Vast improvement on RE050a run flat OEMs. Better steering feel, massively better in wet, quieter and more comfortable - really improves how an already great car drives. Wear at this early stage also looks pretty good.

They seem to produce a never ending stream of grip, in both the dry and the wet.

Impressive stopping power, as well as complimenting my cars steering response too. Will buy again.

ive been driving now for 22yrs and i can honestly say they are by far the best tyres ive ever experienced ,especially in wet conditions they hold the road exceptionally well.travelling has become more comfortable compared to other tyres would highly recommend and certainly buy again .FIRST CLASS************

Had the F1s fitted to my SL, 3 years ago, replacing the rubbish Continentals .. To say my car was transformed, is an understatement, just reversing it off the ramps, I could feel the difference .. Take my word for it, these F1s are Awesome .. Dry handling, ride comfort and feedback are all outstanding, but where this tyre comes into it's own, is in the wet (very useful in the U.K.) There seems to be no limit to it's grip and stopping power .. I must agree though, with a previous poster, that after standing overnight, these tyres do need 3 or 4 miles to warm up and even out, and you do notice it .. So far, I have covered 20,000 miles mixed driving with them and there is around 4 or 5 thousand miles left in them, with no apparent deterioration .. Would I buy these tyres again ? .. Is the Pope, catholic ?

Only had the tyres for about 2 months now but the difference can be felt instantly. These tyres are simply amazing, they make the tyres I previously had (Toyo T1-S) feel very average . The dry grip is fantastic, but in the wet they are untouchable. The tyres make the car hugely exploitable in the bends and perhaps offer more sheer grip than handling but still approach their limit with no fuss making it obvious when you are pushing too hard. All in all it feels like a new car, handles like its on rails, just wish they were available in more sizes but I suppose they will come in time. Would definitely buy again.

Stiffer sidewalls than the GSD3 means they feel better on the car. Still got the legendary dry and wet grip, just a bit more noisy than before.

Love them!!!

Owner of a Noble (not listed in the drop box) which had SO'3 tyres on it as standard. The factory recommends Pirelli as a direct replacement but as i do not like this brand i chose the Goodyears.
I have owned F1's on other cars and been totally happy, and the F1A's have not disappointed yet.
It is very hard to compare worn out tyres with new so i will try to be as subjective as possible.
The dry performance is great, good feedback and plenty of grip. On good tarmac and a hot day in Cornwall scratching round the country lanes i have been totally impressed but just how grippy the front end is. The sidewall is harder than i was used to, but no bad thing. The road noise is more than the SO3's they replace, but not deafening.
I have not been in wet conditions yet to give a detailed report, nor can i gauge wear.
