Across driver feedback, the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 2 is widely praised as a confidence-inspiring UHP summer tyre with standout wet grip, strong dry grip/braking, and a noticeably quieter, more comfortable ride than many OEM-fit rivals (especially when replacing run-flats). Many owners also highlight stable high-speed manners, predictable breakaway, and reduced tramlining. The most consistent drawbacks are faster-than-expected wear for some drivers and a softer sidewall feel that can reduce steering sharpness, with a notable subset also reporting sidewall bulges/damage sensitivity on rough, pothole-prone roads (particularly with run-flat fitments).

Sidewall crack all around the tyre appeared on one of my set of Goodyear eagle F1 AS2, when there are still 4mm tread depth, after 3 year on the road (tire manufactured in year 2013). If you google Goodyear Eagle sidewall crack you will see that there are lots of reported case of sidewall crack.
Had previously run with Goodyear because of good review, they were noisy on concrete motorway.
Had never had a puncture, and always inflating to recommended pressure. The sidewall crack came about causing a slow leak on the tyre. Now the Goodyears were all replaced with Avon tyres, immediately felt quieter and hopefully will last.
Fit these around two years ago to replace some very worn Pirelli tyres on the front. They were exceptionally good in the beginning with great feedback and grip, even in the wet. The car drove like it was on rails and could be pushed.
The issue I have is that these tyres have worn much quicker than expected, which is a surprise on a relatively low-powered car. I only managed to get 8k from them before the grip and feel seemed to fall off a cliff.
The tyres are now less inspiring, wandering a lot and spinning up in dry or wet conditions - understeer is now a relatively common threat.
They were fantastic to begin with, but I'm ultimately disappointed in having to replace them after so little when other tyres have lasted much longer.

Did 35,000 miles over 3 years before replacing. As they got older they did loose the sharpness on turn in and had to be replaced because the outside edges wore but the majority of the tread was still probably 2-3mm
Had a rear set of 255/35/18 on at the same time. These wore more evenly and were only close to the wear bar, not down to it, when I changed the whole set.
Swapped for Michelin pilot sport 4's, so can only hope they are as good.
Excellent grip in dry and wet conditions. In terms of noisy levels, I would say that were OK. The front tyres lasted less than 6,000 miles and therefore I had to bring the back tyres in front. I tried them for second time and I kept the front tyres until the "change levels". That was at 7.200 miles where I bought a new pair. So I am not satisfied at all of the weariness. My next choice was Michelin Pilot sport 3.
I've driven several tyres over the years. My car came with Pirelli Cinturato's. After that I've tried Continental Sport Contact and Dunlop Sport Maxx. But the Goodyear Eagle F1 Assy 2 are the ones for me. I had to get used to the tyres the first week, but after that it was perfect! A very good tyre in both dry and wet conditions.

Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymetrical 2, overall great tyre. Had them on the car for 50,000km. I would definitely buy them again, and recommend them to everyone.
I have been using these tyres for years and my Audi a4 b6 avant has no competitors on roundabouts and road grip itself at any legal or ilegal speed absolut dream u can push it very very hard words can't describe it trust my car and tyres 100% and i am a hard to please person. People driving with me are always amazed as well. Attention they are about to sell out the last tyres as one of my mates told me in tyre shop and seems like they are not making them so basically they won't be long in stock online either it's just a matter of time.
God overall feel and grip. The wear is a bit disappointing compared to previous tyres I have had from premium brands. Wet grip has started to deteriorate at 3.5mm, but before this was probably one of the best I have experienced. The rim protection is a must in my opinion if buying.
I live in Thailand and am about to purchase my third set of EF1 A2. I had made in China and Thailand versions of this tire before. The current one is made in Germany and lasted 40% longer than the other two!! Same car similar driving style. All three sets on my Beemer performed as indicated. Driving during heavy downpours in monsoon time is something that is done with confidence. The car also keeps its course well when conducting sudden evasive actions, dry or wet. The EF1 A3 is not yet available here till early next year so I am told. I will therefore replace my tires with another set of A2s (made in Germany again). I highly recommend Eagle F1 Asymmetric 2 for anyone driving in (semi) tropical conditions!
