For the last 10 years or so I have driven the Assymetrics 3, 4 and 5 and they were all great. So the 6 was a no brainer for me. The tire is perfect in all areas, except for the wear. Normally I drive 50.000 km easily on a set of tires. The 6 did 30.000 km and they were gone. Very disappointing. I now drive the Michelin PS5.

This is my 2nd set after 45.000 km using the oem tire dunlop sport max 050.. handling is good, braking is better than before, and i feel more safe driving in wet condition with my new goodyear than my previous dunlop.. but noise and comfort is only average… not better than my previous oem dunlop

A very good blend of sport touring tire. Switched from smaller diameter runflats, comfort is still marginally better. Tire performs as described, perfect for everyday use. Holds on in corners very well at any speeds. Good in wet and colder (3-7 °C) temperatures too. No manufacturing quality issues. Can't comment on wear so far. Overall very satisfied with my purchase.

Very good grip in dry and wet. Quiet on smooth roads. They roar a bit on rough surfaces. only worn 1.5mm in 13000 miles so should last 40000 miles.

I have been using the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6 225/50R17 98Y XL FP tires for approximately 66,000 kilometers on a "Diesel" vehicle with a "1.6 L engine," an "empty weight of 1550 Kilograms," "320 NM of Torque," and carrying a constant trunk weight of "20-50" kilograms depending on the season, used under Turkish conditions. I will endeavor to describe the tire's behavior under extraordinary variable road and climate conditions, including roads where you can find potholes, nails, or extremely slippery substances like gravel and dust residues, as well as debris like broken glass.
I previously used "Michelin Primacy 3" tires for about 45,000 kilometers. Except for the comfort and wear resistance of the Michelin, this tire (Goodyear) is one that can offer much, much more.
At the end of these 66,000 kilometers, I must admit that the tires are now definitely outside the conditions of safety and usability. I will be purchasing new tires as soon as possible.
The most important advantages of the tire:
(+) Extraordinary Road Handling Feel
Although I am a user who likes to drive very calmly and at a constant speed, I love entering corners hard and without losing speed. These tires are definitely very successful and safe companions in sharp corners (at temperatures between 15-45° Celsius). Thanks to the tire's extraordinary elasticity relative to the road, you can witness how it grips the road and tries to take its shape even when you park the vehicle.
(+) Braking Feel and Braking Distance
Considering the traffic conditions in my country, you may have to brake very hard in unexpected situations or stop the vehicle in an extraordinarily short time if you are braking. These tires never bothered me in this regard. They always stopped in the best way possible and did their job. Although I have come close to avoiding serious accidents many times, I believe one reason I can write this review today is the braking distance and handling performance of these tires.
(+) Extraordinary Steering Feel
The tires transmit a lot of road feel. In fact, especially on roads with many stones and small objects, the steering wheel can "tickle" (vibrate/tingle) your hands excessively.
(+) Wet Grip and Behavior
You feel absolutely no anxiety about braking distance and handling on wet roads. Even though my tires are at the end of their life right now, they still feel very safe on wet surfaces. I never experienced "Aquaplaning" during the time I used these tires.
(+) Price / Performance
It delivers such successful performance for its price that it's impossible for me not to be satisfied. As someone whose first priority is safety, I do not think it's possible to buy a tire that offers this level of safety, handling, and feel at the current price.
(+)(-) Damage from Other Objects
During the time I used these tires, I involuntarily came into contact with nails, glass, or similar objects many times. Although the tire shows considerable resistance to a certain extent against sharp and piercing foreign objects like nails or glass, unfortunately, with cutting objects that might not be a problem for other tires, you can encounter extraordinary damage with these. This absolutely, positively does not mean it is weak, but I get the impression that its durability is not on par with other tires.
(+)(-) Comfort
The tire does not provide an extra advantage in terms of comfort. The comfort the tire provides is definitely not bad, but it would be unfair to say it is comfortable.
(?) Tire Noise
I did not witness the tire making much noise during my usage. Silence is not a criterion I pay much attention to in a tire.
(-) Tire Life and Wear
In terms of lifespan, it is quite disadvantageous, and this is the aspect I consider the most negative about this tire. At only 17,500 kilometers, I observed wear on the tires that looked like 30,000 kilometers of use. I generally drive 40% in the city and 60% outside the city. I use the car at 50 KM/H - 70 KM/H - 76 KM/H in city conditions, while I drive at constant speeds of 90 KM/H or 110 KM/H outside the city. Even though I pay close attention to my wheel alignment and try to avoid sudden braking as much as possible, the tires absolutely do not wear accordingly. You would have to try very hard to achieve this level of wear on another tire.

