Second set of GY SS (mix fitment 255 35 R19, 225 40 R19) i've tried ps 4s and Bridgestone PSS in between howewer, there is something about these GY SS that it making me happy... overall dry grip is comparable to semi slick tire and unlike Michelin or Bridgestone these tires can tolerate a lot more abuse on track before overheating. Oweral dry grip is insane as well as feedback , steering is super responsive hi speed directionall stability is excelent.

Wet grip is realy good comparable with Michelin PS4, solid grip in the wet with slightly less tolerance for aquaplaning (obviously it is not designed to be competition rain tire so be careful while exploring limits :)

Treadwear, comfort and noise level... as expected from uuhp tire (spirited driving 15000km max)

At the end amazing tires for price

As a performance summer tire this is hard to fault. Is direct, giving good turn in and feed back, on FWD at least, and, with a little bit of heat, very good grip. Braking is positive as well. It is not the tire if you want super comfort as it is quite stiff, so you notice bumps more so than some other tires. It is less competent in the wet, possibly because it runs cooler. Straight wet braking still seemed good, but more care is required in corners than maybe some other tires if you are attempting to push on, including accelerating out of corners. It is certainly not terrible in the wet however. I do occasionally track my car, but I have absolutely wanted to avoid using full track day tires, that I have used on other cars and so these are a second set of tires. Their performance on track, for a "normal" road tire is exemplary. I don't feel disadvantaged at all over track tires and the wear rate is very good. If you were going to plough round Anglesey all day, then you may have an issue, but lots of 5 to 6 lap sessions around UK circuits and they are still good to be left on all summer.

What a tire! Bought the tire for my A6 Avant 3.0tdi Quattro to replace the Fulda tires which were really terrible on this car. The eagle f1 SS have now done over 57000km and just measured the tread depths as I am selling the car; still 4mm all around!!! Just mindblowing. Apart from the impressive wear figures, the tire has been really good, especially dry handling and stability at high speeds(lots of Autobahn on them). But also nothing to complain about wet grip, never had any iffy moments on them but run a set of winter tires when below 10 deg C. Comfort is always a thing when these tires are reviewed and although it is not most comfortable, it was not an issue on my A6 (with air suspension though), combined with 18in 245/45 tires. So in short, wonderful tire for a heavy powerful diesel, grippy, stable, and amazing wear!

Without major differences with the F1 eagle, they have a very similar grip in dry and wet conditions, very similar range of kilometers, taking into account that the front ones are unable to withstand more than 6000 miles and the rear ones hold up, without problems, for 12,000 miles.When driving this type of car, neither comfort nor sound are important.

This is the best road tire I have ever used on my car. I used this tire for every day driving, road trips and trackdays and it is absolutely amazing.
On daily driving the tire is working absolutely fine and does have always grip. Except the temperature is below 10 degrees and it's wet. Than the tire struggles with grip. The michelin pilot sport 4s is here better.
But on the another hand, the tire is working also on a trackday very good. It doesn't have the ultimate grip like a cup2, but it is consistent, and it doesn't overhead. The grip is high, and the tire does not fall apart when driven hard. Also, the tire wear on a track or on a windy road is simply amazing! Even when if you drift, the tire wear is really good. I mean, when you drift, the wear is always high, but this tire was able to take some hard beating!

I would definitely buy it again, but goodyear stopped to produce this tire in my size.
But the feedback, the durability and the grip was absolutely amazing for a road tire!

I got these three a couple of years ago on a very attractive offer from Costco.

These tires are extremely competent on a summer’s day. Above 10°c and a dry road I could never reached their limits. In the rain they are also very well put together, albeit I never pushed them in the wet.

Unfortunately, I could never fully enjoy these tires. Due to the horrendous degradation of our roads, soon after purchase I hit an extremely bad pothole (under a railway bridge. Couldn’t see it until it was too late). Although the tire and wheel was refitted, I never felt like I could fully trust them. This is there downside. They are extremely hard (due to being a UUHP) and just can’t cope with our roads. They get thrown about all over the place and don’t make for a pleasant ride. This isn’t the fault of the tires, but really can’t recommend them as an everyday in the UK.

I will add finally that they are useless in the winter. This is no surprise, but under 8°c they are rock hard. So do keep this in mind. Perhaps have a set of winters/All seasons and run these only in the summer.

Having run many sets of Michelin Pilot Supersports over the years on my Megane R26, I fancied a change. I bought these Goodyears and very quickly noticed a heavy pull in the direction of the camber. Furthermore, when they wore down to abo 2mm they were dreadful in the wet.
I’m now back on the Michelins and the car is a pleasure to drive once again.
Avoid.

Very precise tire on dry roads with excellent steering response. Very rigid sides for great stability and maneuverability. The answer is direct and very precise. Good feedback. Rolling silence and correct comfort for a hyper sport tire. Good in fuel consumption and longevity. Good grip in the rain but worse braking distance than Assymetric 5. I even found that the grip was not so bad on the snow. In short, I recommend this tire 100% if you like to have a little fun

Great tires for road and track, if you like.
Not too noisy but not a quiet tire.
Wear is great. Mine have seen a few trackdays and around 40000km and there is still plenty of tire left.
If you find them for a good price, BUY!

