Excellent tires, best I've had on a car so far.
My M135i had Michelin Pilot Super Sports (MPSS) when I bought it and these were grippier in the dry, however in the wet they were bordering on dangerous. The MPSS gave very little feedback in the wet and you could easily find yourself sideways putting the power down in 3rd going around a gentle bend on a dual carriageway!
Changing to Goodyear Eagle Asymmetric completely changed the behaviour of the car in the wet. Predictable, easy to control on the limit (or slightly beyond), lovely tires. They wear well too, I've just had 15000 miles out of a rear set and I drive around with the traction control fully off all the time (LSD on the back). Still good grip in the dry, but I do admit less grippy in the dry than the MPSS were.
All round the Goodyear Eagle Asymmetric can't be beaten in my view. I'd love to try another brand but I tried that before and they were much worse, so I'm not going to risk it!

Went from a set of rapid budget tires which came on the car to these and I was shocked. I never knew a car could handle so well on a set of premium tires. they transformed the handling and grip of the car, they honeslty feel like you are on rails when driving on these tires. Only issue i have had is that the life of the tire is extremely short, although i do alot of backroad driving and spirited drives. I only managed to squeeze about 3 months and 3000 miles out of these tires. i am about t replace them and will consider using them again however may go michelin. Overall i do reccomend these tires if you are in the market.

I rarely uses back the same tire models as i enjoys trying out different make and models, but this is the first time for me to replaced a worn out set with the same mode.
No issue handling 440NM on a FF on the straight and corners.
Comfortable cruising as a family car too.
And most importantly, the pricing is very competitive, costing 30% lower than the PS4.

These are a very comfortable tire that are great in the dry and cabin noise is low.
However they really struggle to put power down in the wet and my tires started perishing after just 18 months.
They were replaced under warranty but i would not buy them again.

Same feedback as the assymetric 3.
Very good dry and wet grip, but unfortunately the lasted only for 28.000km in 2 years.
I think i wouldn’t buy them again because of their very fast wear.

The tire drives very good both on dry and wet conditions. I have tried continental, hankook, Michelin but these are one click above. It's the second time i choose them.
The only - is that if you push them too much they will lose their grip as they get too hot, but that is not the point for a tire like this.

I run a staggered setup (225/40 front, 245/35 rear) and honestly these tires feel amazing. The car feels very stable and inspires confidence at all speeds and conditions. You can feel when the tires are at their limit and they are very predictable, it's hard to lose control if you tried. They're also way cheaper than comparable Michelins or Continentals in my area so really a no-brainer.
Unfortunately I can't comment on wear yet but even if they wear quickly I wouldn't complain because the way they drive is worth it.
I did notice a performance loss at lower temperatures (below 10 C) but these are not winter tires so that's expected.

Good overall grip, take a bit of time to warm on dry.
Feel extremely safe and confident in wet.
Slight noise but don't really bother me or affect my ride experience in any way.
Great tire overall

I am on my second set of these tires on my Audi. Lots of high-speed highway and country road usage. Grip is amazing, feels slightly less grippy in the wet, but in my opinion this is due to cars' weight. Each set lasts for about 15k miles or 2 years.
Road noise is minimal and the feedback even on a cruise ship like mine is pretty good.
I bought a BMW Z4 recently and I am looking to get a set of these for the next summer (if there isn't a newer model of course).
All in all: great tires for the price, feels secure and predictable. Definitely recommend a purchase
