Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 2

Tyre of choice – Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 2 has been excellent on my Golf GTi. Amazing grip and very quiet, with a sidewall bezel that helps protect the rim from light scrapes on gutters etc. Usually get 40000kms. Also used the SUV variant on Mazda CX7 which helped reduce the road noise significantly. Again amazing grip but harder to test on an SUV. Got more… Read more

than 50000kms from memory.

Finally have had an issue with 2 tyres on a Touareg but was very impressed with Goodyear who acknowledged the issue and replaced all four tyres at pro-rata wear.

So great tyres, and excellent support when needed. On to the Assymetric 3 SUV now.

Less than 10,000 km and tyres are not road worthy – Bought 4 new Eagle tyres in July 2018, 12 months later and only 10,000 km the tyres are not road worthy, expensive and not worth the hassle. Trying to get in touch with supplier to see what can be done Show details

Not great tyres at all – Not at all happy with these tyres that came fitted to my 125i. They have lumpy walls (not a typo) which I’m guess means the walls have failed. All 4 tyres, so not a one off pothole. And they are cracked and pitted around the edge of the tread. They seem to lose air quickly too, I get regular pressure loss warnings from the car and sure enough at least one tyre will be at 20psi. Show details

I found the grip decreased with age – When these tyres were new i thought they were brilliant, when it was wet I didn't even know it because the grip was insane! However as time went by i found the grip got worse and worse, even though there was plenty of tread left. I eventually (the day after i slid off a round-a-bout in the wet whilst driving slowly) had to throw them out with… Read more

less than 10,000kms on them because they got to a point they i had little traction in the dry and they were downright dangerous in the wet. This was disappointing considering how much i paid for them.

Avoid like the plague – Initially I was full of praise, then took my C63 in for a service. After 10k miles they had split all around between the inside wall and the tread, even though the tread still had 4mm across. I do mainly motorway driving and always maintain correct pressures. Go for Pirelli or Conti  Show details

Great all round tyre – Bought these in a 3 for 4 special for my VZ Commodore wagon and so glad I did. Great road grip in the dry and top performance in the wet for a 245/50 tyre. Good thick tread pattern and no vibration whatsoever at higher speeds. Highly recommend to anybody needing new boots.  Show details ·  1

Is good – These tyres are brilliant when new, grip is awesome and you wouldn't know it's wet if it wasn't for the rain on the windscreen. Similarly braking, taking off, just the best. However like any tyre, these properties slowly decreased with wear. By the time they are done, there is a noticeable drop off in grip, wet performance whilst still good, is… Read more

no longer very, very reassuring. That's not to say it's bad by any means, they are still way better than most other tyres I've had when those tyres were new.

But all this grip comes with the downside of wear. Not horrific at around 28,000Km for the front wheels, the rears are twice that. Considering they are on an Alfa, that's 'enjoyed through the bends', it's hard to complain. The wear was also quite even and they held pressure well, rarely needing adjustment,

Road noise is high, but that's why radios have volume controls!.

If you drive a powerful RWD car, then seriously consider these tyres, you'll appreciate the ability to put the power down in all conditions. FWD owners can wave 'bye bye' to understeer!

Great all round tyre – They are simply amazing. Certainly worth fitting your car out with them if you find them on special. My V8 responds as good in the wet as in the dry. As always make sure they are aligned every year or so. I have had a few blow outs in country areas but I can't blame the tyre for that.  Show details

Worst High Performance Summer Tires I have used! – These tires come stock with the 2016 Camaro SS. Tires started to make loud noises at 14,000km followed by severe vibration over 80km/h. I couldn't believe the tread ware on all 4 tires.. and the lack of grip around turns.. not much of a performance tire. Looking forward to the Michelin Super Sports next summer!!!  Show details

Quiet, sticky and durable – I've had these tyres on my 2013 BMW 335i x drive with M sport package for 6 months. They have shown very minimal wear and have been extremely dependable when I have pushed them into the corners. They are comfortable on rough surfaces and create little road noise. They do not excel in wet weather conditions. Wether the road is cold and damp,… Read more

hot and damp or during a down poor they do not perform as well as my Michelin pilot super sports.

Overall they have been better than I had expected and I will definitely purchase them again as they a great alternative to the pricier Michelin Pilot super sports.

