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.

Had them on the rear of my GT86 and they were useless compared the Yokohamas that were on there. Yes they were slightly quieter but the grip was a lot less. I moved them straight to the front of the car. Now there is not as much grip up front but thats better than death trap at the back. Now I can just feel them understeering in the fast bends where the yokohamas just gripped. Will go back to the yokohamas next set and hope these wear out soon.... The shoulder of the tyre is starting to show premature wear as i drive them hard. This did not happen on the previous Yoko's and these f1's were £15 more each!! I would not buy them again due to the reduced grip they give me.
Switched from the original Bridgestone run-flats on my Z4 to these Goodyears and it felt like I 'd bought a better car. Huge improvement in every respect. Tyre noise and ride comfort are massively better, and the handling and control are in a different league. Under full-bore acceleration I can provoke some squeal and maybe the odd shimmy on dry roads, but otherwise grip is first class too. Wet grip is fine too.
Can't say much about wear yet, but they're working well for me.

I've been running Goodyear F1 Asymmetric 2's for the past number of years and I'm now on F1 Asymmetric 3's. Both tire are outstanding. I've had other brands in the past and nothing can touch there performance. I converted a friend of mine who has an Audi A6 Quattro and he too wouldn't now touch anything else. I don't understand why people skimp on tire as its the quality of tire that keeps you safely on the road
Been through many brands, lots of mid-range such as Kumho and Vredestein, - all very good but never seemed to get past 10k on the front. Fitted the Assymetric 2 to my Insignia VXLine in 19s, superb all round with 25k covered on the front. Now fitted the 3 and seems marginally better. Although looking at another £20 per wheel, they result to be a much more cost effective option with far better handling, noise and performance characteristics. Superb tyre
I bought a VW Passat 2:0 tdi with budget tyre fitted and it was dangerous to say the least with terrible understear and braking. I looked at all the reviews for tyres and decided on the goodyears F1's and I have to say it was like driving a different car understear gone good braking performance superb in the wet. I had the same issue with my next car an Audi A 5. 3.0 tdi same result in great improvement in grip. Covered around 12000 miles up to now and probably good for 2 or 3 k more

I previuosly had gy f1 2, the differences are less rim protection but better damping on bumps, seems a softer compound, only done 300 miles but seems to get a little better, not as planted on the road. Did not have any other option of new uhp tyres with this size..
Having done a lot of research, I have found these tyres to be of exceptional high quality for road feedback, comfort in ride, handling in both dry and wet weather. As for wear I can see little sign of much wear to the tyres and as for prices, yes you may think they are a little high but shop around and find the best price you won't be disappointed. I got mine from Quicksave tyres in Blackpool. their prices are very good.
Had the Bridgestone Potenzas before this tyre and it was time for a change looking at the reviews it seemed like a great tyre better than the Asymmetric 2 however this isn't the case!
The Asymmetric 3 is a great tyre in the dry good grip and feedback, however in the wet I don't feel confident. It's good in a straight line and doesn't aqua plane however if you corner at normal speed on a normal Road I find they slip a little! Also if you give it a bit of throttle on acceleration they just light up traction control and the front end slips in the wet. I would recommend these tyres mainly for dry driving!
For this reason alone I won't be purchasing again!
When you choose to buy new tires try first to follow the advertising spot of company..if you see a car who is close to yours then you made a good choice, I mean if the spot is with Jaguar XF and you have a sporty car like Porsche Panamera then is a bad choice, or if the spot is with VW Golf 7 and you have Audi RS 6 or BMW M3 it's also a no good choice for sure.
Generally the type of car used to advertise acceptable offer insight for who is the type of tire, do not try to mix them because you will be disappointed.
Previously had the Eagle F1 Assy 2's, very happy with all aspects, really couldn't fault so purchased again, however GY replaced with assy 3's. Still a great tyre for driveability, however rim protector is almost non existent, the alloy rims basically are level (at the best) with the rubber, this is not what I expected.
As well as looking a little odd my expensive alloys are now at risk, wouldn't purchase again and will change to another make soon with proper rim protectors, will have sell these on Exxxx.
First off these tyres are simply the best if you want excellent dry and wet grip combined with good wear and good comfort these tires are for you.
I have a astra j 2.0 cdti on eibach springs and shocks with 500nm and 230hp and these tires perfectly compliment them.
They more than handle the power and help the front wheels get the traction they need to put the power down all other tires I had spun even at 20mph under acceleration these only spin from a stand still in the wet.
The dry handling is just .... Amazing simply brilliant , I have had conti contact sport , pirellie, michilin and they are all inferior before these eagle f1 I had the Goodyear efficient grip performance which where good but the eagle f1 are just another league, I drive the A7 daily in Scotland a very windy road and these tires handle the road beautifully they are incredibly responsive to steering input are comfortable when going over pot holes which in Scotland there is plenty, but the most amazing thing is the way they bite into the road in corners where I would take them at 50-55 I can go 70 and still feel more grip for the car to use, ride comfort is also good and they have a nice firm sidewall so the car doesent feel like its falling on its side such as with the conti and michillins, and this tire also shines in the wet it feels just as good in the wet as in the dry. Wear is also really good. Only tire that is anywhere near as good handling is Yokohama advanced sport v105 but the wear on them is pretty poor in comparison.
I would highly highly recommend these tires 10/10 will buy again and again.
