Owners rate the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 5 highly overall (83% average), with the vast majority praising its strong grip in both dry and wet conditions and a confident, sporty feel. Comfort also comes through as a real strength for a UHP tyre, and many report crisp steering and stable handling. The main reservations are more mixed: around two in five owners mention tread life and road noise, with experiences varying from excellent longevity and refinement to faster wear and a noisier ride, while a smaller group note reduced cold-weather grip.

Only had these tyres 2 hours when I realised I had made the best choice of tyres ever.
Comfort miles better than the Bridgestone and Dunlop tyres I had on the car before.
I have now had the tyres on the car for 2 weeks and can easily say that now it's a pleasure to cross a road hump without thinking the wheels are falling of the car or the suspension has seen their last days.
I can go into a curve in a roundabout with 50 miles per hour and feel absolutely safe while at the same time feeling how the tyres bite into the tarmac.
Wet drive is also noticeable better with much better breaking distance.
Just the best tyre ever!
Its tyres......No messing its what keeps you're car on the road, Replaced Michelin tyres that were on the car from new...the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asym 5 are very good tyres, Excellent in the dry and just as good in the wet, Steering feedback gives you plenty of confidence, Braking is also sharper and most of call car is quieter than it was when it had the michelin tyres. Dont cheap out on tyres buy closer to the top end.

my daughter got all 4 corner fitted with theses tyres , after i told her to get the best tyres she could afford, she then phoned me up to say she could feel the car drive better, she said they were goodyear , so i thought asymmetric 3 ,great, when she got them fitted she took a picture and sent them to me , asymmetric 5 ! (£380 ) and phoned her and said they are one of the best you can get !, to her a tyre was just a tyre, she had conti on back and nexen on front, i drove her car and thought theses are shit hot, so i put my fk510 on back of my corsa and got asymmetric 5 on front, improves the steering , makes it slightly more heavier, on a corsa thats a good thing ! car goes round corners like on rails , sticks to the road like glue in wet and dry, it was heavy rain last week and i was driving in it lots of puddles as for aquaplaning no issues at all very safe,its a nice firm tyre slightly more noise , harder ride than the fk510 , falken is a very good tyre but this tyre is brilliant, on the next level,but we all know the asymmetric range is very good, will buy again

I purchased a 35i BMW Z4 from a family member, it was fitted with Bridgestone Potenza run flat tyres, new ones at the rear and well worn at the front. The car tramlined constantly, grip was poor at the front and lane changing was unbelievably scary. I took the decision to fit the latest Goodyear Asymmetric 5 tyres all round and the transformation is unreal, I did also have a 4 wheel alignment performed but it was largely fine and the worst mis-alignment was 0.21 degrees so I do not think that has contributed to the change. The car is now stable and calm, there is zero tramlining, bumps do nothing to upset the car, changing lanes is now a joy. Cabin noise levels are also significantly lower. Wet grip is impressive and in 400 miles of driving, much of it on wet roads, I have not managed to provoke the traction light even pulling out of junctions and being spirited. By contrast the Bridgestone tyres shocked me by flashing the traction light in the dry on a bend I regularly sailed round at the same speed in a 54 year old sports car!
To sum up, the run flat Bridgestone Potensa tyres were horrible and dangerous and the Goodyear Asymmetric 5 have given me the car I expected, the difference is total. Z4 owners buy them and change your life!!!
I bought these to replace the factory Bridgestones on my Ford Focus TDI.
Being a family car, it doesn't get much spirited driving. But on the few occasions I have managed to really test the tyres, they were great. Better than the Bridgestones previously, and very close to the ability of the Michelin PS4's I had on a previous car, on the same roads.
The tyres perform well in both wet and dry for the type of driving I do. Marginally better than the AS3's I had on a previous family car. But that was a few months ago, so can't do a back to back comparison there.
Comfort is great. No issues there for me or my family.
Wear rate: This is pretty important to me. I had excellent wear rates from my previous PS4's. And was seriously considering either the PS4's again, or the Primacy 4's for this car when changing tyres for this factor. However, I did get over 44k out of a set of Goodyear Excellence on a F11 530d, so when I found that the AS5's were released, I thought I might as well give them a try.
Anyway, so far, 5,000 miles in, I have just measured the tread depth on the AS5's, and they are still at 7mm all round. So that's pretty good. I might not see another 40k out of these, but if I get another 20k I would be pretty happy. I will update when I change these out, unless I sell this car first.
Replaced my bridgestone ER300 with the F1 AS 5 goodyears.
The grip is excellent in the dry and just as good in the wet.
Road noise has been significantly reduced.
Wear is excellent. As the tyre has been designed and manufactured to a very high standard, the tread is actually treaded to very bottom of the tyre and not only half.
This means that you will have great wet grip throughout the whole life of the tyre.
What really surprised me was the fact the the tyre tread indicators are practically flush with the tyre, about 1mm high due to the manufacturing quality mentioned above.
I would highly recommend these tyres for anyone looking for performance, comfort and confidence in a tyre,
These tyres are super sticky as expected. Grip levels are top notch both in dry and wet.
Silent and super comfortable. I wish steering to be sharper and faster. But we can't have it all.
They are actually not Ultra High Performance or Max Performance tyres. I would call these as Sport Touring tyres. It's really pity that premium tyre manufacturers don't have real Max Performance and Ultra Performance Tyres (below 19") in their product portfolio anymore. Instead they label Touring Tyres as Performance Tyres which is not really good.
Would I buy these again? Maybe not for my weekend/sport car. But I would definitely buy these for our family estate car. Excellent quality tyres.
