Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6 Reviews - Page 2

Given 97% while driving a BMW 118d M Sport (245/35 R18) on mostly country roads for 30,000 spirited miles
Having had tires last as little as 3hours or as long as 5years I have had these on the car for 18months with at least another 6months left on them I expect. If the car didn’t chime and warn me of tire deflation I would never have guessed that a screw had given me a puncture and even then confidently drove home at 50mph. They do get sticky in hot weather but even Welsh winters don’t phase them. Rain, ice, snow and surprise floods on dark motorways are handled with ease.

Replaced factory Michelin Primacy 3, which lasted until 50000kms until a big puncture, so expected a lot of improvement in all areas. Had experience with Continentals (worst wear ever on a tire) Assymmetric 2s (fantastic tire) and Michelin PS4s (good traction but cupped badly. Assy 6 transformed my car, grip levels increased so much that it feels almost as a S tire. Noise eliminated compared to worn out primacy and still is quiet after 55000 kms. Sidewalls not rock hard but still a lot of information on the steering wheel. It starts to squeak a little before grip fallout so feels progressive. After 2 rotations and 55000 have only a bit of tread left, so wet grip is accordingly lower than new. Defo would buy again, unless Goodyear brings a new model.

Decided to buy these tires as they are good quality and some people said that they are comfortable, however maybe they drive them only on perfect roads. Here in the Balkans the roads are terrible, and to my sorrow, these tires are extremely hard, you feel every tiny bump on the road. They are made for fast driving on good roads or tracks (as the UHP name suggests).

Only done a few hundred miles on these (can’t comment on wear) but so far really impressed. Mix of average and smooth/spirited driving.

Ideal mix of firmness/compliance. For a family car anyway. They replaced runflats and I was worried they might be over-squishy, but they just aren’t. They’ve transformed the car and it feels both smoother and more sure-footed at the same time, with more predictable behaviour under load.

Not too noisy, and seem decent for rolling resistance.

Plenty of grip in the dry, but the wet traction and stability really is remarkable – including in some pretty deep standing water. Probably the best tires I’ve experienced for wet grip if not on the same car. You don’t have to be throwing it around to tell the grip is just ‘there’, which gives a lot of confidence – including braking. A world of difference to a couple of hire cars I’ve had lately with (branded) eco tires that just felt horribly aloof and skittish in the wet.

For ref I’ve got the 91 load (as recommended) -not 94/XL.

I have been using Goodyear Asymmetric in my all cars. Starting from A3 and A6 lately. My front A5 which I bought 4 years ago still has half of its life left when A6 fitted on the rear lasted only 14000 miles!

I made a mistake regarding these tires. I used to think they are overhyped because i could not see its qualities. It is quiet, comfortable - surprisingly for this kind of tire. Braking performance outstanding, confidence inspiring, wet and dry. Handling - I used to think it is not good but that was before i drove like it was supposed to. In the right conditions, meaning - summer time, when the asphalt is hot, it handles and grips like nothing else (my tire experience is limited but i've tried a few different compounds), very predictable and safe, sporty to the right amount. It also heats up not too quick not to slow, and it doesn't overheat. Grip is perfect dry and wet. Wear was at first not good or i thought it was, but with proper tire rotation you could get at least 50 000km from a set. The selling point of this is comfort and it is a great selling point, it absorbs the deep bumps great, the little imperfections though - could be better.
Less expensive than the pilot sports and a better tire - buy it.

Definitely the worst tires I have ever used. Wear is about 10 k. Never felt as good as the Goodyear efficient grip performance which I had before.

Not a good looking tire, but is very grippy in the dry and good enough in the wet. It is also very quiet and comfortable. It isn't a massive step over the Kuhmo Ecsta PS71's that I had previously, but these are a good tire. Also has some rim protection. But please Goodyear, male a better sidewall!!!

Given 67% while driving a Alfa Romeo GT 1.9 JTD (215/45 R17) on mostly country roads for 1,300 spirited miles
Soo, i have the tire for 2000km and so far i am very impresed with grip in wet and dry, before it warms up is bad but after the rubber becomes sticky and unstopable (i always smell burning rubber when i park my car), but the tires have a problem, outer sides are almost gone after 2000km and i eat tham down to the name of the tire, sidewalls are to soft (this are not XL) you can see it on the picture after the first day of use the tire had used marks just above the writing "EAGLE F1" and dont tell me i dont put enaugh pressure in becaus i put more than recomended, and the feedback and dynamic feel compared to Yokohoma Advant Fleva v701 is nonexistant until the tires are pushed well than in that area thay provide good feedback and overall operation, comfort is way better tham Yokohamas, also corner grip is way ahead Of Yokohama tires i used before, one more BIG p
PROBLEM in temperatures between 0-25°c thay work good, but after outside temps reach 30-35°c+ the tire become like a chewing gum and its terible, i enjoy tham alot more on the wet than dry

Dry and wet grip are excellent. The handling is awesome as well. It’s less comfortable than my earlier set of tires (a set of 16” Yokohama Advan a460’s, which absorbed surface imperfections better), but now I know what sporty tires really feel. It ran about 20k kms going into their third season now. I now wish my car had a few dozen more horsepower. The fuel consumption went down by around 10% despite this is a wider set than the Yokohama’s. I would recommend the Asymmetric 6’s but for stronger/sportier cars mainly to harness their full potential.
