Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric

i had these tyres fitted because ive heard great reviews on them. ive now done about 6000 miles and these tyres are just brilliant. i cant find a fault with the tyres at all. they are super grippy in the dry and wet and dont let go in heavy cornering. the tyres are very grippy in the wet almost to a stage that you really dont change your driving style from dry conditions because they are so confidence inspiring. the comfort levels again are excellent and there is minimal tyre noise. i had them on during the winter snow and they held on ok, nothing great but they are ultra high perfomance SUMMER tyres. so they arent designed for snow so again no fault there. the only pain is that they are quite soft and due to this they wear down quite quickly and they are expensive so if you do high milage it could become costly. would highly recommend to anyone without a second thought as long as your willing to pay the higher asking price.

Teriible. I was advised to have these tyres on the S4 (V8) as they were the best suited for the car. Grip in both dry and wet were great. Road noise was minimal. The BIG downside is the longevity. 8000 miles - and I'm no Lewis Hamilton (well...not everyday!)
Would I buy again? NO. I would expect at least 12-15000 miles from a tyre.
Lookin3 or Falken 452's next.

Very good grip levels in dry and wet, 'though I would rate them behind the Michelin PS2 I had previously. Under hard acceleration, they can squirm about quite a bit, something I've not experienced with other tyres.

Great grip but let down by the wear

I did have Continental (they came with the car) and they never lasted more than 10,000 miles, tram0lined and were noisy. The GY F1 have done 15K on the front (just about to change them) and 20K on the back (still loads of tread)

Just had my car serviced and was told the rears have 3.5mm of tread left. They have now covered a total 30k and I think there is about 5k left as they are on the rear.

I really have been impressed by these Eagle F1A's not only is the tread pattern nice but the side walls are square and look good on the RS6 style alloys, plus they have worn evenly across both tyres.

Now the dry grip is superb but the real test for these tyres is how good they are in the wet and TBH they are excellent. I have had them on daily commute to work which is 74 miles and on the motorway they cruise nicely. On some of the A and B roads I have had them on they have been awesome in all conditions. I’m not going to write a review about how good they are or are not in snow as they are a SUMMER TYRE!

But regular high speed blasts on the motorway and A roads and they just inspire total confidence, grip and control. The ONLY downside of these tyres if any is the slightly high rolling resistance so for me it has been -2 mpg compared to some others I have tried before namely the PS2, but I regularly get 50+ mpg anyway.

Now its time for the Eagle F1A 2 in a few months.

Did run them in 235/40-18 front and 265/35-18 rear on my 528ia touring. The dry and wet grip is just fantastic and the wear is unbelieveable. Had them on for about 45´km rear and still run the front ones (now about 55´km). The only bad thing is they are a bit noisy. The best tire I did drive so far. Would buy them again 100%.

I fitted these tyres on the front of my 06 Golf GT (TDI 140). these have now covered 29k Miles & are not yet at the wear indicator, probalbly 0.5mm of legal tread left on these which could see me another 2k miles. they were at 3mm before the winter & that has seen me cover nearly 4k since October, 85% town driving.

i wouldnt consider anything else on this car quite frankly. However i do drive like captain sensisble

Bought full set after viewing this site 18months ago and have just fitted another set after 19000miles (wheels rotated midway- unintentional but will prob do again) average motoring incl some 5000 towing a caravan.Have had several cars with large low profiles,mainly BMWs .Dont know if Ford have the steering set up especially sorted but with this car/tyre combination I do not get the wandering on uneven,cambered roads that has been such a pain in the past.Well satisfied!
