Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6

[ChronoMax]

Time to replace tires 20" CT4.

Everyone seems to like the Asymmetric 5, but what about the 6? Haven't found much feedback on them. How new are they? N rated?

Maybe the 5 is still the one to get?

you could fit them but they are not NF rated, only 5 is NF0 and NF1 rated but on the 21" sized for the sedan.

I just went from my 20 inch winters to the goodyear 5s 21s and my god are they loud! Trying michelins next round I think

 

[ChronoMax]

Ok sounds like maybe not the best choice then.

What is the consensus today for a daily driver / commuter 20" all season all around tire for the CT4?

Could that be more 20 vs 21 than the tire manufacturer?

Yeah I definitely think so. But ive been told the michelins are marginally quieter inside the car and I rarely drive at 10/10ths anyway nowadays

Michelin CrossClimate2 if you want it to do double duty as a winter tire.
Otherwise, Continental DWS 06 Plus.

Thank you Jonathan S. for the suggestion!
I dont think we need the severe snow service rating.
The Conti DWS 06 Plus looks perfect, however not available in 285/40-20 unfortunately it seems

Maybe our best bet for 20" is just to go with the old tried and true PS4's? Happy with them in the wet with the 997. Will do some more research but happy to hear other opinions and feedback

Ah, now I remember -- available in the Taycan staggered 21" but not 20".
(Some of these staggered setups seem like a conspiracy to induce madness via tire model available! Our i4 is the same way...)

2024 J1.1 GTS Sport Turismo on 21" Spyder RS wheels here. Went from Pirelli PZero's to NF1 Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 5's recently.

They don't seem any louder than the PZero's, dry grip seems about the same, as does comfort. Wet grip and performance in cold conditions (I'm in Scotland, UK) over the PZero's is noticeably better. Very little in the way of the Ackerman effect in cold temperatures, compared to the PZero's which made an awful noise and skipped badly when turning at slow speeds, pulling out of junctions.

Will see how they do wear rate wise, PZero's had about 2.5 to 3mm left at 16k miles. Anything approaching that on the ASY5's would be good.

Unfortunately on the J1.1 on 21"'s the choice is essentially PZero's or ASY5's. Which is disappointing as I had PS4S's and CSC7's on my previous cars (G81 M3 and M340i Touring) and they were fantastic.

You can get PZero Rs, yes?

 

[Tango22]

Yeah, but for a 'daily' vehicle they are a bit overkill.

I only just get away with using standard PZero's and ASY5's all year round!!!

To be fair, I'm retired so I don't have a commute and if I look outside and it's icy or snowing, I just chill and sit back down again

Interesting note: my old Asymmetric 3s were really bad with 'Ackerman' noise/skipping - then I replaced them with exactly the same tyres: nothing! - no noise or skipping on full lock. The old fronts looked fine except when removed the inside shoulders were down to the cords .

Conclusion: I suspect the 'Ackerman' problems are more related to worn tyres than which tyre, though admittedly some will be better/worst than others.

Hankook ion Evo work really well on a Taycan.

Not N rated in J1.1 21" Spyder sizes but don't let that put you off.

And not the all season version.

Quiet, grip well, wear well. Possibly a slight improvement in range (but not empirically tested).

Have also used them in low temps and they were fine (not used in snow and ice).
