I have had these tires on my BMW 320d now for 6,000 miles / 6 Months. I am very impressed with the wear on these! My tire pressure is 36PSI all round and I have very even wear all over the four tires. The thread depth now after 6,000 miles is down to around 6mm. These are wearing nicely and they are a very nice tire to drive on! Definitely recommend these on your car! Would I buy again? 110% I would!

Best tire i had 10/10

After 45 000 the Tire on the inside was cracked all around. The outside of the Tire was perfect. Tread left was 7mm. This to me was unacceptable my dodge tire set is Parkour pk07 tires and they are exactly the same size as they were purchased 4 months earlier 59000 Tread left 6mm but no cracks no defects.

I've had these fitted for around 2000km, so not a long time. I've been very happy with their grip and handling in the dry and wet. (I bought them in 235/55R17 as a more comfortable "touring" tire for long trips- my other wheels are 19" with 255/40R19 ContiSportContact 6 tires- they're very noisy on coarse road surfaces and the wheel rim is very easy to kerb as they've got a pathetic rim protector strip.)

Back to the Asymmetric 2, in 235/55R17 they give a quieter ride but with the safe grip and handling I desire.

I haven't scored them high in "Buy Again" as I'm about to have two replaced under warranty. They've both developed lumps/ depressions in the sidewalls. A bit of searching showed up another person with a BMW who reported "lumpy sidewalls" as a problem too. A third tire has a very small lump as well, I'll be keeping an eye on it. (If you're checking for lumps do it by running a finger around the sidewall.)

As a road orientated tire for use in a variety of conditions and situations, you really won't go far wrong with these. They offer very balanced performance and frankly astounding longevity, especially considering they have seen use on everything from city streets to technical tracks and alpine passes.

In the dry.
When new, I was impressed by the grip and traction these tires offered. Hard launches resulted in minimal slip and corners could be attacked with absolute confidence. Their on-track performance was admirable for a road tire and although they went off after several hard laps, they remained communicative and progressive despite being overheated.

In the wet.
I tend to avoid driving in the wet too much however I found these tires to be great when new-good feedback and progression but perhaps lacking slightly in outright grip. These qualities remained throughout their life with only their aquaplaning resistance diminishing once past 50% wear, a trait which I imagine most tires will suffer from to some degree.

Noise, comfort, mpg, longevity.
Although these are the attributes I value the least on this car, the F1 A2 performed faultlessly in all such areas. I have never noticed excessive noise, mpg has always been surprisingly good and I found them more comfortable than the continental M3's they replaced without any obvious trade off in steering precision. Their longevity remains a constant surprise, they just don't wear out anything like as quickly as I would have thought. In fact, I wish they had worn out faster so I'd have had an excuse to try something else!

Summary.
As a do it all tire I would really recommend the F1 A2, with one caveat. I do a fairly low annual mileage, using my car mainly for fun and found that their performance dropped noticeably after several years. Tread depth was still high when I first experienced this and at that point they hadn't been overheated on track. Cold temperatures also seemed to affect the tires far more significantly in the last couple of years which wasn't the case when new, so I can only assume that they have perhaps hardened over time despite being stored in ideal conditions when not in use.

For that reason alone I couldn't completely recommend them as a tire that might see 5+ years of service on a sparsely used performance car, but would suggest that anyone using their car in a more regular, daily driving scenario would be very happy with them.

As for whether I'd (theoretically) buy them again, yes and no. I wouldn't on my car given the age related performance degradation but would, and have done so, on my girlfriends Z3 (F1 A3) as I feel they are a great tire for the money and suit her usage pattern perfectly.

Pros - Handling and wear
Cons - Nothing in particural
Overall - Very good summer tire in my opinion

Drove them for around 30,000 miles.
Too expensive for what offering. They should bear the name Mediocre year F8...
The wear is terrible. Need to be to motorway for half an hour dricing more than 120km/h to start warming up. For town wet cruises close to dangerous.

The tire is a very good overall performer. Grip and braking feels very good at both dry and wet (not a full 9 but closer to 9 than to 8). Driven on a rather mediocre quality of asphalt they have appeared to need some more warming up before they reach their best performance but after that, performance is very good. There are two negative points however, but they may be circumstantial: first is that in very tight corners they have a tendency to skid a bit (but this may also be due to the asphalt quality).
Second negative point is "some kind of wear" but let me explain: Greek summer is tough on the tires and although there is no actual tread wear, there is a performance deterioration which made me change them in just over 3 years and 33.500km with a tread height that would certainly not dictate a tire change.
Have recently replaced them with the asymetrico 3 which right from the start feels to have undergone some improvement....

Good tire but jesus Christ they are useless on UK roads! a single pot hole will cause side wall failure and any minor bumps feel like your car has 0 suspension. The sidewalls are too stiff and cause premature failures often, just google UK road users of these tires and you will see. I have replaced all 4 tires 3 times from side wall failures in 40k miles. They also wear very fast and are too stiff on uneven surfaces. Would not recommend, have no swapped to non RFT's and its so much better. Just take a tire repair injection kit or hell even pay for the AA to tow you and you will save money on needlessly replacing tires from side wall failures.

For the street these are just fine, they seem to have sufficient grip and I haven't noticed any hydroplaning or dangerous reactions. We'll see how they do as the miles build.

For autocross I am less than impressed. At my last event I found them to lack ultimate grip, and were snappy at the limit. I was sliding around the entire course, and couldn't lower the pressures anymore without going on the sidewall.

These are the run flats fitted to a BMW 330D from new, they are just about ok on a newly resurfaced perfect road but on UK roads they are awful. The ride quality is appalling, although BMW must take some blame as this is how the car was supplied.
Both rears suffered sidewall splits originating internally when less than 1/2 worn at about 12000 and 14000 miles and I am now replacing the fronts for the second time in 22000 miles, one tire has 5mm the other 6mm remaining tread, again due sidewall failure. Needless to say not with Goodyear. Real shame as I have used F1s for many years and been happy but the run flats are utter rubbish as 9 tires in 22000 miles should testify.

I didn't have these for long on my car as I ended up selling the car but for the time they were on there they were great. No problems what so ever. Although there was no wow factor to these, I can't remember any time where they lost traction etc. I had full confidence with these. Previously used the Eagle F1 Asymmetric with no problems and will be trying the new Eagle F1 Asymmetric 3 next. I've used all the premium brands and I always recommend Goodyear to my friends and these along with Continental are my favourite brands.
