Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 5 Reviews - Page 2

Given 60% while driving a Subaru Legacy Sport Touring 2.0D 6spd (225/45 R18) on mostly motorways for 25 average miles
Brought these in France 2020 after reading all the tests on them.
Imported the car to New Zealand with them on.
They were amazing tire fantastic in the dry and the wet. Perfect balance and the ability to really push them to their limits. But when they got about 50% wear they would struggle with standing water which is fair enough all tires behave like this.
They are also a very noisy tire on course chip NZ road's.
Then the car developed a pull to the Left at low speeds.
It also developed a wobble a low speeds.
Pulled the Front LH side of to inspect and to my amazement the tire casing had changed shape on the inside.
I had a set of Winter's so I fitted the complete set.
After inspection of all of the Goodyear Asymptotic 5's with about 25k wear 3 had done the same fault.
Total casing shape change and structural failure.
Also interesting that its failed in the same part of the tire on all 3!!
I've never hit a pot hole with these tires.
I would not recommend these tires. Will be buying Continentals or Michelin in the summer.

A good all round tire offering good grip in all weathers (other than snow/ice!)

Given 93% while driving a BMW 640 d gran coupe (245/35 R20) on mostly motorways for 21,000 average miles
These tires have lasted 21,000 miles and are 5-6mm all round on the front which is brilliant wear and they are runflat.

Dry and wet grip excellent and are as comfortable as runflats can be on 20 inch wheels.

These are gen 2 runflats and better than gen 1 dunlop sp sport maxx gt that were horrible and distorted when you hit a pothole. These have managed to hold up so far on potholes.

I think they will do 40,000 miles and i will do end of life review.

There's a new all season tire, can it be best?!
Given 94% while driving a BMW 640 d gran coupe (275/30 R20) on mostly motorways for 20,000 average miles
These tires are 275/30/20 runflat and managed 20,000 miles and were on 4.5 - 5mm all round untill a cut on the treadblock made me replace them which is a shame. I think they would have lasted minimum 25k and possibly 30k which is amazing.

These gen 2 runflats were as comfortable as can be and replaced the horrid dunlop sp sport maxx gt which when hit a pothole just bulged.

Dry and wet grip excellent and thrse are brilliant in runflat and at £275 each from Asda tires not cheap but do the job. The reason i keep runflats is i had a puncture and i drove to work and back 80 miles and then had to replace them as they shreded onnthe inside but kept me going. No tire sealant and no spare in the car means i keep the runflats and the tire sealant wouldnt have worked.

Given 89% while driving a Volkswagen Polo 1.2 TSI 105HP (205/40 R17) on mostly motorways for 31,000 average miles
Just finished my full set of Eagle F1 AS5's just now and they were wonderful. Really a very good tire, might even be the best tire I've driven on. Little oversteer, but loads and loads of grip, even in the wet. Well satisfied with how the handled. They were fitted onto a 2012 VW Polo 1.2 TSI with 130hp. Wear lasted for 50.000km with serious cornering. Wasn't gentle on them

I really enjoyed these tires. They have excellent grip in the dry and good in wet as well. Are a bit noisy but not too bad. Had them on for 20000+ kilometers including around 10 track days. The fronts were just changeg to Asymmetric 6s, the rears still have plenty of meat on them.

Given 83% while driving a BMW 325i (225/40 R17) on a combination of roads for 12,000 spirited miles
When I fitted them for the first time, on one of my cars it felt like it's reborn. Amazing handling, grip and feedback. I was astonished. The only bad thing is that only after a year and a half and about 20k kms, I have torn the internal structure and they have become impossible to balance, started to give vibrations at random speeds and had to replace them. Surprise surprise. I have replaced them with exactly the same ones. It's only because I admit that my driving didn't help. I always attack the corners with the maximum possible speed. And don't have much regard for speedbumps. I could see that only the edges of the tires was looking worn and the rest looked still great. They looked like they were driven hard on a racetrack. So I'm sure it's my fault that they have disintegrated inside so quickly. Probably the hot weather here (Dubai) didn't help much too. I am not sure how they handle in the wet, but I don't really care, haha.
Overall astonishing tire. Will recommend 10/10.

I've had these for 11 months and 10,000 on the front of my car and they're down to 2.5mm already.

Waste of money.

Don't buy these tires !!!

Given 83% while driving a Mazda 6 GH 2.5 (225/45 R18) on mostly country roads for 16,500 spirited miles
I had them for 2 summer seassons.. About 27000km. Last 2000km big decreased wet grip - during light rain I got little rear slide in 80km/h - I don't belive them in wet anymore, and little bit decreased dry grip. Hankook H750 (allweather) works now much better. I was expecting at least 3 seassons and 35-40tkm using. Now tire corners are out, center have about 3mm. I don't know if next tire will be Asymmetric 6 or Bridgestone Potenza Sport... Really don't know

Given 57% while driving a Lexus GS300h (235/45 R18) on mostly town for 12,500 easy going miles
I purchased a set of tires in 2021, all manufactured in the same year and made in Germany. Unfortunately, I can't speak highly of these tires. I reside in Riga, Latvia, where the road conditions are arguably among the worst in Europe. However, at this point, I've been using these tires for the second season, and they have deteriorated significantly. Recently, I had them balanced, and on the testing stand, it became evident just how "out of shape" they were. Consequently, when driving at speed and during braking, the entire vehicle experiences noticeable jerking. To be fair, I initially suspected issues with the brakes and replaced the brakes on the entire car, but the problem persisted. It was only then that I realized the root cause was the tires. I never expected such poor quality, and essentially, the tires became unusable halfway through their second season of use.

Given 42% while driving a Ford Focus ST250 (235/40 R18) on a combination of roads for 10,000 spirited miles
Lasted a decent amount of time which is about all ive got positive to say about them.

Decent in the dry and extremely poor on anything else, skates excessively on standing water to the point they feel unsafe even others commented while in the car how they felt as both a passenger and driver.

Forget going anywhere when icy or snowing either would be better with bald tires.

The Michelin Tires I had on at 2mm had more grip, you get what you pay for with these, buy cheap buy twice.
