Just fitted these to my Z4 with them replacing Bridgestone run flats. The latter I reviewed on 26th Jan 2013. At last, I have the car I wanted all along. I now feel safe, confident and comfortable. Tramlining and snatch completely gone. Can't wait to really put the car through it paces. I can however already tell these tires are going to be far, far superior to the Bridgestone's. Hats off to those who took the time to review their tires and share their experiences. The information gleaned from here pointed me in the right direction.

Just had fitted today and the difference between the F1's & the Fullrun p199's that some spanner had fitted before I bought the car a couple of months ago is like night & day, the budget tires were screaming like a banshe, the whirring noise was unbearable, will report back when more miles are done but very happy initially.

Just fitted the second set of these to my Civic type R. I have to say that they are by far the best set of boots for every day driving on the Civic. They are much quieter than the Bridgestones that Honda fit as standard. They last longer than the bridgestones also. The braking and cornering is outstanding in all weather. Oustanding tire woth the money, I wont fit anthing else.

Great tires. Tried conti on last vrs and were rubbish. Took advise from this web page and glad I did. Grip in the wet is outstanding and hardy no wheel spin in when driving hard. Great buy!!

Initial post, I will post more as the tires wear. The car has been running on 205/45/17 but after reading that some mini owners have moved to 215/45/17 to allow the use of the goodyear AS2 I thought I would take the plunge. The first thing that was evident was the reduction in road noise.
My star rating is open to change as I find. I cover 750 miles a week so it wont take me long to settle on my ratings

Had first generation Asymmetric before changing to Asymmetric2. First gen was more grippy in the dry, but wear was quite high. Lasted 23,000km. Now at about 40% worn down after about 10,500km. Car has been at one time remapped to 170hp and 390Nm. Now running at 160hp and 370Nm..Very heavy right foot.

Great dry grip, not so great in the wet. Good feel, but the tire wear is unbelievable. I got 5000 miles out of them - ok, this is on a twin turbo rear drive sports car (a tuned Toyota Soarer with about 400bhp) and I tend to have a heavy right foot, but even so - 5K is pitiful.

Really impressive tires as these are non runflats on a normally shot BMW 530i Touring. I have chosen the little wider then normal 245's for better rim protection that worked fine.
Good roadholding in the dry, fine in wet conditions even under monsoon type of rain situations.
The rear tires are showing 2mm more tread wear then the front tires after 22000km.

Dec is raining season in my country. A bad track day for practice. Came using of 4 month old eagle F1 asymmetric 2 (left 90%) vs very old eagle f1 gsd3 ( left 40% ).
Being changing in and out and hope asymmetric 2 can beat the timing then gsd3 as during final race will be asymmetric 2. But sorry, the gsd3 still grid better and better timing then his new brother asymmetric2 yet left 30% after long hrs of test and practice.
The asymmetric side wall wear out more Quickly then gsd3.
Let don't compare other brand, I feel new asy3 just road noise better only and marketing strategy to make tire wear off quickly .

I have been very impressed with these tires. Extremely grippy in the dry, but also quieter and more comfortable than my previous Michelin Pilot Sport tires.
What is really impressive though is traction in the wet, better than any tire I've previously used.
