February 5, 2020
Wet braking is only one aspect of a tyres performance, and the EU label tests are done under a very specific condition. The Asymmetric 5 is an improvement over the three in many ways, you can see more information here.
What are these tyres like in snow and icy conditions, thank you.
November 26, 2019
The Asymmetric 3 is a summer tyre, and as such will have a very poor level of grip in snow and ice compared to all season and winter tyres.

Yes, it's a great replacement. The J version of the tyre is likely the Jaguar OE specific version of the tyre, so try and get one that isn't OE marked.

I believe they are all XL in that load and speed rating, however it's worth double checking you're not looking at OE versions of the tyre.

1. My local tyre place suggests non-RF Goodyear Eagle F1 AS3- as first line on the drivers door sill plate reads '225/40 R 18 92 M&S XL' and according to him the G/Ys are only ones rated as 'extra load'. Do you think this is the best tyre to reduce NVH and improve ride (I don't mind the trade-off)
2. Another dealer stated that the XL isn't as important as the '92' load rating which opens the options to range of other tyres e.g. Pirelli P Zeros; Continentals; Michelin PSS. Is this correct, and if so which would you choose if the priority is to reduce NVH and improve ride?
Many thanks Andrew Show less
December 27, 2018
Your dealer is correct, the 92 is the important part, not XL. Many people switch from the runflats to the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 3 and speak extremely positive of the improvements they bring.

March 28, 2018
Personally I would go for the A3, put them on the rear and wear through whatever is left as quickly as possible on the front so I can have 4 matching tyres.
Are these run flat tyres?

The F1 A3 and MPS4 are very closely matched. We've not yet driven them back to back, but would say the F1 A3 would have the slight edge in comfort, and the MPS4 the edge in sporty handling.

September 16, 2016
Sadly we've not yet driven on the Asymmetric 3! One thing to watch out for is that replacing just the rear tyres with the Goodyears could give the car a curious rear-steering feel due to the difference in sidewall strengths between the hard Bridgestone tyres, and the softer Goodyears.

Both the latest Dunlop and the Goodyear are extremely similar tyres, you'll be happy with either. We would always side with the Goodyear as we feel longer term the availability would be better.

I think the Efficientgrip is the older design yet has the better fuel efficiency and same wet braking distance. I am surprised by this. It is also cheaper by £10 from Blackcircles. Does the labeling stay consistent such that you can compare older tyer designs against new ones. Why would you buy the Asymmetric 3 over the Efficientgrip?

August 27, 2016
The label tests do stay constant. Wet braking is only one performance quality of a tyre, and while it's entirely possible the F1 Asymmetric 3 and EG Performance to have the same wet braking grade, the Asymmetric 3 will have a better balance of overall qualities when you account for wet handling, aquaplaning, dry braking, dry handling etc.
What does 94y and 98y mean and what is the differance
May 30, 2016
The 94 and 98 are the load ratings for the Asymmetric 3 tyre. 94 means each tyre is rated to carry 670 kgs, and 98 750 kgs. As a rule of thumb, the high load rating tyre will create slightly more noise, have a slightly harder ride, but will offer a more sporty steering feel.
is the goodyear F1 AS3 directional
May 6, 2016
The Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 3 is an asymmetric tyre, not directional
Is it true the side wall height has increased on the 3 vs the 2?
April 27, 2016
As with all Goodyear tyres, the Asymmetric 3 is within ETRTO (European Tyre & Rim Technical Organisation) guidelines, which does allow for a small variation on side wall height. Whether the size increases or decreases can depend on the size.
Will the 3 be N rated for Porsche, Cayman GTS specifically, like the 2?
April 26, 2016
A reply from Goodyear - We continuously work with OEM partners to develop OE Marked versions of the Eagle F1 Asymmetric 3, the tyre is currently approved on the Jaguar XF (J Marked) and the Mercedes-Benz E-Class (MO Marked). The tire will only be N rated if we gain an approval on a Porsche platform.
When can we expect a test with the pilot sport 4, sport contact 6 and the asymmetric 3?
March 24, 2016
You're unlikely to see the Sport Contact 6 in a test with the Pilot Sport 4 due to the sizes they're made in, the Continental rivals the Pilot Super Sport.
The best test so far this year is the GTU test, however that missed the Michelin.
Is it true that asymmetric 3 has a smaller rim protection than asymmetric 2?
March 24, 2016
Just as an update to this question, we have been in contact with Goodyear regarding the rim protection on the Asymmetric 3 and the answer should be with us shortly!
Owners broadly agree the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 3 delivers strong all-round performance, with particularly high confidence in dry and wet grip, and many noting a quieter, smoother ride than previous fitments. Comfort and low noise are frequent highlights, and a good number also report it feels secure and capable when pushed on dry roads. The main reservations are that tread life and steering feel can be hit-and-miss (raised by around a quarter of owners), while around one in ten specifically complain of overly soft sidewalls and a small but notable minority report puncture vulnerability.

