Goodyear tyres recognised for environmental responsibility and performance
A selection of Goodyear summer tyres has earned praise from leading European automotive publications for the tyre manufacturer’s commitment to safety, comfort and work toward helping reduce environmental impacts.
The Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6 and EfficientGrip 2 SUV impressed in four separate summer tyre tests, earning recognition for their mileage and well-balanced performance.
Auto Bild named the Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6 ‘Eco-Master 2025’ in its latest summer tyre test. The ultra-high-performance (UHP) tyre, which also earned shared overall Test Winner status, impressed with its combination of performance, class-leading mileage, lowest cost per 1,000 km driven, and minimal external noise.
This demonstrates the tyre’s suitability to equip the latest modern electric vehicles (EVs), and marks the sixth time since 2020 that Auto Bild has awarded Goodyear this prestigious title.
In its latest test, AUTO ZEITUNG also recognised the Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6 for its excellent performance and class-leading mileage, awarding it an ‘Environmental Recommendation’ and declaring it the overall Test Winner.
The magazine described the tyre as “absolutely flawless” and commended its ability to “combine performance and sustainability at the highest level.” Test editors further stated “with the tyre’s fastest [wet] handling time, the Goodyear [tyre] underscores its excellent wet performance. It steers agilely and precisely, and exhibits a sporty, neutral overall setup; strong braking performance; on grippy asphalt, the Goodyear delivers the best results, it consistently builds up enormous grip and remains easily controllable,” adding “top values for wear and mileage, as well as low rolling resistance, strengthen its sustainability.”
Overall, they described the tyre as “without any weaknesses,” stating, “it comes out on top [of 10 competitors] and also proves to be the most durable tyre.”
In a third test by ADAC, Europe’s largest automobile association, the Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6 earned a “Good” rating in the environmental performance assessment. The experts commented on the Goodyear tyre: “It delivers good, predicted mileage in the wear test, its abrasion is low, and it also scores highly in terms of efficiency with its low weight and low fuel consumption”.
Auto Bild also awarded Goodyear’s EfficientGrip 2 SUV the title of ‘GREEN TIRE’ in its latest electric vehicle test, commenting on its “outstanding mileage”.
Auto Bild’s EV test assessed eight summer tyres in the popular 215/55R18 size, evaluating wet and dry performance, mileage, cost per mile and rolling resistance. The ‘GREEN TIRE’ award was based on criteria including mileage, coast-down testing, pass-by noise, rolling resistance, EU tyre label ratings, and transport route considerations.
