Across 122 reviews, the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric is most often praised as a confidence-inspiring ultra-high-performance summer tire with standout wet grip and strong dry cornering/braking. Many drivers report improved steering feel, stability, and a quieter/more comfortable ride versus common OEM alternatives (Pirelli/Bridgestone/Continental). The main recurring drawback is tread life variability-some owners see excellent mileage, but a sizable minority report rapid wear and higher running costs. A smaller but repeated theme is increased road noise on coarse surfaces or as the tire wears, and it is widely noted as unsuitable for snow/very cold conditions.

Had all four tires changed a year ago and picked Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetrics based on the reviews on this website. I've done 16,000 mostly motorway miles and am devastated that the front tires are now due for replacement, particularly given they cost me £225 a corner. For me, the tires score well in every area except wear and for that reason, I shall not be buying them again. My last car (Astra SRI) had Dunlop Sport SP01's did a little more town driving and lasted 36,000 on the front (although petrol not diesel).
Blew the old Bridgestone's out of the water. Comfort, Grip, steering. Transformed the car completely. Now have the asymmetric 2 on, another step forward. Decent wear too for a high end tire, two years from the rears (approx 16,000 miles) after having to put up with lots of torque

OEM on my Audi A7 - better noise level than Pirelli P Zero. Low noise on smooth tarmac. Quite a supple ride but wondered if there was a tire out there with even less road noise on rough/stone chippy surface type tarmac.
So after reading about Nokian's quiet tire reputatin I tried a set of Nokian Z G2 in the hope for an even quieter ride but these turned out to be noisier especially on smooth tarmac, which was quite surprising. Also ride was much firmer, probally due to harder sidewalls.
So changed back to F1s. Much better. They had only done 2300 miles anyway.
sold to me by kwik fit for my passatt tdi 170 cost 600 for set of 4 showing to be on the legal limit at 11k. i do little motorway driving mainly rural and a roads - suggested that the tryres could have been over inflated - it has only had one service - not likely. will not buy again.
Having opted for the 20 inch rims I noticed that after only 13000 miles the front tires were completely worn. I have replaced them with Pirelli P Zero and having done only another 2000 miles the jury is still out on these very expensive replacements. The rear tires are still probably only 25% worn which is what I would expect. Surely a set of tryes should last longer than 12k miles especially since the car is driven modestly on normal roads.
Fantastic grip in all conditions. You can push these tires round any corner and they just keep gripping. Only down side is poor ride quality, very firm and 'jiggly' on country roads (ok around town and on the motorway), but I guess this is the case with all low profile tires compared to normal tires.
The grip from these tires was as most reviewers had stated nothing short of brilliant, even in the snow lasy year.
However, they just do not suit this car at all. From new they were fine, but after about 1000 miles they started to become twitchy. As they have worn further they have become very vague and do not track well at all, following every trough in the road. This makes for a tiring drive having to constantly correct the steering. Wear is also not great, only about 2.5mm remaining after just 12,000 miles.
I had high hopes for these tires but regrettably would not buy them again for this car.
Great tire, long wear - superb grip in the dry and the wet, better on the road than a track day but all the same good enough for me. Better than the P Zero's the car came with as an OEM fitment. And cheaper, not by much but two tanks of fuel!
Fitted 245/35/18s to the rear of my beloved S2000.
Love these tires, acres of grip in thr dry and in the wet. I only whished they lasted a bit longer. That said I dont hang around when driving. Definately would recomend and definately would buy again.
My car is not really designed for comfort being a two seater roadster, so I am unable to comment.
