Across 122 reviews, the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric is most often praised as a confidence-inspiring ultra-high-performance summer tyre with standout wet grip and strong dry cornering/braking. Many drivers report improved steering feel, stability, and a quieter/more comfortable ride versus common OEM alternatives (Pirelli/Bridgestone/Continental). The main recurring drawback is tread life variability-some owners see excellent mileage, but a sizable minority report rapid wear and higher running costs. A smaller but repeated theme is increased road noise on coarse surfaces or as the tyre wears, and it is widely noted as unsuitable for snow/very cold conditions.

Dry grip was poor unless the tyre was very warm. Tyres became noisy after 3000 miles and lasted 9000. They were on a par with the Potenzas and no where near as good as the OPTIGRIPs I am now running.
AMAZING!!! Brought from Camskill for ?185 a pair. In the wet especially they are just immense, the car used to understeer in the wet, now the front just keeps gripping and the back (which is still on budget rubber) just lets go! Will buy again!!!

I have now got these all rounnd on the Boxster and they are the best tyres I have ever had on any of my cars. They are superb wet and dry and have transformed the handling completely. They let you know when they are about to go and you can still push them a bit more which I like. And they come out top in Autocar 2007 tyre test beating the Michellin PS2, Continental PS3, Bridestone Potenza RE050 and Pirelli P Zero Rosso/Nero for a reason.

i put these tyres on the rear of my car to replace a goodyear excellance and a ventus sport, what a difference. the rear used to come out even with the traction control on but with these new tyres it makes it dificult to get it sideways when your trying to with both bits of the traction control off.
My car came with cont. sport 2 on it and was very pleased with them, but were expensive to renew. I was recomended these tyres buy my garage, they came highly recomended and weren't any dearer than most named brands so I tried them.
Have to say no complaints excellant all round tyre. Only down side is after about 10,000k need replaced, but its worth it to get this level of feeling you can do anything in any weather.Will defianatley be buying them again.
Put these on after F1 GSD3 I think that the dry handling was a bit better but wet handling was slightly less than GSD3's. Also found that to get the best handling out of them the pressures needing tweaking, so dropped them to 32psi on front and 30psi on back. I found this a great help as recommended pressures were 34,31. I did this as the asymmetrics are a harder tyre and found that under extreme breaking the back end tried to step out.
I currently drive a 740i Sport (RWD) with a body weight of about 4,300 pounds. I'm also a very very spirited driver. I often cross the 100 mph barrier on my daily commutes. That said, these tires are the best I've ever driven. They are rediculously amazing on dry roads. As for wet, what water??? These things provide so much confidence in wet and curves that you don't even want to slow down. In my opinion, these are also the quietest tires I've yet to experience. They are a premium tire with a premium cost, but they will not dissapoint! I highly encourage you to get a set if you're looing for the best of all worlds (wet/dry/confidence/wear). Be sure to have them road-force-balanced at install.
I have just had these put on the front and straight away I could feel they were really smooth and had tons of grip like I have never experienced before. The road feedback is awesome, very quiet and they handle brilliantly which instantly gave me confidence to throw the car around bends and they just don't let go.
I will be replacing the rears in a few days time with 265/35/18 and the way the fronts feel at the moment I know the handling will be even better with these on the rear. Currently I have P Zero with about 2mm left and although they are good tyres the Eagle F1 Asymmetric are just on a different level. I can not comment on wear yet as I have only covered 1k but if these last at least 15-20K I will be happy and anymore than that these tyres will be a standard fitment for life.
In the wet these tyres are awesome and give you so much confidence to push the limits and still feel safe. So if you want Ultra Hi Performance tyres look no further.
I have had 2 sets replaced under warranty after excessive vibration. Now in the 3rd set I have had 2 punctures in 5000 miles. Nice to drive on. Useless to own. I am getting rid of them after only 10,000 miles.
excellent tire.very good ride comfortable comparing them to the bridgestones potenza re050 excellent grip even cold excellent in the wet.They dont have the precision of the re050's when cornering but they'll never abbandon you.definitely the best tire i ever had.
I've driven with these tyres now 6000 relatively easy miles, mostly on motorway. Dry & wet grip is fantastic. Although these are quieter than GY NCT5's, there is more humming on a hard surface than I'd like to. Some 6-7mm is left on the thread, so the wear has been on reasonable level comparing to the grip. Most likely I'll try something else when these wear out.
These are the best tyres I have fitted to my car. I mainly do motorway miles, but after nearly 60,000 miles of driving I have realised these are the best tyres I have fitted so far. I have had Avons, Continentals, and many more but these offer the best day and wet grip combined with a good driver feel. You sacrifice the wear for the quality of driver appeal and grip, but they are well worth the ?110 each a tyre. Wouldn't buy anything else when a tyre is this good, just watch the wear....