1 out of 4 is defective – Do not buy. I bought 4 tyres GOODYEAR ASSYMMETRICAL2 - eight months ago, 1 tyre has been noisy for 3 months. On inspection, had a large crack right down through the steel radials. These are defective tyres. Car has not had an impact to cause this. 1 in 4 defective. Out of pocket $350. Would NOT buy again. TYREPOWER would not replace under warranty.  Show details

Very quiet and comfortable – Just bought two of these tyres because they had rave reviews from a British tyre review website as a very good high performance tyre. I have a car with firm suspension, and I like a firm ride. These tyres are very soft and I don't really like how it makes my car feel. I want a tight taut sports car feel, not a soft luxury ride. :-(  Show details

Fantastic tyres ... and they saved me from a potential crash! – These tyres came standard on my 2013 Ford Focus ST and are 235/40/18. I've done about 14,000Kms on them now and I have to say, these are the best tyres I've ever had; even better than my former favourites, Pirelli PZero Neros. The grip is outstanding and I've pushed the car around corners as fast as I'm game to go and no sign of loss of grip. … Read more

The grip in the wet has been equal to the Pirelli PZero. They are quiet too. As for wear - well with about 50% suburban, 30% highway and 20% windy, hilly roads, (enthusiastic driving on the later) I would say they are about 30% worn (on the front) 10% on the rear. I estimate about 45,000 Kms minimum tyre life. That's pretty good for a performance tyre in my opinion. I am now a big fan of the "run on flat" technology which I didn't know they had.

Today, they potentially saved my butt! I was turning into a side street when the rear kerbside tyre blew out (clipped a piece of concrete reinforcing rod lying on the road). At the speed I was going, the rear of the car could have easily swerved into the central traffic island resulting in serious damage - instead, the car behaved like nothing was wrong at all. The only way I knew I had a blow out was the astoundingly loud bang - and the warning light on the dash.

These tyres are a 10/10 in my books.

Durable go cart type handling sticks to road very well – So far after 25 months 60100 km, mainly highway km's would have to have with rotations at least another 10 to 15000 K before first change now that's pretty damn good for performance tyre , fitted to focus st , corners very well , happy to have again and again  Show details

Excellent grip and very quiet – I have consumed two sets of the Yokohama Advan decibel tyres on my Mercedes C180 and thought they were the quietest tyre available. I was wrong. The Goodyear Eagle F1 A2 is even quieter. After 5000km the tyres are wearing dead flat and with only 0.5mm of tread lost the life should be quite good. The grip is excellent in both the wet and dry with… Read more

strong shoulders that don't get ripped apart on roundabouts. I first drove this tyre on a MY15 Porsche Cayman and was amazed by the grip and quiet ride. Without a doubt the best tyre I have ever driven on.

My other car is a MY12 Porsche Cayman and is running the Michelin Pilot Sport PS2. This tyre also has excellent grip but no where near the superb quiet ride. I can see why Porsche now use the F1 A2 as original equipment on selected models.

really really good – These F1's were on my new 2013 Focus Titanium (235/40/18). Now 57,000 standard km later they are still in pretty good condition. I don't drive hard but wet or dry they are sure footed in corners or stopping. Had a alignment and re-balance but still mild vibration at 100-110 km/h. I find them a bit noisy but it's a small price to pay for the security. They get my vote for longevity and safety.  Show details

Bad Quality, Defective, Do Not Buy! – Purchased 4 of these early this year, 1 of them blew up with a 4cm long crack at side of the tyre last week. The tyre service center cannot find any evidence of impact which would cause this kind of damage however the Goodyear head office people said it's by a big impact and is not covered by warranty! Now I am worried about the rest of 3 tyres on… Read more

my car, will they run my life away. I previously had 3 set of Bridgestone RE050, never had any issue.

3/4 defective – GoodYear seems to have a serious quality issue. I had 3/4 defective tires with lots of shimmying. Rebalanced several times with no help. It is definitely due to defective tire as you can see it vibrating at balancing machine. Well these things happens, but what should not happen is that changing them to good ones is next to impossible if purchased online. Otherwise a great product. Lots of dry and wet grip and road feedback.  Show details

Good quality but at price – I have been running these for 5000k's now on my Mondeo XR5 Turbo and have found them to be an excellent all-round tyre (245/40 18). The Mondeo has high load and speed ratings for some reason which makes it expensive to by tyres for but after a lot of shopping around I found them at a good price from Tempe Tyres compared to other tyres of similar quality.  Show details

Excellent Tyre – I recently have had Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 2's fitted to my car (225-40-18-92Y) and so far they are a great tyre, very grippy, quiet and comfortable. I had great difficulty deciding on which tyre to buy for my car as there are so many different tyres on the market these days. I wanted a tyre that offered great handling and braking in both… Read more

dry and wet conditions, is quiet and comfortable and has decent rolling resistance. The GY EF1 A2 has got great reviews and I thought that this would be my next tyre of choice. However, when I inquired on prices through several of the larger tyre franchises I was quoted an average of $355 per tyre. To put that into perspective, other premium tyres were quoted at around $100 less per tyre from the likes of Michelin, Pirelli and Continental. After a lot of ringing around and web browsing I found them at $245 per tyre from a smaller independent store (not parallel imports). A saving of $110 per tyre/$440 per set......crazy!

I highly recommend these tyres but shop around and don't get ripped off by the larger tyre stores.

