Owners rate the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 5 highly overall (83% average), with the vast majority praising its strong grip in both dry and wet conditions and a confident, sporty feel. Comfort also comes through as a real strength for a UHP tire, and many report crisp steering and stable handling. The main reservations are more mixed: around two in five owners mention tread life and road noise, with experiences varying from excellent longevity and refinement to faster wear and a noisier ride, while a smaller group note reduced cold-weather grip.

After viewing many of Tire Reviews’ You Tube videos, and reviews on other sources, I cannot believe the difference between the Avon ZV7s and GY Eagle F1 asym 5 there is.
Avon’s: Noisy, quite hard (bumpy), ok steering, and more braking distance.
Conversely
GY Eagle F1 asym 5: much quieter, smoother drive, precise steering, better coasting (taking it off cruise control and letting run out), less braking braking distance
(I haven’t driven in rain thus far, but by all accounts GY Eagles are better).
All told, it is my ‘subjective opinion’ (anyone whom watches the YT videos will get the reference), so thank you Tire Reviews for your honest opinion, and for helping me have a car that’s even more of a pleasure to drive!!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
So, I did an initial review after about 5,000 miles. But I have now since taken them off the car to put on another car. In the meantime, I upgraded to 18" wheels on the current car, and have bought another set of Asy5's for that. If that doesn't tell you enough, well I dunno?
Anyway, now I have covered approximately 17,000 miles in the car with the current set of 17" Asy5's. And now they are off the car, I can confirm tread depths across the tires.
On the rear tires, there is 6mm left. On the front, 4mm left. So when they go on the other car, they will be swapped around. I'll expect at least another few thousand miles out them both. Hopefully another 10,000 for the set. I'd be happy with 25k out of a set of tires anyway.
That said, the other car isn't going to be a diesel Focus, rather a Clio 197. So these tires will probably get quite a hard life at the end, so they may not last as long. I will update again when they are finished.

The Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 5 is really good. I got them in Dec 2019 on my Accord Euro R to replace the old ContiSportContact5 after watching your reviews on them. It is cheaper than Pilot Sport 4, S$130-135/pc for 225/45R17, PS4 is S$155-165/pc here in Singapore. Very fast steering action and good road feel and grip, good in the wet as well. I do not find them to be noisy. Downside, my fuel consumption went up.

Got these for my astra j 2.0 cdti
Dry grip is excellent .
Wet grip is excellent.
Comfort as expected in tires this low profile not good.
Wear seems good done 8k miles and they still have the little nubs from new on them seem to be wearing very well and I fly up and down some seriously twisty roads daily.
Aquaplaning seems to be pretty good obviously the low profile doesn't help.
Handling I'd best describe as glued to the road they feel completely stable, no side wall flex steering is ultra precise and the amounts of grip available is plentiful to the point your skill becomes the inhibiting factor.
I've had Michelin PS4 and continental premium contact 6 and pzero's and by far the best all-rounders are the Goodyear's I'd say the PS4 might have a slight noise and comfort edge and the slightest edge in the dry but behind considerably in the wet.
All in all brilliant tires.
This is a very brief first impression of the tires from literally having them fitted this morning and going out for a 30min drive to reset the tire pressure sensors. The conditions are wet and 7.5 degrees, both factors that would have made the Michelin Pilot Super Sports very compromised, as these are conditions that show up their (two main) faults. So, a perfect opportunity to see what the ASY5 do. The whole drive was gentle and sedate to scrub off the releasing compound on the surface of the tire (wet conditions) and to get a real feel of what these do at lower speeds.
Instantly the two elements that came to my mind are how quiet these are and how much better the ride quality is. Now these are the primary reasons for changing to this pure road orientated tire, so my expectations where pretty high given what I have read on this site. They actually exceeded those expectations by some margin. Never having done a straight back to back test like this I am blown away at how different two tires brands/models can make your car feel. Admittedly we are not comparing like for like here as the PSS is one notch up in performance/track day credentials, but as a road tire where this car will spend 100% of it's time, the Goodyears on this short drive are head and shoulders above the Michelins.
I have no idea about dry grip and the wear rate yet, but just on the first 10 miles, I know I made the exact right choice.
Once I get more miles on them in dry conditions I'll report back on how they feel subjectively to the PSS. But so far excellent.
Spent £1000's on 100's of tires before. Had sports tires, off road, SUV etc etc and always found something to improve on with a brand weather it be grip, comfort, noise or wear. Can report 0 things I hate about these.... oh except they are not £9.99 each and a packet of Rolos to fit
Been driving Michelin PS3/4 in all my cars the last 7years and this tire truly impressed,especially in dry, the PS4s struggled with rear grip on my 135i coupe now with the Eagle F1 asymm almost no wheel spin especially compared in colder weather, little bit more road noise to the PS4 but that’s marginal and considering the price difference the F1.5 would definitely be my next choice again, one last thing, the wear is almost identical 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻Great tire
Have had all the asymmetrics on my car cant really fault any of them they just seem to get a bit better each time.

Replaced Hankook Evo RFTs.
Wow! It's like a new car! Doesn't tramline, so much quieter, no bang wallop over anything other than a tiny stone, no constant rumbling. Steering feel is much better and lighter, noticeably quicker, and the whole car feels so much lighter. Tons of grip, and surprisingly less body roll. Amazing! No more run flats ever again!

Fitted to VW Passat to replace Pirelli Cinturato killed of by pothole and puncture.
The handling and steering precision are very good, BUT they are very noisy, You can feel every pebble in the road, a rough surface vibrates the steering wheel. On a smooth surface they are fine but on "tar and gravel" surface they are very very noisy. I think the sidewalls are much stiffer than the Pirelli's which gives the sporty handling performance but transmits all the road vibration into the car.
Recently fitted Goodyear Eagle F1 Assymetric 5s to my Audi S5 replacing Hankooks that came on the car. The difference is noticeable and a huge improvement. Better grip wet and dry, composed handling and improved comfort and ride all add up to an outstanding result. I would have no hesitation in recommending these tires to this car.
Going from the stock OE Asymmetric 2's to these would be a decent step up or so I thought, while the tire is good in general the unbelievable road noise at 60mph+ is horrific and certain surfaces seem to exacerbate the problem. By far the noisiest tire i've every heard, it may be the 20" in conjunction with a harder compound and tread pattern. Apart from this the tire is rock solid performance wise, A6 Allroad 272 is heavy car but these are not phased at all.
