Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 2

This is great example of how the contemporary tyres are improved over the previous generation in every area, left aside feedback. Replacing the SportContact3, a tyre that really suited my driving style and my car's dynamic characteristics, was a gamble between the brand new SportContact5 and the F1 that paid off at the end, especially considering the noticeable improvement over the wear, at least 20% over the conti. Probably the only reason for grumbling is the limited amound of feedback, a deliberate choice in order to offer high level of comfort.

Great tires. Replaced my Dunlop SP Sport 01 tyres with these and i now feel much more safe around high speed turn-ins both in the dry and wet. Can't say anything about wear yet as they are still pretty new. These tyres have soft sidewalls, so you still get pretty much comfort with them especially on bumpy roads. Silent, too. A very good combination, perfect all-rounder for an everyday driver.

A great all-around tire for those among us with a desire towards sporty driving. I found these tires to handle wet conditions comparable to dry conditions. This is not to say that they lack performance in dry, it's to say that they really shine in wet conditions. Ideal for places with a wetter climate. The only thing I found somewhat lacking was the wear. After 3 rotations and around 20,000km, I noticed considerable loss in wear - the traction and performance didn't suffer as much as the legislation though. On the one hand this is to be expected from a high performing tire but in the long run it might be worth considering something with a smaller price tag, if you're not really an everyday-racer =)

drive tvr tuscan s got the earlier f1 on the front which is good , the new asymmetric 2 on the rear , im immediately changing them , the sidewall is very soft which has ruined the handling ,in fact its the worse tyre i have had on this car as the roll when entering and exiting a corner at moderate pace is awfull, yokohama 255/35zr18 arriving next week,for this reason i would recommend you look elswhere i will update once i have the yokohama .

Bought these tyres on the strength of several online and magazine reviews to replace the front set of new Vredestein Vorti's following side wall damage (wife's fault!!). VERY impressed with the Vorti's, which had excellent grip and feel in all weather.
By comparison the Eagle F1's are awful and more expensive!!!! Poor grip out and through corners, average grip when breaking suddenly. They look ok and the comfort is better than the Vorti's but i would not buy again.
How i'd rate my tyres over the past few years:
1. Vredestein Vorti (Skoda Octavia vRS)
2. Michelin Pilot Sport 3 (Seat Leon FR)
3. Vredestein Ultrac Sessanta (Skoda Octavia vRS)
4. Vredestein Ultrac Cento (Skoda Octavia vRS)
5. Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 2 (Skoda Octavia vRS)
6. Continental Sport Contact 2 (Seat Leon FR)

BMW 320d Touring 190BHP. 225/45/17 All round great tyre. Most suitable for the the average driver as it looks after you in the wet and dry and is very progressive. If you want to push it, you'll notice the soft sidewalls which are more curved on the outside of the tyre, I presume to counteract sidewall movement on turn in. However they still feel a bit woolly. Tyre wear was a shock 9k on NSR 11k OSR. I assume that its roundabouts and right hand bends on country lanes. That cost the 2k. Wife drives it 50/50 with me. I try look after tyre life and look for maximum cornering speeds. The car averages between us about 42mpg. its been 4 wheel aligned, wears all 4 tyres evenly has polybushes and is lowered slightly. So the wear is surprisingly bad when they are pushed. Maybe i should look for a tyre that is more responsive wears better but isnt progressive and forgiving and doesnt grip as well (longer life)?? For the road...? dont think so. You cant have it all at the same time and these tyres deliver a lot in each area but the cost is tyre life.

This tyre is excellent.. no, fantastic! no words to discribe..

I even went on the nurburgring with these tyres and the performance and grip were unbelievable good!

this is my 2nd time i have bought these one's and i'll never buy any other..

after driving with these tyres for 53000km it has about 3.2mm thread left. wear is very good (inflated 41psi). even wear across tyre. goes through puddles of water on curve with confidence at about 100km/h. love these tyres but apparently they are not available anymore in sydney. going for the goodyear directional 5 soon.

After loads of research I decided on the GY F1 Asy 2 tyres as the best without going too crazy with my budget. The existing tyres were unknown brands with the fronts being well worn. Putting the GY on the front, the car immediately came to life, great feedback, excellent steering, reduction in road noise and an immediate 8-10% decrease in fuel consumption (but only when my wife is driving!). These tyres do what they say - Excellent for noise, fuel consumption, grip - but still have to be tested for wear. Here's hoping.

Very impressed with these tyres so far. Extremely good grip in the dry and funnily enough they grip just as well in the wet (very important as I live in Scotland!). The best term I can use to describe this is 'confidence-inspiring', on the limit the tyres feel like they are really working for you and suit the Quattro drivetrain of my TTS perfectly. Even my wife who is car-naive brought this up.

Compared to the stock P-Zero Rosso's supplied by the factory, the Goodyears are noticably quieter and comfort levels are improved also. Quieter tyres such as these means my wife can enjoy her Sports Exhaust note alot more. She is also squeezing an extra 15-20 miles out of each tank of petrol, which is nice considering how expensive petrol is these days! Too early to say about long term wear, but after 1000 miles they still look new!

I bought these tyres after reading rave reviews on this site and noticing it tops the tables in the user reviews, whilst also winning a recent Premium Tyre challenge by a UK motoring magazine. Will definitely buy these again.