Best wet weather road tyre I have ever driven on – The amount of lateral G force that you can generate in the wet out of these is very impressive for a road tyre. Braking too is impressive. I do recall an SS Commodore tricked up and lowered trying to match me through a roundabout in my diesel auto in the wet. OK I was going reasonably hard but didn't break traction at all and ol' mate very nearly… Read more

introduced the front end of his car to the scenery as he went spearing off to the left of me in a state of terminal under steer. All games aside these are a very safe tyre but for the average drive probably a bit over kill for the price. If, on the other hand, you like a bit of club day action and to drive a bit more spirited but don't want to go for a semi race tyre, then this is the one for you. May even work on a tricked up SS Commodore lol. I got mine at a really good price of $200 a corner but expect to pay more than this.

This is the tyre for non-racing Falcons/Commodores – I had Dunlop Sport MAXX fitted on my XR50 delivery and ran them for 4 years. While their handling qualities were superb, they were "rough" in the pits and road defects, and noisy. The Goodyears fixed those two issues - awesomely soft and very quiet! It feels like a car upgrade now! The Falcon still handles nicely even though not as "tack sharp" as… Read more

on the sporties. We use the car as a family sedan so the Eagles are the perfect tyres - highly recommended for all use except race track. They can also do a full stop without re-braking and kick-backs since they are smooth in nature, while giving lots of control in all non-racing situations.

I wish they came with the new car so I was not cringing about "bad roads".

Awesome tyres – These tyres are amazing. I changed to them on my 2006 Accord Euro and it feels like a totally different car, with much better handling and steering feedback and precision, and the best grip in both dry and wet weather. I originally had Bridgestone Potenzas which were ok and then Bridgestone 'MY02 sporty style' which were horrible on wet roads,… Read more

with dangerously low grip.

Definitely recommend the Goodyear Eagle F1 aymmetrics for anyone looking for a premium tyre with excellent steering feedback and the best grip.

Fantastic – I had these tyres (235 17") fitted to my 2000 Falcon and they are amazing, make the car feel new again. While I admit there are plenty I havent tried these are by far the best I have ever bought. With tyres like this you dont need ABS TCS ESC or anything because there is no substitute for great grip, wet or dry. I bought them after reading all the… Read more ·  1

reviews and tests and I fully concur with others that rave about them. The generous sidewall has also saved my alloy wheel from a high kerb as well. I dont do a lot of k's but the ones I do are probably pretty hard on the tyres, had them a year now and the tread still looks good. Absolutely buy them again. You should get an insurance (life and car) discount for fitting tyres like these. Superb wet and dry grip. Sidewall rim protector. I guess they are not cheap but they are worth it. Not available in the right size for my other car.

Best bang for buck performance tyre – One of the best tyres on the market today. Every tyre test I've looked at the F1 Asy2 are in the top 5, usually 1st or 2nd place & they're not wrong with that rating. Grip in the wet & dry is phenomenal, little to no road noise & all at a very reasonable price. I replaced Bridgestone Potenza RE001 with the F1 Asy2. There's no comparison, the… Read more

RE001 are good but the Goodyears are in another league & they're didn't cost me much more either. If you haven't tried these tyres & they're on your list then buy them, you wont be disappointed. Phenomenal grip in both the dry & wet. Quite

Good tyre but 2 have developed sidewall bubbles – My review is on a 225/40 R18 92W Run On Flat. Overall I like the tyre but at 25,000km with lots of wear still on the tread, 2 of the 4 have developed sidewall bubbles and I am yet to inspect the inside of each tyre. The latest bubble occured running around inner Sydney area. Very disappointed. I won't be rushing back to try GY F1 A2 anytime… Read more

soon without trying some other brands.

Besides this structural matter, the tyres are otherwise very grippy, good in wet and dry. I did find them quite noisy on the open road but luckily I have a great stereo.....although by the end of a long trip I was felt overwhelmed by the road and stereo noise. Grip and braking Sidewall failure, 2 of 4 tyres developed a bubble

Excellent Tyre – These tyres came as original fitment on my 2012 Focus (235/40R18), they would have to be by far the best tyres I've had on any vehicle full stop. Excellent grip in all conditions, quiet and well wearing. I've done 20k of reasonably hard driving on them and they only appear to be half worn. I would have absolutely no hesitation to buy a set to… Read more

replace the factory tyres once they wear out and would definitely recommend these tyres to others. Excellent grip in all conditions, quiet and well wearing

Surprisingly good – I have been a dyed in the wool Michelin fan for years with Pilot Sport on a several 911s. The Goodyear came as OE on a Boxster 981 and I was suspicious. To my surprise these tyres are great. Grip is fantastic, no squealing, very little tyre noise at any speed. I also drove the Boxster on a set of P Zeros. No idea about wear yet but right now I wold buy the same again. Grip, low noise.
