Testers recognized the consistent performance of Goodyear’s range of premium summer tires throughout its thorough tests of some of the market’s most popular brands.

The magazine presents this prestigious award to the tire manufacturer that has achieved the best overall result of the summer test season.

Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6 is Goodyear’s latest ultra-high performance (UHP) tire designed for a wide range of cars, including the latest EVs and SUVs. During a recent test, Auto Bild described the tire as having “exemplary performance on wet and dry slopes [with] outstanding mileage4.” The tire ranked first place out of 50 other summer tires while also being named "Eco-Master" for its efficiency. Goodyear’s test winner was the only tire in the test to receive only positive feedback.

The tire also ranked on the podium during Auto Bild sportscars’ test5, hailed for its sporty and direct handling “with good feedback, well-balanced, good safety reserves in the event of aquaplaning, short wet and dry braking distances, quiet passing noise [and] fuel-saving rolling resistance.”

Meanwhile, Goodyear’s EfficientGrip 2 SUV earned an “exemplary” rating in Auto Bild allrad’s test (225/65R17)6. The testers commented that the tire has “well-balanced, safe driving characteristics, good aquaplaning reserves, short wet braking distances, good off-road capability [and] good comfort.”

Laurent Colantonio, Regional Technology Director EMEA, Goodyear: “We are delighted to have been named Auto Bild’s summer tire manufacturer of the year for a second consecutive year. The award recognizes the constant pursuit of performance that we are building into every Goodyear design. Auto Bild’s testing methodology is among the most thorough in the industry, both in terms of the performance criteria and the number of tires that are compared. Our current tire range represents an outstanding level of technical excellence and this award underlines the ability of our team to develop and manufacture tires that optimize vehicle performance across all summer driving conditions.”
