Grip is excellent with these tyres, in both wet and dry conditions. They are also cheaper than comparable Bridgestones and Michelins. The tyre is also much quieter than earlier Goodyear Eagle F1's.
However wear rate is not good. After 8000 miles on the front of my car they were finished. I replaced them with a set of Falken FK-452 which seem to grip equally as well but seem to be wearing a lot better.

Had a set of 185/65/R14 BF Goodrich and they were markedly better than the Michelins I has on there previously. Got the Eagles with my alloys and nearly crashed the car on the first drive. Got so much more grip off the first roundabout I took that I nearly rear ended someone.

Wear wise I put just over 25k miles on the first set to get them to the markers, regular rotation, heavy acceleration from junctions but mostly motorway miles.

My only criticisim of this tyre would be its appauling snow/hail handling characteristics. I was the middle of three cars going round a 90 degree corner near my house. I was the one that ended up sideways in the road when the back end left me.

On the flip side, I would say that its wet grip is practically on par with its dry grip. They handle standing water VERY well.

So the moral is that they are great unless you live somewhere with snow. Then you better have an understanding insurance company or a higher power looking after you.

A good all round tyre.

Due to the popularity a number of grey imports are around. Ensure yours are made in China, and carry an E with a circle around it.

Quite simply a revelation after using cheaper rubber. Not particularly progressive towards the limit but huge grip makes up for it. Quite quiet compared to other makes too. One negative is that I found it punctures easily, but that may be because of the low profile.

OE were Bridgestones but changed as recommended to these. Driven other MXs with other rubber but haven't found anything better wet/dry.Squirmy cornering at real speed with 28 pressures but combined with PureDrive suspension and a Deuce are a real joy at 30. Tried the Hancook RS2s in someone elses car for a week and they were close for grip but were not as confidence inspiring.GSD3s are okish for comfort/noise but who cares? Lasted 12K so far. Seriously good value.

Impressive grip, but the absolutely abysmal wear rate (they lasted less than 8k miles) means I won't be going there again.

Very good grip in wet and dry: Gove the car lost of feel but the melted on my car lasting 8k on the front... Lots of road noise as well. May buy again but pricing for the miles you get out of them alot of hype for these but they did not live up in my opinion. Get contis if you are speading this sort of money.

The tyres needed replacement at 12000 miles. I drive mainley motorway's and as I have opted out of the company car option and run my own car I do drive in a carefull and considerate manner . If I do not look after the car its money out of my own pocket. The car originally came with Michelin Pilots and I got 28000 out of them. Have now gone back to Michelins, they were £13 more expensive each than the Goodyears but I am sure I will get much better life from the tyre. I also noted the mpg dropped by 3 to 4 miles per gallon straight after the Goodyears were fitted .

I drive a mk4 Toyota supra TT running approx 400bhp and have had these tyres for about 18 months now. When I first bought the car over 2 years ago the car came fitted with Bridgestone potenza's all round and I had no problems with them until things got wet. The first day in the rain with the Bridgestone’s I came to a 90 degree left turn accelerating gently and the tyres just lost grip uncontrollably and the car spun over 180 degrees before coming to a stop, suffice to say, I decided to change tyres. I bought the Goodyear Eagle F1 GSD3's after reading many different tyre reviews and I must say I was quite amazed by the dry grip of these tyres but the real test was the wet road handling. When I first drove the car in the wet the grip compared to the Bridgestone’s was simply amazing, they allowed me to accelerate comfortable round bends with no issues and when they do let go they do so in a controlled manner and allow you time to sort things out, unlike the Bridgestone’s. You do get plenty feedback from these tyres aswel, enough to be able to control the car well and feel the road, however, I don’t think this is the Goodyear’s strong point. I have also noticed that these tyres are louder on the road than most I have used in the past but it's a small price to pay for all that grip.

it is the best tyre i bought the last 5 years,even i had v speed indication while i needed h i ve being very satisfying from the wet grip when i tried to stop from a speed of 150 km/h i did it safe and without any problem.