Great tire, Very good grip levels in both dry and wet, also good on the comfort side of things. Used 2 full sets on my Bmw M140i, one full set on my wifes Bmw 220d and now just bought some for our S Class. Trustworthy tires

Best feature is the gradual and progressive loss of grip at the limit, rather than sudden loss

I wanted to try something new when buying new pair of fronts (at the back I left the previous gen. - EA5 - from former owner of the car).
Some professional reviews claimed that this is something between a touring and sports tire. However I quickly realized this was an overkill for my FWD 163HP diesel estate as it turns out it has very little to do with touring tires as claimed.
The grip on dry and wet is absolutely amazing and it is very difficult to find the limit of the tire on a car like mine. But I do miss more of the qualities of touring tires - I feel like it lacks aquaplaning resistance on highways and the noise on anything other than perfectly smooth tarmac is very high.
Wear: After one summer season of mostly highway motoring and occasional spirited driving on nice roads the tread on the fronts is down to cca 5.3mm. On the back I still have the previous generation - EA5.
Conclusion: Fun experience and definitely a great tire for sportier use, but I learned that I need something more balanced (characteristics-wise) for my usecase and car. After I wear these out I will buy something like Continental Premium Contact or Pirelli Cinturato.

I’ve been running the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric tires for about ~15,500 mi (~25,000 km), mostly on highways. Overall, they still perform very well — grip is strong, and they remain predictable in most conditions. Only recently have I started noticing some limits: in sharp, high-speed cornering and during hard acceleration, the car tends to lose traction a bit more than before.
Noise and comfort are phenomenal, easily among the best I’ve experienced. As for wet performance, I haven’t had the chance to properly test them this year due to the lack of rain, but last year they were also outstanding in wet conditions.
The tread depth is currently around 2.5 mm, so I'm expecting them to last another ~6000 mi (~10,000 km) or so. For the mileage covered, I’m impressed with how well they’ve held up. Solid performance, great durability, and still plenty of confidence in everyday driving.

For a road UHP tire I cannot fault this tire. In dry, warm conditions grip and feel levels are exceptional. Car came with PS4S tires and these feel ever so slightly more sporty. I cannot notice any difference in wet driving or comfort compared to PS4S. Wear for me is entirely accpetable, prev these tires lasted 21,000 on fronts (on FWD car).
Grip levels drop once temps are below 7C but this is a summer tire so nothing surprising and I have never felt like the tires were out of their comfort zone other than the rare occasions of sub 0C and snow.
The small rim protector has saved my wheels a few times, just don't expect a miracle.
I shop around and usually pay £130 for these.
Overall i reccomend and will continue fititng these to my car.

Literally the best tires I have ever fitted to the car- compared to Crossclimate 1 and kumho ps72. Driven for 2 years and around 15k miles they have around 3.5mm tread left. Driving style is very spirited, with a 40% highway driving of 140-160kmh, 25%mountainous roads and the rest is city with a lot of accelerations and stops. Dry grip is examplary- couldn't even get to their limit. You have to do something very stupid to loose the grip, even in 200bhp car. Wet handling is also fabulous. The tire was also driven during the cold months, due to the soft climate, but never in snow or ice. Can't comment on the comfort as the wind noise was always more than the tires one. These tires have seen a lot of potholes, but no damage has been observed. Will definitely buy again.

Good tire overall, dry grip is top notch, handles hard braking and fast corners really well, wet grip is also really good, has good water dispersion on long but not too deep puddles tho i feel like it could a bit better on deeper ones. handles heat well on a 1.8ton suv and keeps really well the weight transfer, driven so far 15k km and its showing some signs of use but it's holding up really well.
