Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric

I have always liked Goodyear Eagles having had them on a number of previous cars but I have to say that these have been quite bad on road noise and have not lasted anywhere near as long as I expected. I have now fitted Michelin Pilot 3's and there is a drastic reduction in road noise and feedback appears tgo be improved.

Superb tyres the dry grip is very impressive in a straight line and going in and out of bends. Wet grip is the best I have yet experienced in a staright line and going in and out bends gives you so much confidence to push the car a little more and very progressive on the limits too. Never experienced any problems or aquaplaning and shifts standing water really well. After 5k of use still have 7mm tread on the front and no wear on the rears.

A very good tyre for the price. Have lasted around 8000 miles on the front axle, which included a mix of motorway miles and a fair few spirited miles on A & B roads. Also includes one trackday! Good in the wet - have never experienced problems with aquaplaning. They can tramline quite extremely when the tread reaches about 3mm.

The Lexus GS is often marked down in reviews for poor ride quality and road noise. Both these issues are greatly improved, and perhaps completely solved, with the Goodyear F1 Assymetic tyres. Mine was supplied by Lexus with Yokohama Advan tyres, which gave a hard bumby ride and loud harsh road roar on course road surfaces. On changing to Goodyear Assymetric tyres one hardly recognises it as the same car. The ride is smooth and softer, and tyre noise is only significant on course surfaces at motorway speeds but even then is not harsh. Its a transformation, and it only surprises me that Lexus chose tyres which seem so poorly suited to the car, leading to unnecessary criticism.
Lexus is about stress-free luxury motoring- I dont drive like the Stig so I cannot comment on grip with these tyres but other reviews give them good marks on that issue as well.

These tyres came into their own the other night when on the motorway at 4am it suddenly started to absolutely hammer it down with rain at 100 mph + these were as sure footed as ever and so stable gave me so much confidence. But then the down pour got so bad I had to slow down to about 60 mph as the car started to aquaplane as the motorway was soaked and it was difficult to see due to so much hard falling rain. Eventually the rain tailed off and I got onto a decent stretch of country road and again I put these tyres to the test and they were superb complete confidence in high speed cornering and very progressive up to the limit. I have read lots of reviews of the wet capability of this tyre and have now had first hand experience was extremely satisfied with the performance excellent tyre form Goodyear.

I fitted these tyres as a replacment/upgrade to the front goodyear excellence i had on. grip was better but wear was worse! absolutly lethal in temps under 5 degrees as they went rock solid, shame i put them on in october for the duration of the big freeze. summer tyre!!!! they may have worn more quickly due to the conditions really really dangerous on cold icy roads!!! great on dry hot roads witch would account for no more thana 25% of my experience with them!! i am replacing the whole set of tyres for toyo proxes t1r's due to price and the look of them! i dont drive the car as much as my partner and i dont drive aas fast! i cant justify payin £260 for two front tyres at kwikfit when they last 10,000 short miles (yeh you can get them cheaper and all the rest!!!) so do it!!! great tyre for fast summer driving not good for taking children to school in winter!!! 90% of time you won't feel the benefit of them over the normal harder wearing goodyear excellence!!! imo.
