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).

Having driven a number of leading high performance tires(Pirelli P Zero Dunlop Sport Maxx,Goodyear Eagle F1 asymmetric,Continental Sport Contact3),I was very pleased with all aspects of this new offering from Goodyear.The handling in both wet and dry was especially pleasing considering my driving style and 200 horses to the front wheels.Compared against the Conti 3s they replaced,the difference is night and day ,with upmost confidence in cornering especially worth mentioning.Would I recommend?,most definately,would I buy again?...yes.
Replaced Goodyear F1 Asymmetrics - which were excellent in every respect.
First impressions: 1) less noise - especially on rough stuff and concrete 2) more compliance - especially at low speed. Car feels as though it has additional springs fitted 3) No understeer at all. Grip is fantastic.
Brilliant tires. Highly recommended.

I brought these on reccomendation and was immediately very impressed with grip in both Wet & Dry conditions. When pushing the car on roundabouts and tight bends the tires stick to the road like glue. Really impressed with them and definately notice a quieter road noise compared to my previous Bridgestones Potenza's. Highly recommened.

I fitted these to my Honda S2000 and the big difference compared to the Bridgestones they replaced is comfort. Rather than crashing through even the smallest pothole the ride is noticably more better. The grip is as good / better - yet to see how long they last, but assuming they don't fall apart I will be buying these again.
After reading the positive comments from this forum, I decided to try these new F! Assy 2. I have always been a Michelin Pilot Sport fan but we all know that although a great tire, the cost is a major prohibitive factor. Anyway after doing only about 25,000 on the PS2, I decided to try something else, apart from Michelin or Continental. Tried the Dunlop Sportmaxx but the ride was a bit harsh. Had two bad experiences with Pirellis so would not touch them ever again.
These newF! Assy 2 are great!! I just got them fitted today and being new, they are superb to drive on. The ride comfort is excellent and despite it being wet today, the grip was very good. The reason I did not use the word excellent was because the guy told me new tires have a protective layer over them which would take some time to break into. I ll wait till I have done about 1000 kms before I comment on them again.
But so far, I am very happy with them.
Thank you guys for all your help and feedback. Really appreciate them.
Hopefully, i have found a Michelin Pilot Sport alternative..
superb, unflappable, utterly faultless.
I get such good feedback and progression in dry and drenched roads, and after 10K there is hardly any sign of wear.
Great tires suit the anniversay with uprated eibach suspension very well,Great grip from new in wet and dry,great wear,low road noise and good economy.In my opinion far better than the Pilot Sport 1's that the golf rolled out the factory on.Approx 5mm rim protection too and around £30 per tire cheaper than the Pilot Sports.Have no trouble dealing with my 200bhp/300ft soot chucker.Will buy again for sure.
These have replaced previous Goodyear F1 Asymetrics. Feel very similar in both wet and dry which means very good, however they seem to have improved in three key areas: 1) The treadwear index is now 300 against previous 240 which suggests that you should get 25% more miles out of them, 2) they are quieter 3) the biggest improvement ride comfort - the original F1s were good in this respect, these are fantastic!
Have only covered about 500 miles in these tires so far, so just about scrubbed in. Changed out the original Yokohama Advan A13 tires which managed to get 12000 miles out of. The grip levels I would say are on par with the yokohamas and with AWD I like to get the most out of high speed corners and roundabouts although not tried during the wet yet. The Goodyear's have very low noise levels at normal and high speeds, the car feels allot more planted now with little or none tramlining so already a better buy than the yokohamas and at about £160 a corner, fitted at Elite Tires in Essex, it's a no brainer.
I will update this review once a few more miles are on the treads but its all thumbs up from me here at the moment, very pleased.
This is a huge improvement over my old Continental Sport contact 2. The dry grip is phenomenal and I came across heavy rain while driving on the motorway at high speed (160km/h+), but the feeling was the same as if the car was glued to the road. You may think this tire will impact the fuel consumption with its "sticking" feel, but I got an average of 0.5-0.7 lt/100KMs less at average speeds (90-130km/h). The tire also feels soft and very quite, yet it is very direct in the steering and extremely progressive. On spirited drive and high turns, I feel the suspension works more as the tire stays true to the road and after one year I finally stoped seeing the ESP light go on and I can use my Normal and Sport mode in my electronic suspension (DCC) without being afraid or feel discomfort. All 4 corners are glued to the road, period. Maybe an overkill for my GTi which has been transformed from a funny all around sporty car to a high performance vehicle ( I feel I need more power now to make it spin or twist. Lastly, this tire takes minutes to warm up in normal driving. As for wear and comfort I will write again at around 5,000miles (I know my views and comments are very biased in comparison to worn/ dryed Contis 2...)