I had OE Bridgestone Potenza Summer UHP before on my Mazda 3, and they were very stiff and very harsh on bumps and not comfortable at all.. after replacing to asymmetric 3 i feel like i have gained on comfort without sacrificing the handling at all, it feels sharp on dry and confident on wet
Comfort is terrible, too easy to damage and sidewalls are too fragile, ok otherwise but wouldn't recommend if you live in an area with a lot of potholes and rough roads. Noise levels are not good in motorway speeds. Couldnt notice any significant change on this over time.
Check out how the BEST all seasons tyres perform against premium summer and winter tyres!
I've these tyres originally with my car, front size 245/40R19 and rear size 275/35R19. I've driven them for a bit above 15k miles (25k km) and I'm now changing them due to age (DOT year 2019) and not tread dept. During their age, I've not seen any meaningful degradation of their road presence - grip, breaking, handling, etc.
The majority of their life they have been driven calmly and not sporty. I've not went on motor track to bring them to the limit, though they have seen a couple of times a good, hot summer spirited driving.
They stick well on the dry and on the wet, I have never had any issues with the grip, over/under steering or aquaplaning.
My only issue with these tyres is noise and comfort. My winter tyres are 245/45R18 Bridgestone Blizzak LM005 and with them I'm driving a totally different car.
With the GoodYear I'm sitting on the tarmac and feeling and hearing every little pebble.
I wanted to change them with PremiumContact 7, but unfortunately on this sizes only "sport" tyres are available.
I was thinking to put SportContact7, but then the Pirelli PZ5 came out of factory and won every test, so now I'm looking to put these. Once I've some miles on them will leave a review as well. Hopefully, they will be more comfortable than the GoodYear.
Which tyres do you drive?
Researching the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 3? Rate the tyres you actually drive - and help the next buyer choose.
These tires came with the new car in 2016 they have been every thing I would hope for on a sports car , I have not raced the car but have done my share of fun driving , It sticks to the road like its on rails. Have not had any other tires on this car but need to get new ones this summer. These are runflats, not sure if I will get the runflats again but had no trouble with them . Most of the time the car was used in warm sunny weather with the top down, and some cooler nights and some wet weather as well no snow and or ice ever. never on gravel just paved streets and highways. Mostly driving at posted speed limits that very from one place to another.
The tyres from the moment I bought them transformed the car grip and handling. It felt more engaging driving and fun. Mountain driving became more footed and the car invited you to roll at a higher pace. Breaking and accelerating were also improved. The only downside was (Comming from Hankook) wet performance was a bit worse. Not a problem just worst. And aquaplaning happened faster than the Hankook, otherwise stellar tyres. But since I live in Spain, could not care less for the trade-off.
Completely deformed tyres after 1 year of usage. Try to balance them 2 times, but after some kilometers you still can feel terrible shaking, strongly don't recommend this tire to anyone. I'm very disappointed with Goodyear, I will not buy Goodyear tires anymore for sure.
Unfortunately, the tire is not OK. The wet grip is also bad. Not good on wet surfaces, the limits are way down. Wear is bad. Front tire wears down to 2mm after 5,500 km, disappointing.
Lasted nearly 50.000km. It could go about 10.000-15.000km more but one of my tyre was punctured by my mistake. I can't say that the grip is perfect fit for the I-pace. Maybe its about me, because I drive this car low speed but l always do 0-60km launch whenever the place is available. When l did launch I always feel like unsafe in this car. Rest of the fact is perfect for me. Highly recommended expect the dry grip if you like doing fast launch .
I'm on my second one set of these run flat tyres now. First set... front did 32000, rear 24000. Great wear and grip compared to a previous Pirelli set. Great tyres and fabulous mileage for a large car.

Rim protection edges are a great feature but the most impressive aspect of the tyre is how soft the ride is especially on 20" run flats. Excellent dry grip and handling yet low wear is a great technical achievement. Iv had pireli p4 and Brighstones previously. The lower road noise is noticeable and appreciated. Maybe there's even better options out there, i dont know any, but these tyres suit the bmw 530e wonderfully.
Initially the tyres were decent on both dry and wet roads however after only 9500 miles they're down to 3mm which for the price is dissaponting..The performance dropped off significantly when under 5mm. By which I mean they have never been dangerous just lost their controlled grip... Don't think I'd buy them again due to lack of value for money and low mileage.
