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.
What owners mention most counted across 222 reviews
Good overall grip, take a bit of time to warm on dry.
Feel extremely safe and confident in wet.
Slight noise but don't really bother me or affect my ride experience in any way.
Great tyre overall
I am on my second set of these tyres on my Audi. Lots of high-speed highway and country road usage. Grip is amazing, feels slightly less grippy in the wet, but in my opinion this is due to cars' weight. Each set lasts for about 15k miles or 2 years.
Road noise is minimal and the feedback even on a cruise ship like mine is pretty good.
I bought a BMW Z4 recently and I am looking to get a set of these for the next summer (if there isn't a newer model of course).
All in all: great tyres for the price, feels secure and predictable. Definitely recommend a purchase

Researching the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 5? Rate the tyres you actually drive - and help the next buyer choose.
After 15,000km driving over the last year, the goodyears have been stored for winter. I'm very satisfied with their performance. excellent road feedback, grip in all conditions and wear without great sacrifice to comfort levels. 5~6mm of thread left after 15,000km of when off the motorway, spirited driving.
Car handles great, would recommend.
Great all round tyre! Excellent handling in wet/Damp conditions. I’ve done close to 1000 miles so far and very impressed. Been off roads in farms and down to the blast faces in quarry’s and grip has also been there.
Only slight negative is I get a small amount of road noise on that horrible concrete stretch of the M25 (jnc9 to jnc8)
I love these tyres that are very inexpensive for the performance. Every spring, when I switched back from winter tyres, I bought a pair of new summer tyres, upgrading each year until I finally had the F1 Asymmetrics on all four corners. They completely suit the car. Grip, especially in the wet is amazing and they are very comfortable. It's important to make sure that wheel alignment is correct. Unlike winter tyres, they won't tolerate any toe out and the effect on steering will be obvious.
They can still deliver the performance down to 5 degC but grip, especially if the tyres are more than five years old, completely disappears below 3 degC. Currently replaced by a set of All Seasons until the spring.
After doing my research and watching various tyre reviews, it was a toss up between PS4s and these, but price and the reviews pointed me to these. Have driven them about 1000km and they are as described on the YouTube Tyre Reviews. Great in dry and wet, steering was heavier then the OEM tyres (Advan V105) but great road feedback. I wanted to lean towards a more quiet and comfort tyre as the Subie had a stiffer than most ride anyway so these were a great match without compromising on the performance side. Nothing to fault at this stage.
Put these tyres on my fiesta st at the start of summer, my first impressions were how much the wet performance improved, it quickly regained my confidence, verry good dry braking and a high resistance to aquaplaning. I took the car to do the nc500 and learned a lot about the tyre, when the tyre develops some heat the feedback and grip level increases to an ideal level. It has been difficult/ near impossible to overheat the tyre on the road it just seems to take whatever is thrown at it with ease. I wouldn't say the steering feel is amazing but it still presents plenty feedback but can be a bit dull at times. Not a comfortable tyre to live with on scottish roads but neither is the car but you expect these things
Very good in the dry, awesome in heavy rain, operates perfect in all conditions from 2 to 35°C, also udable on trackday at Spreewaldring and Nordschleife tourist laps, transporting my son to Nürburgring, Oschersleben and many more motorsport locations in Germany, the A5 just deliver grip. The wear is astonishing low for this kind of use on my Swift Sport ZC33S for 6000 km. Comfort is good, handling is good too, only the streering feeling could be better. A huge step from the stock tyres Conti Sportcontact 5.
Would be interesting to know how A5 perform in compare to Yokohama Advan 052.
Having had Premium contacts on this car before, these are slightly less sporty, but a step up in terms of comfort, and the perfect summer tyre for a big, relatively powerful barge.
These are fitted to A 2001 Mazda MX5 which sees mostly track days and a little road time. Dry weather performance is phenomenal. Response is razor sharp. Traction is excellent in the dry, good in wet. Braking ability is awesome. Driven roughly 5000km and they are wearing pretty good despite fairly aggressive camber set up. Comfortable these are not. My car has rose joint suspension, I feel every little bump and road noise is bad but I am able to out corner my brother's Mustang. Will most definitely purchase again.
I have this tires fitted on my 2009 BMW 5 series in 225/50/17 size. After two summers and almost 30k miles with them, it is my favourite tire so far. Excellent grip in both dry and wet. I drove them on a good and pretty equal mix of motorways, country roads, city and national roads, performed incredibly well in all conditions. Under 10 degrees Celsius’s and cold asphalt, the grip is still good on dry but the tire gets a bit hard, which I think is normal for summer tires. They still have about 4mm of thread left, which will be good for another summer then definitely I'll buy them again or next generation of GY F1 Asymmetric Eagle. They don't seem to be noisy at all.
I putted a 245/45/17 set on an 2013 E Klasse 220CDI.
The handling is predictable in all conditions which gave me confidence every time I was at the wheel.
