price in my country. However, it seems that for my needs (civic type r fn2, daily commute, road trips, occasional autocross race), the goodyear wins. Would you agree?

Amazing test! If only you included the Michelin Pilot Sport 4... Would have been the Ultimate guide between these 3 tyres. Why didint you?

damn bro, are you a gymnist in your spare time? Your biceps are ripping! Appreciate the tyre info.

Got the Conti P. Contact 6 and no regrets, amazing grip.
