Across driver feedback, the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 2 is widely praised as a confidence-inspiring UHP summer tire with standout wet grip, strong dry grip/braking, and a noticeably quieter, more comfortable ride than many OEM-fit rivals (especially when replacing run-flats). Many owners also highlight stable high-speed manners, predictable breakaway, and reduced tramlining. The most consistent drawbacks are faster-than-expected wear for some drivers and a softer sidewall feel that can reduce steering sharpness, with a notable subset also reporting sidewall bulges/damage sensitivity on rough, pothole-prone roads (particularly with run-flat fitments).

I have been very impressed with these tires. Extremely grippy in the dry, but also quieter and more comfortable than my previous Michelin Pilot Sport tires.
What is really impressive though is traction in the wet, better than any tire I've previously used.
I bought these tires having read rave reviews on various sites. Dry grip is superb but wet grip is now very poor. To begin with, they didn't disappoint but now with about 4 mm of tread at the front, they are now frankly dangerous in the wet. The main concern is braking in a straight line in the wet (and on slushy snow). I've had a few near misses due to unexpected failure to stop within what I would consider to be a reasonable distance. Bascially in short, these tires are great when new and until tread reaches 5 mm; after that be prepared to ditch them. For this reason, I don't think that they represent good value and I don't think that I would buy again.

New set just put so I will update further however the previous GY A2 lasted longer than the MIchelin PIlot Sport 3. After 19k miles Goodyear still had 3mm left, PS3 2mm. Impressed at the tires wear rate and price. Now fitted 4 GY A2 and car is now noticeably quieter.

I have a Nissan 300ZX twin turbo that I bought a year ago and modified to 465bhp (weighs 1530kg). With the Chinese tires that came with the car it would always fishtail like crazy and spin the wheels (even before I increased power from the stock 300bhp). I simply couldn't floor it in 1st or 2nd at all (without risking putting the car into a power pole). Only had these tires a month but since putting them on fish tailing and wheel spinning under WOT has disappeared. I can now put all the power to the ground. The change is remarkable. I am so happy, that is what I bought these tires to do. Cornering grip and wet grip also lived up to expectations (based on the reviews I read here).
Just fixed the tires yesterday and quickly noticed how they grip on the road. Really amazing on the grip level & comfort as well. Never try on wet handling yet but will update soon. The tires was quiet too. So far the best tire I'd ever used other than Yokohama Advan Neova AD08.
Set of four replaced old conti sport contact 3's. Amazing transformation :- quieter , awesome adhesion, far more precision. Strongly recommend for the A5, makes a great car even greater. Wear looking good so far.
good comfort on 520D Msport touring 2010 howecer I drive very gently and they lasted less than 9000 miles on the rere, original Dumlops had lasted 21000 on rere front still ok at 29000, tracking fine friving easy to moderate.
Real pirt as I enjoyed the bit of extra comfort but now feel I will have to go back to the original Dunlop SP sport runflats to achieve a reasonable mileage
Great tire overall, they perform extremely well under a powerful and heavy car (370hp/1800kg). I even did a bit of track driving with these, and they were surprisingly good. They did start losing traction after a few laps, but that was expected, as they are not trackday tires. Less wear after 6000 miles than I expected based on earlier reviews. I will most definitely buy these again!
Best tire ever use since i use my advan a10 and good year eagle f1 gsd tire, very grip on dry and wet road, simply best tire on the road. Will buy it again..nice very nice indeed.
A brilliant tire that's been made even better by it's recent price drop. Lasted 11,000 on the front of my ST which isn't bad considering they were put on not long after I first bought it meaning they really were hammered for the first few thousand.
Dry grip is brilliant, as is the wet. Although the wet grip did seem to tail off quite quickly as they dropped below 3mm.
Swapped these for the old Assymetric 1's that were on the back and it's unbelievable the improvements that have been made between the two!
Had the Dunlop SP Sport Maxx as stock on my car, but travelled 42,000KMs. The tires are not bad in dry condition but woeful in the wet (sometime dangerous when accelerating). So it was time to change.
Changed all four tires to F1 Asy 2 (doesn't come cheap approx $1500) and you can straight away see the difference, stick to the road and gives you confidence push it to the limit. The dry grip is excellent but it is the wet grip that is so impressive, you can take roundabouts and corner with confidence without sliding. I would strongly recommended these tires for high powered vehicle with 280+ Kw. Goodyear Asymmetric 2 is par with the continental sc5, but I personally think they are better both in dollars and grip.
