Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 3 Reviews - Page 6

Given 90% while driving a Skoda Octavia (225/45 R18 R) on a combination of roads for 3,000 average miles
Great tires (I am not a racer, just an average user),much better than the hankook r16 tires I had before - of course a lot of the improvement came with the wider tire as well. I would definitely buy them again.

Given 57% while driving a Audi A4 2.0 TDi 170 S Line (245/40 R18 W) on a combination of roads for 2,500 average miles
These were mounted on my 2012 Audi A4 when I bought it 2nd hand. When I first checked the pressure, I noticed they were over inflated by almost 1 bar. When at the correct pressure, I had the feeling that I was driving on balloons. The tires have very soft sidewalls. In dry and wet, the power of the modest TDI quickly overcame the grip of the tires.
I have decided to trade these in for winter tires and look for something else for summer. Even the tire machine had difficulty removing them from the rims because of the soft walls. The mechanic showed me and I have never seen such a floppy tire...

Given 70% while driving a Volkswagen Scirocco 2.0 TSI 201 (225/45 R17) on a combination of roads for 200 spirited miles
2018 VW Scirocco 2.0 tsi 180 bhp fwd. Bought these after having Continental Conti Sport Contact 3. The continentals lasted 11,500 miles with about 2ml left very spirited driving style. Wet grip: does not make me feel confident at all. Dry grip: not too bad, struggle to put full throttle/gas down in 1st unless they are warmed up. Handling: the Scirocco traction control is unbelievably good but I don't think these tires go well with the car. Compared to the Conti sport hands down conti sport.

These tires are very round and very black. Quite rubbery and they also have a rubbery smell. Only complaint is Mayne they could be pink and a little bit square

Given 93% while driving a Vauxhall corsa sri (215/45 R17 W) on mostly country roads for 100 spirited miles
I've had these on my Mk7 Golf R Estate for a few months and they are superb. So when my wife's Corsa E 1.4t VX-Line needed some new front tires these were near the top of the list of ones I wanted to get. I found them for a good price online.

They are just as good on the Corsa as they are the Golf. Grip in the dry is fantastic and they inspire confidence. They are very quiet and also give a supple ride. I would thoroughly recommend these. I have yet to find their limits on the Golf on public roads, in the wet or dry.

On the little Corsa they are first class. They replaced a pair on Continentals which were well past their best, they had made the front of the Corsa rather skittish. Now the Goodyears are on, it feels like a new car.

Given 64% while driving a MG ZR (205/45 R17 V) on mostly country roads for 100 spirited miles
Replaced a set of Continental Sport Contact 2.

Pro's:
-Very quiet
-Lighter steering
-Comfortable
-Good wet and dry grip

Con's:
-Slow steering response, car doesn't feel as sharp
-Steering feedback is very poor

Good tires for long distance cruisers and grocery getters, but dont fit these tires to a sports car or if you like spirited driving, you will be dissapointed.

Given 37% while driving a Mazda 3 Skyactiv 2012 (225/40 R18 W) on a combination of roads for 2,000 spirited miles
Rubbish tire, they shouldn't call it a max performance tire, it is a passenger tire which is for the Moms to take their kids to school. The sidewall is ridiculously soft which gives no feedback at all. I am running KW V3 coilover at a relatively stiff setup and -2.2 deg of front camber on my car, the tire still can't support itself at all while I am trail braking into a corner, and I am using 39psi cold pressure already.........Tire wear is not good, already more than halfway out at 2500km. Won't buy it again

Great tire, first thing I noticed was how quiet they are. Very comfortable ride too. Dry grip is fantastic and the wet grip is good too. Can't comment on wear so early but I would use them again.

Given 86% while driving a Audi A4 Avant 2.0T Quattro (245/40 R19 W) on mostly motorways for 3,000 average miles
This tire takes a while (over 1K miles) to break-in. Initially I was a little disappointed on its grip and comfort, but after a couple thousand miles the tires have started to shine with good traction wet or dry, offer good level of comfort and quietness.

Right before F1A3 I ran Hankook S1 EVO 2, also great tire for the price, but F1A3 feels somewhat more refined in its road manners, especially on road noise.

The steering feedback is a little numb but it can be the car and not tire, because I remember when I ran 1st generation F1A1 on my previous Subaru Legacy BPE 3.0R it had wonderful steering feel.

So I have no major complaint about this tire.

Bought these tires after reading good reviews on the web. I have driven them on motorways and street roads and can’t fault the comfort and grip of these tires. After driving other GTIs with Michelin’s and Pirelli’s, the grip levels are very similar but comfort of the Goodyear’s are way better than its competitors. The comfort does however sacrifice road feedback when compared to the other tires. For the price of nearly half the PSS this tire definitely provides excellent value for money.