I brought a set of these and from the word go was unhappy with the noise. After a few thousand miles i started to get a pulsing road noise and eventually took the car to Audi suspecting a UJ or something. Audi said both front tyres were badly misshapen !! after just 4000 miles. Driving this car now is like being back in an Army Land rover as the tyres pulse at 50mph and resonate right through the car. Worst tyres i have ever had !

Tyres felt much better than the NCT5s on it as standard. Dry grip very impressive, wet grip ok but very progressive. Accelerating away from a standstill is poor with these tyres, loads of wheelspin in the wet.
Rear tyres have worn unevenly with 'scalloping' and now make a terrific amount of noise (however tracking was out). After 10,000 miles rears all now on 4mm and fronts need replacing. As a comparison, same driving style, the NCT5's part worn lasted 20,000 miles. Would not buy again.

Awesome tyres! I've had them on the last 3 cars I owned and each time they improved the car more which is impressive.

Even in the wet they grip well but your still able to slide the car but still be in control as well which really does make them such a good tyre in my mind. I have told other fellow like minded drivers to buy these, they have and they too have stuck to these since. Great Tyre!

Much, much better than the Yokohamas they replaced in every respect. In the wet they are safe as houses, whereas the Yokohamas were absolutely horrible. Quieter on the motorway too. After 3000 miles, I can't yet comment on the wear rate, but all in all, I'm impressed. Others have said they're not good in the snow - I drove 4 miles in snow the day there were fitted, so that's not really a fair test!

Tyres look good on car and give reasonable dry grip. Wheel spin is a major problem with these tyres and despite having 4wd car still struggles to get away from lights swiftly without drama in both dry and wet conditions. Usually results in traction control cutting inn and loss of power not what I was expecting from this car with a premium brand tyre fitted. Can only praise this tyre for its ability to resist aqua-planing.

I thought these tyres where amazing.

They allowed me to brake later, harder and carry more speed through corners and corner tighter. The grip from a standing start was amazing.
They corrected a lot of understeer and gave more feedback.

Road noise wasnt a problem for me.

They easily out perform the likes of Yoko Parada and Toyo Proxees.

these tyres are very good in dry conditions and very controlable on the edge, where these tyres excel is in wet conditions where there is super human grip and disperses the water extremely well. very good under heavy braking to. good rate of wear they last a lot longer than my old conti sport's, there is some road noise but again very good.

The amount of grip generated by these tyres is remarkable especially in the wet, I drive a lot of twisty roads and have the confidence to push the limits of them without fear. Instant turn in without any hassle and very stable even under heavy load. Done a couple of trackdays with them as well and they have lasted well, they usually last around 15,000 on the front and about 12,000 at the rear. An absolutly fantastic tyre that I will not hesitate to buy again

These tyres are good for both wet and dry handling, and the grip can be astonishing, but in my opinion as a warm weather tyre.
In the cold, wheelspin is a real problem, and during cold (doesn't have to be that cold either) weather they take about 2 to 4 miles to lose the flat spot where they have stood overnite.
If your a high mileage driver thats probably small potatoes, but for a commute to work, i am halfway there before they are round.

As a track day tyre they are very unpredictable, they gave no indication of limits grip when cornering causing a very twitchy rear (front wheel drive). I tried changing the pressures but still no responsive feed back. They began to bead after a short while. On the road however they are pretty good I previously used Falkens which were rubbish in wet or dry ,then tried Bf Goodrich which were a vast improvment to which I would say were about the same as the Eagles going to try Toyos next will submit a review next year.

Not the most durable, also not cheapest to buy. Everything else very good!

great for getting the tail out, break away smoothly and comes back in without drama....great fun on roundabouts without worrying of ending up facing backwards...

look great too :)

Another good road tyre, never driven on track with this tyre but not heard great things, need to try for myself though! Warm up quickly on the road and are an easy going tyre with nice and progresive breakaway, plenty of wet grip and above average in the dry. Look the part and not too expensive either!

I must be alone in the world on this: I thought they were rubbish, absolute rubbish. They gave no grip at all compared to the (original) Michelin Pilot Sports (not PS2s) that preceded them. They were especially horrid in the wet.

Definitely a tyre bought for looks, and not for grip in my experience.

A very good all round road tyre, very impressive in the wet.
