Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric

Part worn Continentals gave a very hard ride and unbearable tyre roar.

Michelin Sport SP2 were a great improvement, but could still be quite hard and certain types of bumps, and produced an intrusive, high-frequency, tyre roar on anything other than perfect modern asphalt.

Enter Goodyear F1 Asymmetrics! At the optimal pressures, these give an amazingly smooth comfortable ride. Tyre noise is much reduced. Stone and course surfaces produce little more than a low frequency rumble.

If you have a sport saloon and want a quiet, comfortable ride, Goodyear F1 Asymmetrics are highly recommended.

So far done 10k with these on the front of a heavy front wheel drive diesel and they are down to 6mm. Superb!

Good points.

Seem to work with car well, better than oem re050 rft and a step up from FK452.
Plenty of grip in the wet and dry, no more than other tyres, but a wider yet enjoyable limit is noticeable in the wet and cold! Safer in winter, and more fun.
Wear is ok, similar to FK452 and RE050.

Bad points.
Expensive vs FK452 tyres, but still cheaper than RFT RE050!
Still not as sharp responding as the RE050 RFT oem tyre, but obviously none of the RFT's nasty lateral movement either.


Would get again, just want to try Bridgestone S001 next (similar price, but much newer tyre)

Excellent in the dry but outstanding in the wet!

its very gut tyre. the best of the curve.

Replaced the Bridgestone Potenza run flats with these tyres (fronts went very quickly on the Bridgestones!) Much more flexible and a good replacment - more progressive - especially in the wet, however the rears have lasted not as well this time round less than 20,00 miles on motorways mostly. Found the fronts were very sensitive to suspension geometry and scrubbed a lot of the outer shoulders off - despite spot on toe-in etc.

Replaced the previous OEM Contis. Also had Avon tyres previously, and must say that these tyres are both quieter than both.

Dry grip is exceptional. Wet grip is no better that the Avon tyres previoulsy fitted, however, I was pleased with the Avon tyres.

Comfort is also greatly improved. However, I have paid to have these tyres filled with nitogen, which apparently imrpoves comfort therefore it is not a direct comparison with my previous tyres which were filled with good old "normal" air.

Would recommend these tyres to anyone, especially if one drives "spirited". My car has been remapped to circa 300hp and the cornering grip when pushing hard is excellent, especially when nearing the limit.

Now done 11K miles and still have approx 5mm tread, which is not as good as the Avons, but a little improvement on the Continetals.

On the whole, my favourite tyre to date.

Replaced my Conti sport 3 with these GY Eagle F1 following excellent reviews and I wasn't disappointed. Got them on the internet at a good price and very pleased.
Very quiet ride, very responsive and sure footed. I'm a careful driver so must admit these are not being driven to their limits but I have total confidence that if I need to stop quickly or corner sharply then these will deliver..
