Brought these in France 2020 after reading all the tests on them.
Imported the car to New Zealand with them on.
They were amazing tire fantastic in the dry and the wet. Perfect balance and the ability to really push them to their limits. But when they got about 50% wear they would struggle with standing water which is fair enough all tires behave like this.
They are also a very noisy tire on course chip NZ road's.
Then the car developed a pull to the Left at low speeds.
It also developed a wobble a low speeds.
Pulled the Front LH side of to inspect and to my amazement the tire casing had changed shape on the inside.
I had a set of Winter's so I fitted the complete set.
After inspection of all of the Goodyear Asymptotic 5's with about 25k wear 3 had done the same fault.
Total casing shape change and structural failure.
Also interesting that its failed in the same part of the tire on all 3!!
I've never hit a pot hole with these tires.
I would not recommend these tires. Will be buying Continentals or Michelin in the summer.
