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 bought 4 of these, to replace the run flats on my e92 bmw 330d.
I found them to be too soft and spongy. extra roll on the car.
The wear was very good though. got 18k plus out the rears and 25k plus on the fronts.
Replaced them with Pirelli p zeros which had less grip but were stiffer.
Replaced the rear pirellies with Avon ZZ5s which had by far the most grip out the 3 tires. But did wear the quickest. Would defo fit the Avons again. will not get the goodyears. Pirellis are still on the front waiting for them to wear down and will replace with Avons.
+ Excellent grip in the dry. Just as good in the wet, best tire I have had in these conditions
+ Very quiet, hardly any noise even at motorway speeds
+ Great comfort even with cars that have hard suspensions
+ Best tire I have owned for minimizing tramlining, especially if you travel regularly on bad road surfaces
+ Best road feel. I have owned Dunlops, Yokohamas, Continentals, Pirellis & Bridgestones. The Good Year beats them all in this.
Cons:
- Very soft quality rubber, can easily pick up damage from scrubbing a pavement & even potholes
- Can wear out quicker than other brand tires. This was also pointed out by a very experienced tire mechanic
Overall: I always thought these tires were all hype after reading some reviews. But after trying a pair on my old Skoda Fabia, there is no going back. Improved the handling a lot over the Bridgestones & Pirellis I previously had fitted. Just a note that as pointed out in the cons, you will most likely be replacing these more than other tires in the same price range.

Have change to this tire from PS3 Michelin, my first impression was it is not as sticky on the road to compare to the PS3. The steering feel is not as precise I think mainly the design of the rim protector that make the tire more square at the edge. But the tire is surprising soft, & quiet after 30,000km run with still 50% thread. I do about 70% highway 30% city. But overall it is a good performance tire. However becos of the price & the quality , I will consider during my next purchase ( I realize that Goodyear tire thread will get uneven after using it for sometime just like the Goodyear excellence when I did my balancing during rotation) it is kind of frustrating though cos I make sure the pressure is kept at 30-32 psi . It make the steering wheel vibrate a bit when I am driving fast . Not to mention it is made in Germany. But other then that it is a good tire .

Superb grip on twisty country roads (Hardly ever need to use the brakes to take a even the fastest bends)
Great wet & dry weather braking, much better stopping distance than the Nankang 'doughnuts' that were fitted to the car when I bought it.
I really like the 'Rim protection' sidewall ridge on these tires too, especially when my wife borrows the car as she hasn't got a clue as to how near to the curb the wheels are when she's trying to park.
I would say my only gripe with the front set of Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 2's I bought last year is they have only lasted for just over 6,000 miles, which is a little disappointing, but I suppose if Goodyear made them more durable, they would be no better than the very pretty, but totally useless, Nankang doughnuts that were fitted before.
i bought my Ford Focus ST3 2016 with Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 2 , the handling of the car is good , i like the rim protector lining , but this tire only lasted 2800KM, i dont race or drag ,
had run flats on when purchased . Horrendous ride ,extreme road noise . Have 19 inch M.Sport wheels and suspension .These tires have transformed ride . Decreased noise and handling predictability.
Bought these to replace all four Bridgestone Potenzas on my 120d M Sport and what a difference they make. Much quieter, ride comfort incredible for a RFT and great performance. Can't comment on wear rate yet but on first impression of this recent purchase these Goodyears are excellent.
Replaced all 4 worn Bridgestone Potenza A050 Runflats. Although the Bridgestone were a high quality tire offering good levels of grip in both wet and dry conditions, with decent wear rates, they never inspired me with as much confidence as these Goodyear tires, especially in wet conditions. The car feels lighter, rides much quieter and there is a huge increase in comfort. I initially experienced a softer, floatier feeling to the steering but the BMW F32 Series hasn't got the pin-sharp handling to match the sexy coupe looks anyway, even in M Sport trim. That's probably down to electro-mechanical steering! No more having to concentrate solely on avoiding potholes through fear of potentially causing damage to my suspension.. Or my back!
Changing to this conventional tire has allowed me to reap more enjoyment out of my vehicle. It has made driving more pleasurable. I now tell people that my vehicle has BMW handling with a Mercedes-Benz ride quality.. All down to the Goodyear Eagle F1 AS2. If you are considering replacing all 4 Runflats on your BMW I can strongly recommend this tire!!
Please ensure you adhere to the law in relation to safety protocols i.e. space-saver spare wheel or a can of tire goo with tire compressor.
Best tires I ever put on a Golf MK5 GTI. They inspire confidence. I have put a few sets over the last couple of years. Wear is good and cost is on the high side but I'm a firm believer that tires are cheaper than body panels. The wet and dry grip is outstanding.
I have put the Goodyear Eagle F1 AS2 on a Lexus IS200, BMW330i and MB C200 Kompressor, and each time I would appreciate the levels of grip, comfort and road noise. On the Lexus it replaced Bridgestones to give me the quietest & comfortable ride I was looking for with masses of improved grip. On the BMW it replaced the standard fit Run Flats, the increase in comfort was night & day and a must for those running Run Flats although the trade off was less precision and feedback on the turn in, but grip was great. On the Mercedes C200, it was just massively comfortable. Overall I found the grip to be very good in wet & dry, ride is comfortable and quiet and the wear over a few years was very good. Hence I recommend these to everyone I know.
I also posted a review of the Sport Contact 6 which was pretty good but still contemplating using these or the new Goodyear AS3 next.