Stock tires from a VW Golf R. On road they are ok, with fine traction for daily driving, with some driving mixed in. I do find they are rather noisy for a tire of this type. When I switch from my winter tires to these summer tires, I notice an increase in NVH which doesn't seem intuitive but every year I notice the difference.

On track is a different story, I do not recommend them. They're fine under braking and acceleration. You'll need more negative camber to get the tires to bite in corners and on exit. But regardless of suspension and alignment changes they get greasy very quickly and their ideal temperature range is very narrow. Feedback is poor and wear is high as a result. Based on their design and my experience the shoulders of the tire aren't robust enough. For a tire with such glowing reviews I am very disappointed in their performance for light track use (autocross and short tracks, 8 laps per day following a 2 lap warm up, 1 lap push, 1 lap cool down sequence. 3-4 times a year).

The tires were bought naturally after a TireReviews review comparing the UUHP tires and the Goodyear Eagle F1 SuperSport having the best dry grip performance at the time. The PS4 was too lacking and the PS4s weren't available in the 18 inch size, the 19 inch size was a little too harsh for our roads, which is why the SSs were the best available tire at the time.
The GY SSs are simply superb at dry grip, on longer corners they hold the grip all the way to the speeds and lateral forces I was comfortable with, on shorter corners they greatly mitigated the understeery corner entry of my heavy car, after the apex they transformed the amount of power that can be put out of the corner while still having steering angle to the state where 2nd gear corner exits didn't have enough power to slide the car at 240hp full throttle, which was a first after Potenza S001s, Nexens N8000s, Sava UHP+s and even the Conti SportContact 7s couldn't grip that much.
The wet grip was slightly above average, enough to be safe on the roads, but nowhere near fun. The wear was surprisingly good, 8000miles for a set of 4 with rotations, given the shitty and curvy roads the SSs were dailyed on, it was quite a lot.
Comfort wise they were loud, bumps were very audible, highway tire noise was high, but all of that was countered by the amount of grip that was unbelievable for such a heavy car.
At the end of life, after 8000 hard miles, there was no tread left on 3-4cm of both inside and outside of each tire, they were completely smooth. The center maybe had 2mm of tread depth left. But the grip at the end of life was even better than during the actually usable tread life, reaching absurd high speed corner grip levels compared to all the previous tires I've used, including the SportContact7s.
Definitely the best dry grip tire I've ever had, without a shadow of a doubt.

I have these fitted to my BMW M140i the car is mapped so puts out a little more HP and TQ than stock.

Dry grip: Really good, grips well off the line and out of corners and you know where the limit is.

Wet grip: Is just okay, it's struggles with traction sometimes spinning in 5th gear (Auto) and at times you can feel the ABS kicking in under braking, it also struggles with clearing standing water a bit too. So overall not confidence inspiring in the wet. Anyone saying otherwise simply doesn't drive hard enough to tell the difference between tires.

Feedback: This tire really excels here through the steering wheel and the seat, I can tell what each corner is doing.

Comfort: Is compromised due to a stiff sidewall, but I knew that and I prefer feedback over comfort.

Wear: Too early to tell only covered 2k so far.

Conclusion: If you want a great summer tire that gives you sporty dry handling buy these. Just know that it does come at the expense of wet performance.

i've tried these tires in different cars, one is a c63 MB and the on an audi s3 , the main difference the size of the tires, on the 225, these tires are comfy and very low noised, on the other even nd on the 275 noise is louder , comfort about the same. thats it thats my only criticism. handling, cant be better baking damn .. face gesture making.. and all these with very good comfort levels. traction and steering response amazing. im really glad i purchased these instead of the asymmetric ...performance level is up without real compromise. amazing tires

Amazing handling qualities with exceptional steering reactions and highly confidence inspiring in dry conditions. Very good dry grip with good wet grip for a UUHP tire. Nevertheless not a wet performance tire as reactions in the wet at the limit can be a little bit demanding for average driving skill (if the electronics are turned off completely). Good wear especially when driven hard and/or frequently at the limit or on the track (about 5000 miles and still look quite new / about 6 mm left with even wear in spite of driving excessively fast curves). Had before the Yokohama AD08R which I loved. Compared with these, grip is on a identical level but Goodyear demands less heat in the tire to result in same grip. Turn in of Goodyear is a little bit faster and more precise and both are a bit "meaty" and side walls are strong. Therefore only average tire pressure (2.4 bar) is required and tire remains reliable also under extreme driving conditions (no imprecise behaviour or reactions of the tire). Comfort is quite good for UUHP (at least as good as original MIchelin PSS tires).

Bought these for my bmw 420d and can honestly say they are a great improvement over the potenza s001 fittrd before. Much more fun and the grip is insane. Have had michelin ps4 previously and these are much better. Thanks tire reviews for the recomendation
