Questions and Answers for the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric SUV
Can you used the Goodyear 235/60 R18 V (107) EAGLE F1 (ASYMMETRIC) SUV AT XL J LR in Winter/all year?
September 21, 2020
Yes you can, however the F1 Asymmetric SUV is a summer tire, and as such will have very poor performance in snow when compared to an all season and winter tire, and a drop in performance in the cold and wet.
Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric SUV owners generally praise grip, cornering and quietness in this small set of reviews. Comfort also attracts favorable comments, including on heavier SUVs. Tread life is the main reservation, with three reviews describing short service life or early replacement, although another mid-life account reports good remaining tread after 13,000 miles. The one owner who reviewed it again stayed very positive about wet grip after further mileage. That supports continued satisfaction for that driver, but does not resolve the wider split over wear or establish a general ageing pattern.

I've gone through various tires on various cars and never written a review. I initially wanted to buy the LS2 all season tire which was out of stock so rather than waiting I opted for the 2017 Eagle F1 Asymmetrical SUV XL tire from Goodyear. I've been very pleased. Noticeably quieter than the continental sport contact 5 and various Hankook and Pirelli tires. The wear is excellent. I've still got close to 5mm after 2 years use and newrly 13k miles. Very comfortable low noise and good grip. I'm driving a VW Touareg 2016 model so I'm not exactly throwing it about but it grips well when required
I bought these to go on my ML to replace the average tires it came with, my main aim was for wet grip. These deliver that is spades, simply a brilliant tire in the wet and equally as good in the wet, they just hang on!
The ML is not a light car so I am not expecting a lot of kilometers out of them, but they are doing very well thus far.
A very good tire that I will definitely buy again!

In March 2016, I bought four new F1 tires for my VW Touareg V8. I mainly drive medium speed highways (80-140 Km/h) and unpaved roads. Before I place my statement I have to say that the roads I use are very tortuous and I generally drive them fast. I am very much aware of tire pressure control and tire rotation (done at 5.000Km). My comments:
- Cornering is excellent, both on dry and wet conditions.
- Noise is surprisingly very good, even on higher speeds.
- Tire balance is perfect, no vibrations or shimming at all.
- The main issue of this product is wearing. I have less than 8.000 Km and I already have to consider changing tires before the next rain season in October (the outer borders are totally weared out and aquaplaning is scaring my wife to death while I drive through the usual heavy rains that fall during summer time in Brazil).

Had brand new tires on the back of my VW Touareg MkII . Reached legal limit (1.6mm) in only 3 months - 7,000 miles. Weare was even across the whole tire - such a rip off for £175 tire. Will never buy these again.
Had to change my Pirelli P Zero run-flats on my BMW X5 4.8i. I wanted to change them with another set of Pirelli P Zero run flats, but unfortunately they are not making them anymore for the BMW X5. Instead they told me that Pirelli makes the Pirelli Scorpion Verde for the SUV's now. Going through the tests I found out that the best tires for the SUV's were the Continental ContiSportContact 5 and the Goodyear Eagle F1 AsymmetricSUV. It was very difficult to find the Continental or the Goodyear run flat, in Bahrain and Saudi Arabia, but easy to find the Pirelli Scorpion Verde. I almost bought the Pirelli's but luckily I found the Goodyear in Saudi, they had only 4 tires left, and I got them cheaper that the Pirelli's. Really a big change on the car. I thought the Pirelli's P Zero's were good, but I changed my mind after I fitted the Goodyear's. More quit, more comfortable, better grip in dry and excellent in wet. The road feedback in dry is not the best, but they have a very good grip and this is what mostly matters. The road feedback in wet is excellent and the grip is like they are glued on the road. I just used them for 1,000+ miles and I can't comment on the wear. Will update after more miles done.
the Goodyear Eagle F1 came as OE on m,y Touareg. After about 12500 miles I noticed the rubber was chipping off the tire, especially the edges. The flat part of the tire didn't experience the same flaking/chipping of the tire and still has several . When shopping around for new tires several tire dealers told me that they see this regularly on the Goodyear Eagle F1. I complained to my VW dealer, who basically said it's a tire issue, and I should take it VW South Africa. VW South Africa also blamed Goodyear and said it's got nothing to do with VW. Wheel alignment was not the problem. The rear tires didn't experience the same problem. The tire is average in its class, but there is a specific chipping problem with them. I wish I could upload the photos.
Replaced a set of Kumho's (awful tire!). The Goodyear's handle the weight of the ML very well with good feedback and turn in. Very good wet and dry braking as well as cornering.
Only had for a few months and I would expect high wear, but grip is more important to me. Great tire, unfortunately expensive.
I was pushed towards vredstein by my local dealer when searching for replacements to the stock Pirelli tires my car left the factory with. Thankfully, the supplier sent the wrong size so he did a good deal on these Goodyears which have transformed the car. Not sure about wear yet but initial feedback is very positive.
