Goodyear Eagle F1 GSD3 Owner Reviews

Review this tire

What owners say summarised from 143 reviews

The Goodyear Eagle F1 GSD3 is most consistently praised for dry and wet grip, with steering feedback and resistance to aquaplaning also attracting more praise than criticism. Noise is a recurring drawback, criticised in around one in five reviews. Short tread life is raised in more than a quarter, although plenty of owners report good mileage. The few mid-life and end-of-life accounts are divided on wear, so they do not establish a consistent service-life pattern. Most reviews do not identify a stage of use, and the single returning owner is insufficient to establish how grip or noise changes with age.

Put these on all four wheels of Lexus GS450h. The grip is brilliant wet or dry. They inspire confidence.

Now for the down sides. The fronts have lasted 14k miles though I suspect I may have got another couple out of them but I got a cut in the side wall so had to change them. Also, the steering seems prone to "tramlining". Not sure if it's the tires but almost sure it wasn't as bad on the previous tires.

I've replaced them with Goodyear F1 Asymmetrics - they get better reviews all round so we'll see how they go.

Changed all 4 tires to Eagle F1 approximately 10 months ago, the rear tires are now down the wear limit markers after approximately 15000 miles of mostly motorway commuting. Excellent grip in both wet and dry but wear rate feels very poor to me compared to the previous set of Avons which gave me about 30000 miles. Going to be fair and say that the harsh winter perhaps took its toll on the tires - the joys of rear wheel drive...

i had these on a slightly wide rim (7.5j). Dry grip was good, but they screamed quite easily, the wet grip was not bad either. i can't say much about these tires, only, they wear fast, but are DEFINATELY better than the predecessors (gs-d2) wich were rubbish!

Had 2 setts of these on stagered alloys (common with mercedes) they are a great tire and both performance and grip in wet & dry was excellent. Only let down was miles.... max 6,000 and I don't drive that bad - well you don't buy a V8 engined Mercedes to poodle about. Country roads mainly.... Sold V8 and moved into Orpington now so purchased a CLK 270 CDi. Can't get the performance, always in traffic so V8 was pointless. Current Merc got P7's back and Conti's SP2 on front but I'm now on the market for probably Falkens fitted to new Stagered 18's being fitted. 225/40/18 FRONTS AND 255/35/18 REAR.....

Fitted to 18inch RS4 shoes on a V6 4motion. Dry grip is excellent. Wet grip is pretty good, no hint of aquaplaning even on newly built dual carriageway with very poor drainage! Feedback and progressiveness is very good. Wera is brilliant, 2 years and 30,000 miles later and they are just coming up to the wear indicators. Have driven a variety of styles since I have had them and they have responded a lot better than the Toyo Proxes which came with the alloys. Only down side is seem to have a lot of road noise but this could be down to the stupidly large wheels (Note for Mk4 golf drivers; don't put 18" wheels on unless you plan to completely change the suspension as they dont offer enough cushioning resulting in lots of cabin rattles!!!!).
Would definitely recommend and buy again, just trying to figure out if I can find anything better for a similar amount of money or get anything the same for less money!!!

Having always been a fan of Goodyear tires I decided to fit these to the front to replace the original Michelin Premacy pilots. While the Michelins had extremely good wear lasting 30,000 on the front I found that when the roads were damp they felt unsure and lacking in grip although on dry road surfaces and in standing water the tires gripped well. After swopping to the F1's I found that wet, dry and damp grip as well as steering feedback to be superior the only downsides being that I am only getting 18,000 miles from a set of tires and I have also found the F1's slightly more prone to tram lining compared to the Michelins.

I moved from the original michelin pilot sport tires to these Eagle F1s. I have done only about 5000 miles and Im having to replace the lot as they have flatspotted. The tires have not been driven hard and are hardly worn but have become deformed. Audi belive that the recent cold snap and heavy snow may have been responsible as the car sits on a drive way 6 days a week and is only used occasionally. My advice would be not to buy these tryes unless you drive your car frequently.
