My opinion is that they are not extreme performance tires, I have had UHP from yokohama and toyo and they are more sporty than these ones. In wet they don´t get the asphalt as wells as I´d expect.
The breaking distance is not good enough for me.

Very quick wear. Used for a year and only covered 12,000 miles. Grip on wet roads are appauling. Not very good on the track either. These tires are only meant for town driving. After almost hitting the 50% indicator mark, I dare not take the car for long distance driving. Be extra careful on wet/damp roads.

I fitted these tires after the OE pilot primacy tires wore out surprisingly after only 12k
The key negative is that they are not that great in sub zero temps or snow but hey that's what I bought winter tires are for.
In the dry they are outstanding offering equal levels of grip, comfort and feedback, in the wet however I have never known levels of grip like it, the mich's were good to a point then just let go with no feedback, these give early warnings that you are approaching their limit, the feedback through polybushed suspension is so instinctive.
They did wear quickly on set 3 due to the rubber suspension bushes wearing, the car has done 110k now and I've never fitted anything else other than a spare set of wheels with winters on

an out standing and now discontinued in the uk. im on the 3rd and last set of these on my audi a4 sline, brill, cant get any more. they last 12000 miles yes low but unreal grip worth every penny in my eyes. and as im 4 wheel drive i need 4 at same time and they are cheep at £65 per corner, please good year bring them back.

F1s were the standard fit on the Suzuki Swift sport, they were put on when we bought the car and 2 years and 30,000 miles later the fronts have over 2mm left and the rears over 4mm, superb tire for this car, excellent in the wet and dry, wouldnt put any other tire on this car but the tire is hard to get now which leaves toyos or yokos but i will keep trying to get them!!

Front tires 205/55 R16, rear tires 225/50 R16.

It is early to answer accurately about wear or if I will buy them again, but after what would be 1/8th of their expected life, these tires are a revelation..

They are practically new, so EXTREMELY quiet (this is my first set of Goodyears - I had before Continentals, Dunlops, Pirelli, Michelin). Never had such a quiet tire ever before.

Excellent grip on dry and the grip on wet was SO FAR spectacular ; I drive a lot in Germany, and I 'tested' them at nearly 130 mph on dry and over 110 mph on wet tarmac (the very aggressive profile is leaving behind practically dry marks ploughing the water and spray a curtain of water behind the car. SUPERB handling and responsiveness.

One comment about the rolling resistence: between 70 mph and 80 mph has a higher rolling resistence than the Continetals & Pirellis and matches Michelin Primacy)

I will come back with a second review once i will add another 9,000 miles. that one will be the reality check. this review will have to wait though untilSeptember next year since i intend to fit winter tires before the big freeze.

PS

The tires are made in Germany ( I read a very negative comment about those manufactured in China....it shouldn't any difference, the brand should use the same recipe in both cases) and it is likely that the model will be discontinued.

good grip in dry, poor in wet, hopeless in snow. noisy tire made it feel like a wheel bearing had gone. lot of money for what they are. tire made in china..
just put avon zz3 tires on it, hundred times better, cheaper, better quality and made in the uk.

Awsome in the dry, my C32 felt amazing responsive and gripped very well on a summers day. When the tires are cold the F1's are horribly slippy the snow is an absolute no!

All I can say is, I love this tire! Ive had a set of these for 3 or 4 summers
they refuse to wear down. These are my "super car tires". You better get some
before you have to go and find a tyme machine to go back acouple years just to get another pair. Zooom

super like this tire. Bought last May 2011 and i'm very much impressed. Smooth driving and very confident on the street.

These tires are not for snow! Or the ice!

These are great summer tires! Ignorant!

Excellent allround tires on a Landrover Discovery although wear rate is high and the new prices are extortionate. I picked my set up brand new with brand new L/R wheels off a Range Rover Sport 4 years ago for £400 plus delivery. Bargain.
