Questions and Answers for the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 2

2016-04-29 - Hi, can you tell me on average how long or how many miles this Tire should last for please? Thank you

Mileage entirely depends on vehicle type, power, driving style and road conditions! We have reports of the Asymmetric 2 lasting anywhere between 5,000 and 50,000 miles, but on an average high torque diesel vehicle like an Audi A4, we'd expect the fronts to last somewhere around 20,000 miles and rears towards 35,000 miles.

2018-05-19 - I am looking for a replacement set of tires for a 2006 jaguar xjr. I have had Hankook Ventus V12's which were a great tire but soft sidewalls. Nexen N1000 have been a great compromise but they pick up punctures easily so I am getting rid of them. Problem is the cost of medium range tires has exploded over the past 6 years and there is little difference between a nexen Su1, dunlop maxx 050+ and goodyear AS3. One of the tire shops hates Goodyear product and says they are inferior quality despite the high test scores. I heard the AS2 is a better tire than the AS3 because it has a stronger sidewall. So what is the best choice of tire if i don't want to spend crazy money on Michelin.

I wonder why the tire retailer you've spoken to dislikes Goodyear products, given the hundreds of independent objective tests they've been featured in prove them wrong. Your best bet is to watch this tire recommendation video.

2019-12-30 - According to the National Tire Service these tires should only be fitted to Porsches. Is that correct? I have an Audi Q5. Thanks Chris

No, there is a porsche specific N version of the tire, but the standard one can fit any vehicle.

Given 100% while driving a BMW 320 d (255/35 R19) on a combination of roads for 14,000 spirited miles
Got these for my BMW f30 m sport plus and they are much better than the Bridgestone potenza S001... They were not good on wet and were a bit loud.. got the Goodyear eagle F1 A2 rft tires and they are much better in terms of comfortability and grip both in dry and wet... Done 14k on rears but still plenty of life.

Having completed a lot of research I settled on these tires. I was happy with the price and how they felt on the car. Feedback, handling and comfort are all good. Unfortunately the two front tires are faulty and have lost their shape causing wheel wobble over 60mph. They lasted less than 800 miles & less than eight months.

These rear tires make my normally stable Lexus is350 twitchy. This is really noticeable on adverse cambers, even slight e.g. on a motorway. Alignment is correct and pressure doesn't make much difference. Particularly bad with passengers in rear.

Given 74% while driving a Ford Focus ST250 (235/40 R18) on mostly town for 12,500 average miles
With a calm ride and 90% of the final distance in the city, fine. Using them for fun, not so good. The grip is good but not excellent. In the wet, it is better to go calmly and with caution.The mileage range varies extremely depending on whether it is used on the front or rear axle. Front ones with 6250 miles are finished. The rears with 6250 miles, are over 60% life. As for comfort and sound, everyone will be able to judge whether they want to mount them.

The tires were durable for a long time, but after 4 years, hairline cracks appeared. Although the braking distance is not very good, with a proper balance, there would be no vibration even at 200+ km speeds.

I've made around 25000 kms with a set of 4. The grip in the dry and in the wet were acceptable but in comparison with the price I've paid for them (around 200€/tire) they don't worth it. Comfort in the beginning was relatively good, but it clearly became worse and worse with the use of tires. The wear is too soft, so it clearly disappears in no time. The worse part... I was entering on an highway when I felt what I thought was like a metallic sound cracking coming from a rear tire and, after that, the car started shaking all over above 90km/h. I stopped, I didn't saw any anomaly. Went to my local tire dealer (where I bought the tires) and they took off the tire... and guess what... The tire was all cracked on the inside and pressure went below 1BAR. In short, it was a matter of luck to not have a blown up tire and a possible accident because of this tire. It clearly was a faulty tire because everything was ok (I check the pressure very often). I know there are new models, but avoid this at all cost. I know that Goodyear still have some stock of this model, so avoid it because it clearly has a problem!

AVOID THE RUN FLATS LIKE THE PLAGUE These are awesome, well priced tires and I would buy the non run flats with no hesitation at all. Good dry and wet grip and impressive braking performance. However, the run flats bulge at just the sight of a small pothole or bump in the road, they are truly terrible and I'm convinced they only sell so many of these because people are constantly replacing them. I've had 3 of these bulge after hitting potholes in just the past 3 months of owning my car, one of which was only 1000 miles old having been previously replaced. The BMW F3X owners club share the same frustrations. RFT's = Avoid Normal Reinforced Tires = Highly Reccomend

Fitted these at the start of 2020, switching from Michelin's. What can I say? These are by far one of the best tires I've had on a small SUV! Top notch dry performance & superb wet performance. Progressive on the limit in the wet & give great feedback on greasy surfaces.

Given 93% while driving a (225/40 R18) on for 12,000 miles
This are wonderful tires,it may cost alot but its worth it. I try driving fast on a wet road and i was actually scared to go any more faster because these tires dosent seems to let go in the wet very amazing. Try going round corner fast also there were no sign its limit was reached and so squealing sound etc that the tire is about to let go and i guess this is because of its stiff material goodyear used to construct its side wall. Amazing tires,this tires provide you the info wats is doing on the road all the time surfaces and wat and how you should drive accordingly to it.

Best tire I ever had on my BMW E93 325i. I bought them because my car has different tires in front and back (225/45/17 and difficult to find 255/40/17) and I had enough with the slippery Michelin Primacy. The Goodyears were a surprise: extremely quiet and comfortable, grip well in both wet and dry and the road feedback is more than OK. In addition the MPG is better than the Michelins. Definitely a winner.

Given 70% while driving a Audi TT MK2 TFSI (245/40 R18 W) on a combination of roads for 5,000 spirited miles
These came fitted to my TT MK2 TFSI when I bought it, so i can't compare these to other tires but have covered 5k on them so hopefully the information is helpful to others with cars of similar power and drive. Dry and wet lateral grip is reassuring, braking is also good. Power transfer: At stock power and dry tarmac the car would grip in 2nd gear at full throttle. Since then I've had the car mapped 258hp 282lbft and and now they will struggle for traction in 3rd. Probably not the tires fault as the car has a open diff but will try a different brand to find out. 245/40/18

I have had these tires on my BMW 320d now for 6,000 miles / 6 Months. I am very impressed with the wear on these! My tire pressure is 36PSI all round and I have very even wear all over the four tires. The thread depth now after 6,000 miles is down to around 6mm. These are wearing nicely and they are a very nice tire to drive on! Definitely recommend these on your car! Would I buy again? 110% I would!
