Bought this to replace hankook ventus prime that's terrible in aquaplanning. Already covered 1000km and here is the conclusion. + surprisingly comfy for sport tire + good dry grip and traction + good rolling resistance and fuel consumption (wtf?) + its 40% cheaper than ps4 and 20% less than re003 + 1 year worry free assurance + very good rim protector - soft sidewall means less feedback - noisy compared to ps4 but less than re003 - braking distance are kinda bad for sport tire Will try to update once i covered more miles

I thought I'd throw up some quick initial thoughts while Goodyear/ Beaurepaires Australia have a "4 for the price of 3 tires" promo going on the F1 Sport.

I was a bit hesitant to buy these due to the small number of reviews, but they appear to be a very good tire. The ride is comparably plush/ soft over bad surfaces- but not in an uncontrolled manner like you can get with cheap soft walled tires. The noise levels are also very low over ruts/ coarse surfaces. The steering isn't razor sharp (given the plush ride you wouldn't expect it), but load the suspension into corners and the tires grip well and the feedback is very good and confidence inspiring. I haven't pushed them to the limit, but they certainly don't fall in a heap if you start pushing them enthusiastically on corners. There's reassuring feedback and no feeling of the side walls flexing/ rolling over.

I haven't tested out the braking, so can't comment on that yet.

They have really wide rim protection strips and they will offer excellent wheel protection should a kerb be misjudged.

On the sidewall they have "Engineered by Goodyear in Europe, made by Goodyear in China". But don't let that put you off buying them. It's often surprising where even expensive high end performance tires are made.

The previous tires were 215/55R17 Yokohama E70 DB. Noisy, dangerous rubbish with poor ride/ handling and dangerous long braking (OEM fit.) It has also had 235/50R17 P Zero Asimmetrico tires- which had sharp steering and handling, but also gave a loud rough ride. The F1 Sport make it feel like a different vehicle, with a more luxurious ride combined with decent handling. I'm very impressed with them so far.

Background- I've owned lots of hot hatches and modify cars. The Kizashi is the family runabout- but I don't like compromising on tires (ie. safety) for any of my vehicles. The Kizashi has an upgraded rear sway bar fitted which vastly improves the turn in on corners. Other tires I've currently got on different vehicles: Goodyear Asymmetric 6 and 2, Dunlop Sport Maxx 050 (OEM fit) and Pirelli P Zero PZ4.

After 4 years happily using Hankook V12 evo2, i wanted something with improved grip and wet breaking. The Eagle F1 Sport is a new tire produced were I live, so i decided to try it. After 2200km, i am not disappointed with my choice, grip is very good and breaking is much better. Wear seems to be as expected and price for quality is amazing. I have really nothing to complain about it and i highly recommend it.

I am driving the Volkswagenfor the past few years and I wanted a tire with nice sidewalls, rim protective, wet braking and wet grip and also dry grip as a norm, of course we want a more silent tire but understanding all doesn't come together due to tire pattern, During the rain and wet road this is the tire I would recommend as I had the confidence to drive about nearly 170km/h cornering the highway on the wet roads. To be honest on my previously used tire that grip and confidence was not there as I would only do 105km/h but now is a totally different tire that matter. Michelin Pilot Sport 4 did give the confidence but not as nearly as the Good Year Eagle F1 Sport.

I am a tire enthusiastic person, if you are looking for a tire that matches Michelin pilot sport 5 specs than this is the tire. Advantages Sporty looks Wet grip is tremendous Dry grip is fantastic Noise level is lower compared to Michelin Primacy 4 and Kumho Ecsta PS31 which I had used More area in contact to the road(grip) Disadvantages May experience wear if driver is to harsh on the wheel Aquaplaning may occur

Underrated tire but top notch performance. Really happy after changing this tire to replace TR1..The side wall is stiffer compare to TR1 but the comfort level is very good. This tire is another level to compare my old tire. The driving experience is totally difference. The handling + comfort + steering feedback is very excellent. Bargain for money.

Switched from the stock Michilin XM2, immediately felt the difference in grip & comfort levels. Not sure if it all in my head, but stability of the car also improved since I made the switch. Would definitely recommend at this price point!
