Had these on my car for about 2000miles. Have to say for a brand I didn't know anything about I'm very pleased, enough to say I wouldn't use another tyre again.
They have a very distinctive look/tread pattern. The also have a good solid sidewall which gives very good resonse and feedback. I also notice when i first had them that this had the effect of stiffening the ride too.
Dry weather grip is tremendous, and wet weather grip almost as good. Only downside, if there is one, is can be a little noisier than some, but the overall performance of these more than makes up for that.

These F1 Asymetrics replaced the original Conti Sport 2 abot 18 months ago. In all aspects the Goodyears are vastly superior.
There is much more grip and at the limit they are very progressive which makes accessing the cars power (chipped to 270hp) so much easier, there is no feeling of these tyres are going to 'suddenly let go'. There is no knife-edge at the point of breakaway.
In the wet they are even better. It is amazing how much you can lean on these tyres even in appalling conditions.
Did some laps of the Nurburgring in pouring rain, I could concentrate on driving the track rather than worrying about what grip I had for each corner!!
Most of my miles are on the motorway so I've got 22000 miles out of them, same as the Conti's. I was expecting more.
Will definitely have Goodyear F1 Asynetric again

Had eagle f1's which last all of 9000miles and cost £83 a corner . Opted for these as a high end budget tyre for £49 corner and very impressed. 85% as good as the f1's but less road noise and better wear would def recommend: i am trying the Kumho eu31 ecsta sports next. Very good value for money.

A friend of mine recommended I try these tyres after my Goodyear Eagle F1 GSD3s wore out and I couldn't find the right size in the new version. These tyres are nothing short of amazing, I was a bit worried at first as I'd never heard of the company and they seemed quite slippy at first but 50 miles in these gripped like nothing else and gave amazing steering feel!

This specific size of tyre gave a terrific result. Excellent dry grip on my Focus ST II, pretty decent wet grip. Only drawback was I had to change front tyres after 4k miles as the inner half was absolutely flat. I would buy them again hands down though!

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.
