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.

Changed out of stock Kumho tires at around 17,000km about two years ago. Having clocked 30,000km on highways and city roads, the F1A5 still retains much of its well-reviewed dry and wet grips and handling characteristics. Even now, it performs well for dry and especially wet braking. At the same time, being UHP tires, the noise and comfort characteristics are not exceptional, but I find them still acceptable. Rolling resistance was high for the first 20,000km; thereafter, the drop in resistance was noticeable, with the car able to roll and coast for longer distances. All in all, very satisfied with the overall performance of the tires, especially when they cost about 20% to 25% less than the PS4.

I was using Primacy 4 prior and was looking for new tires that can drive relatively fast in the wet without
experiencing aquaplaning like the Primacy 4 did and yet comfortable. Initially wanted to give PS4 a try but decided with AS5 as it was newer and cheaper.
I was not disappointed at all - AS5 gives you great confidences driving in the wet and did not experience aquaplaning where I used to with Primacy 4.
The ride quality may not be as plush as Primacy 4 but firm yet still comfortable. You will notice the tire noise getting louder once you hit over 10000km.
The tire threads still have about 5mm left and should not have issues running at least another 20000km.
Overall a good tire which suits my casual spirited driving.
awesome tires. This is the third outfit I've been wearing. for me the best.
The best in the water and impressive in the dry.
They are unrivaled to this extent.
Incredible grip in all conditions, these tires feels amazing. Better grip than the Dunlop Sport Maxx tires I had previously, but the trade-off for all that grip is very poor wear rate. Overall I would choose the Dunlops over these as they lasted far longer and gripped almost as well.
Exceptional tire . Excellent wet grip and excellent braking.Very good dry grip and excellent braking. Very comfortable tire with little noise. Unmatched value for money.
I had Pirelli run flats on the car and the front two were knackered. While in the shop I decided to replace the rears as well. Best decision I’ve ever done - I cannot stress how much putting non run flats has improved the car. It’s like a completely different vehicle. I’ve only got 17’s on mine so was sceptical how much it would help and I was worried the ride would become spongy. How wrong I was. For reference my Goodyears are the reinforced version.
Incredible grip in the wet, incredible grip in the dry. awesome wet braking, awesome dry braking. Impressive comfort, very, very long durability. For me the best tire I've ever had. A lot of work is ahead of the other premium brands to improve these.
I wanted to write this review after having Asymmetric 5 for quite a few miles. I have 20,000 miles on them and I think it is time to sit down and share my feelings. These tires fit my car from the start like gloves. Exceptional grip in wet and dry. In the wet they always warn you before reaching the limit. They have incredible reactivity. I have used some well-known brand and I can say without hesitation that "in my car" they do not come close to the sensations of the Asymmetric 5. The tires themselves make your driving style adapt to them. I can't say they are the best on the market. It would be lying. What if I can say without hesitation that in this measure and in this segment you will not find anything so balanced in everything. They do not disappoint at all. Just watch the Tirereviews video and you'll understand what I'm saying. the Asymmetric 6 can only beat it in wet braking. But it is that the Asymmetric 5 have an exceptional braking.!! In my country I bought them for a cost of €75 each, to compare say that the PS4 cost €106. Little to doubt when I have to change them, I will return for the Asymmetric 5. Also say that like everything in life my opinion is subjective. These are perfect for my car and may not be enough for yours. In my case grip, braking, driving sensation and comfort and duration are impressive. I hope that my review if you are thinking of putting them in your car has been useful to you. Put them without hesitation
