Fit these around two years ago to replace some very worn Pirelli tires on the front. They were exceptionally good in the beginning with great feedback and grip, even in the wet. The car drove like it was on rails and could be pushed.
The issue I have is that these tires have worn much quicker than expected, which is a surprise on a relatively low-powered car. I only managed to get 8k from them before the grip and feel seemed to fall off a cliff.
The tires are now less inspiring, wandering a lot and spinning up in dry or wet conditions - understeer is now a relatively common threat.
They were fantastic to begin with, but I'm ultimately disappointed in having to replace them after so little when other tires have lasted much longer.

Did 35,000 miles over 3 years before replacing. As they got older they did loose the sharpness on turn in and had to be replaced because the outside edges wore but the majority of the tread was still probably 2-3mm
Had a rear set of 255/35/18 on at the same time. These wore more evenly and were only close to the wear bar, not down to it, when I changed the whole set.
Swapped for Michelin pilot sport 4's, so can only hope they are as good.

Excellent grip in dry and wet conditions. In terms of noisy levels, I would say that were OK. The front tires lasted less than 6,000 miles and therefore I had to bring the back tires in front. I tried them for second time and I kept the front tires until the "change levels". That was at 7.200 miles where I bought a new pair. So I am not satisfied at all of the weariness. My next choice was Michelin Pilot sport 3.

I've driven several tires over the years. My car came with Pirelli Cinturato's. After that I've tried Continental Sport Contact and Dunlop Sport Maxx. But the Goodyear Eagle F1 Assy 2 are the ones for me. I had to get used to the tires the first week, but after that it was perfect! A very good tire in both dry and wet conditions.

Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymetrical 2, overall great tire. Had them on the car for 50,000km. I would definitely buy them again, and recommend them to everyone.

I have been using these tires for years and my Audi a4 b6 avant has no competitors on roundabouts and road grip itself at any legal or ilegal speed absolut dream u can push it very very hard words can't describe it trust my car and tires 100% and i am a hard to please person. People driving with me are always amazed as well. Attention they are about to sell out the last tires as one of my mates told me in tire shop and seems like they are not making them so basically they won't be long in stock online either it's just a matter of time.

God overall feel and grip. The wear is a bit disappointing compared to previous tires I have had from premium brands. Wet grip has started to deteriorate at 3.5mm, but before this was probably one of the best I have experienced. The rim protection is a must in my opinion if buying.

I live in Thailand and am about to purchase my third set of EF1 A2. I had made in China and Thailand versions of this tire before. The current one is made in Germany and lasted 40% longer than the other two!! Same car similar driving style. All three sets on my Beemer performed as indicated. Driving during heavy downpours in monsoon time is something that is done with confidence. The car also keeps its course well when conducting sudden evasive actions, dry or wet. The EF1 A3 is not yet available here till early next year so I am told. I will therefore replace my tires with another set of A2s (made in Germany again). I highly recommend Eagle F1 Asymmetric 2 for anyone driving in (semi) tropical conditions!

This is the second set of 4 Goodyear F1 Assy 2 I have fitted to this car, we also have them (second set) on an Alfa Romeo Brera Spider.
The first set I put on the Brera went 20K miles, great grip and smooth silky quiet, very little road noise, perfect. Naturally I was confident in buying a second set. These 4 tires are so noisy, a mix of excessive road noise and humming varying on different surfaces, Driving is now very tiring. It will cost a lot but will have to replace them with something else, I just cannot keep them. I have been in touch with Goodyear and they have told me to have the tires taken off and they will be sent to Germany for testing. A ridiculous suggestion. Goodyear have no tech engineers in the UK! The tire noise label on tires is nothing to do with cabin noise, its a drive by rating.
With the level of customer service and lack of care shown I will never ever buy Goodyear again.
