Driving on for 30000 miles
Excellent for the money. Wear out on the quicker side but the wear is even and hasnt become noisy. Balance beautifully. Excellent grip and wet weather manners. Definitly buy again.

Writing about the Goodyear Eagle F1 Sport given 80% (225-55-17-)
Driving on mostly town for 100 spirited miles
I thought I'd throw up some quick initial thoughts while Goodyear/ Beaurepaires Australia have a "4 for the price of 3 tires" promo going on the F1 Sport.

I was a bit hesitant to buy these due to the small number of reviews, but they appear to be a very good tire. The ride is comparably plush/ soft over bad surfaces- but not in an uncontrolled manner like you can get with cheap soft walled tires. The noise levels are also very low over ruts/ coarse surfaces. The steering isn't razor sharp (given the plush ride you wouldn't expect it), but load the suspension into corners and the tires grip well and the feedback is very good and confidence inspiring. I haven't pushed them to the limit, but they certainly don't fall in a heap if you start pushing them enthusiastically on corners. There's reassuring feedback and no feeling of the side walls flexing/ rolling over.

I haven't tested out the braking, so can't comment on that yet.

They have really wide rim protection strips and they will offer excellent wheel protection should a kerb be misjudged.

On the sidewall they have "Engineered by Goodyear in Europe, made by Goodyear in China". But don't let that put you off buying them. It's often surprising where even expensive high end performance tires are made.

The previous tires were 215/55R17 Yokohama E70 DB. Noisy, dangerous rubbish with poor ride/ handling and dangerous long braking (OEM fit.) It has also had 235/50R17 P Zero Asimmetrico tires- which had sharp steering and handling, but also gave a loud rough ride. The F1 Sport make it feel like a different vehicle, with a more luxurious ride combined with decent handling. I'm very impressed with them so far.

Background- I've owned lots of hot hatches and modify cars. The Kizashi is the family runabout- but I don't like compromising on tires (ie. safety) for any of my vehicles. The Kizashi has an upgraded rear sway bar fitted which vastly improves the turn in on corners. Other tires I've currently got on different vehicles: Goodyear Asymmetric 6 and 2, Dunlop Sport Maxx 050 (OEM fit) and Pirelli P Zero PZ4.

Really good tires. It has great comfort when driving in wet and dry. Great grip inn the dry, a bit worst in the wet, if you push it. But the tires tells you that waay before you start to slip. So that should not be a problem for a daily driver. The only minus in my opinion is the fuel economy the tires give, compeared to a lot of other tires. I think these tires is really good value for the money,

These came standard on my 2011 Suzuki Kizashi in 215/55R17. Fairly quiet with a comfortable ride, but nothing out of the ordinary if you want to improve a car's safety. I had to emergency brake on a dry road when someone turned in front of me. The stopping distance was scary from only 60km/h. I replaced them shortly afterwards for a better tire. (The review is a bit late, now being 2022, but given the lack of reviews I thought I'd add my thoughts.)

These tires have covered 33000km and are half worn, very evenly.
I have driven this car for 2000 km since buying it. The tires have average grip in wet and dry. "Sport" is a joke. Bends I could take easily and safely in a 3.5L FWD Maxima on Goodyear Eagle F1's are now "challenging"... last week in damp, not wet, conditions I had a progressive and gentle 4 wheel slide on an urban corner at around 45 km/h which the Goodyears would take in full rain at 60km/h. I am having to relearn my braking points and speeds step by step on my daily commute. They are OK for braking both wet and dry -in a straight line- but the Kizashi's brakes are outstanding. I am no longer confident taking bends in the wet.
