Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 3 Reviews - Page 13

Just had these put on my RX8. The previous tires were a budget brand fitted by the previous owner. The car is now quiet and relaxing to drive. When pressing on, the feedback provided by the tires really helps to know where the limits are and when those limits are reached, everything happens progressively and smoothly. I will definitely buy these tires again.
I have no idea about wet grip/handling or longevity yet, but will do another review after a few thousand miles

Compared to Michelin Pilot Sport 2 these feel a bit softer, at least the walls. Dry grip is at the same level as PS2... Comfort and noise are far better then PS2... On wear can't say anything but I'm afraid they'll wear out much quicker than PS2. All in all nice tire for a reasonable price...

Replaced OE Bridgestone S001 with these new Goodyear F1 ASY 3. Just completed first 3K miles and am impressed with tire. Looks good on the alloy with a good rim protection element. Tires have proved grippy in both wet and dry conditions and it's a comfortable quiet journey once you get your tire pressures bang on. It's relatively early days but so far impressed with tire.

previously have been on 2 sets of F1 A2, i have been good year supporter ever since i am using F1A2. The tire was quieter than A2 and was also more comfortable despite the low profile tire i am using rolling resistance was very good. grip on both dry and wet and braking is comparable to F1 A2.

Will definitely buy again.

Great tires. After replacing old one, it is like driving a new car.

Paid premium for these. Rather disappointed as it isn't a big improvement over the old ones

First impressions are excellent having had these tires fitted for 2 months and just over 4,000 mixed road miles.
These tires are noticeably quieter, more comfortable and responsive than anything I have experienced previously. Grip is faultless in wet or dry and easily handels the power and weigh of this car. A tire that matches the refinement, performance and surperb handling of the XF.
Would certainly recommend and buy again.

Maybe it's because I am changing from mid-range tires manufacturer to premium but boy what a difference those made. I haven't pushed them to the limit on braking but lateral grip was thoroughly tested.

I am very happy with every penny I've spent on them.

Best tires ever - considerably better than Asymmetric 1 and even better than the Asymmetric 2, can't fault them in any category, superb. Will be buying again definitely.

I've got to say I'm disappointed with these tires when compared to the Asymmetric 2.
They don't feel anywhere near as planted as they should - under steer is more pronounced - noise is also an issue, they say they are quieter...but they aren't. The look of the tire has changed as well, the side walls are larger and chunkier so no longer look like a low profile tire.
One good advantage of the Asymmetric 2 was the rim protector - it was nice and meaty and saved my rims quite a few times. The Asymmetric 3 has no where near the protector - doubt it would stop much.
All this is probably why the Asymmetric 3's are cheap compared to the 2's.

Real shame as the Asymmetric 2 was the best tire I could fined - hopefully they keep them going along side the 3's.

I changed my Goodyear Ultragrip Performance Gen-1 winter tires with Asmmetric 3 a while ago. I drove it both dry and wet roads. My first impression is this tires give you a really smooth, progresive and secure drive but its not so silent as i expected. Its definetly silent in new and clean roads but it can be little noiser in old and rippled ones. Even my winter tires have 70db on sound emission and this one 68; i cant really say that Asymmetric 3 is more silent than my winter tires. But it gives much more comfort and wet and dry grip above 10 degrees. I also tested its braking performance in dry and wet roads and i can clearly say that, it sitcks to road surface like a glue when you braking. Specially in wet roads grip is extremely high and braking distance is unexpectedly short. My winter tires promise a better fuel efficiency but these tires also give enough performance. At least for a E class tire, they give convincing results in fuel effiency.

I can't be sure about tire wear but so far it looks like it's never been usen; but will update 4 or 5000 kilometres later about wear condtion.

So far i can definitely recommend Asymmetric 3 and i surely would buy again!

Good Year F1 Asymmetric 3, Changed all four tires. My ST is standard with no modifications & it's transformed the cars handling & gives you much more confidence & feedback in the corners giving you a more relaxed driving experience. The grip feels excellent in the dry & to be honest the same confidence in wet conditions, Road noise is fine to hold a conversation at motorway speeds this depends on road surface. The wear looks fine at the moment after 2000 miles but I've not had them fitted that long. I used to have Continental Sport Contact 5 fitted which were good but all four tires were worn out after just 8000 miles which I thought was pretty poor so I changed to the Good Year Tires so far so good.
