Goodyear  Eagle F1 Asymmetric All-Season

As many know the 2011 Subaru Outback Limited comes with crappy Continental tires that get flat spots if it sits to long has a really bad floaty feel and not sure footed. Plus 60 series sidewalls are limited on options of tires. so went down to 55 series and up to a 235 width, car handles so much better, more predicable, and quieter. Can't wait to try it out in the rain and snow. I still have problems with the known Subaru vibration issue (suspension / drive-train issue) but on the side roads with hard corners, outback hands even more like a car now then an crossover. Now if only the known subaru vibration issue could be figured out!

more updates to follow once i get more miles on the tire, since a lot people say these tires need a few hundred miles (about 500) before they really show what they can do. So far VERY happy!

UPDATE driving in the rain!

Tires are awesome in the rain, handles as if its dry out, took exit ramps at speed, standing water in tire ruts on highway at 65 no issues at all. Oh even with leaves on the road didnt notice them either.

Snow update to follow once we get some!

I have only had these tires for about a week. So this review is really just an initial opinion, and a quick comparison to my OEM tires.

My OEM Dunlop RFT tires were pretty worn. They had 45k miles. Since buying the Mini Cooper S brand new in '09, I had not liked the tires. Rough ride. Noisy. Unforgiving and fairly slick in wet or snowy conditions. I knew within 5 miles that switching to this non-RFT Goodyear F1 was a smart move. The ride is far smoother and quieter. The traction has been excellent in both rain and a bit of snow/slush. I really can't say enough about the change in ride comfort. I used to feel every crack in the road like it was a crater. The RFTs were so stiff. The F1s just glide over the road imperfections by comparison. I will gladly rely on Fix-a-Flat and my Roadside Assistance for for the great improvement in comfort and handling.

These tires are on a 2003 2dr Blazer converted to AWD as a staggered set (245/45-18 front, 275/40-18 rear on ADR Battle 18x8.5,18x9.5). This truck is set up with custom suspension- lowered, high rate torsion bars, Bilstein shocks, custom bushings,high rate quick ratio steering box,braided stainless brake lines, etc..... This was set up to be a daily driver @90+ miles per day on curvy country roads leading into "the city", with the ability to load up the family for a six hour drive to the beach. These tires are the best all around tires I have used. This is the first set of tires that I have ever owned that do not require a driving style change because of some rain. They respond precisely to any input in any direction. The rates of speed that can be obtain on entry ramps are awesome. Working night shift and driving country roads is comparable to a game of "frogger" when the wildlife is out. I fall in love with these tires all over again every time I have to do an aggressive maneuver to avoid animals/ other drivers.
These tires will quickly let you know of any weaknesses in your vehicle.... My ABS system virtually never engages unless there is water or debris on the road, even when trying to engage them. My stock size disc brakes don't test these tires at all. New 14"/13" brake swap is next on the list.

This is simply a dream tire for all around performance. I absolutely love this tire! Will absolutely buy again. The only thing I could hope for would be for a wider setup(255/285-18 or 265/295-18 staggered)........

I would also like to thank Tirerack for handling an odd balance issue no questions asked. They just handled the situation quickly and professionally. BRAVO!

These are a great set of all season tires. I've only put about 1500 miles on them so far so I can't rate the treadwear yet but I've had the opportunity to get a feel for them in a wide variety of driving conditions. They exceeded my expectations in all conditions, particularly in the rain and light snow. Just as it warmed up enough that I felt that I should swap my winter tires out for these we were hit with a significant amount of snow. Fortunately these tires performed nearly as well as my winter set and kept me cruising confidently down the road. I'd recommend these to anyone interested in a quality set of all season tires.

Grip. Although I have only put 5000 miles on these, I have driven thru heavy rains and a snowy icy rain storm that closed several roads on Christmas eve. I am so impressed with the grip and control these gave me. Best I've ever had on any car, any tire. Really surefooted. Much better than the Bridgestones they replaced or the Michelyn OEMs. The Bridgestone Turanza Serenity tire was probably a bit quieter at highway speed when new, but not after 45000 miles. The Goodyears are very quiet and have excellent dry response too, but what really stands out is their wet and ice and light snow performance. Well done Goodyear! I am so glad to see a next generation all season performance tire from Goodyear. Hope we can say goodby to some of the legacy Goodyear dogs. I would buy these Eagle F1 Asymmetrics again in a heartbeat.

This is by far the best tire I have ever had on a car. I had Firestone before this and when I traded my 2005 Passat in on a 2013 Passat, which came with Hand----s, I only made it about 5,500 miles on them before I ordered another set of these. If you own a Passat GET THESE TIRES! Amazing on I80, and going 160mph on a back country road, also great in the wet and snow. its not even bad on the dirt roads of Nebraska! If you own a 2013 Passat TDI you can buy these in the 235/50-17 and they will work perfect.. I will give another review of my new Passat after I get more miles on them to be sure the tire noise is gone from the Hand----s.

The Eagle F1 Asymmetric AS has surprised me tremendously after 2500 miles. I had been considering comparable tires from Bridgestone and Continental, but selecting a replacement Goodyear for the first time in 30 years of driving has left me with no regrets.

With sharp response and high cornering grip, it proves a 50-series sidewall is low-profile enough for the demands of a front-drive platform in sprited street and freeway driving. The tire could be more communicative, but in dry and wet, all expectations have been surpassed for responsiveness, grip, and smoothness from an all-season tire. No snow has hit the DFW metroplex yet, but I'm not concerned.

This tire is a nice match for the 1st-gen Mazda 3s GT with the larger 17x6.5 wheels. It's even better with the lighter aftermarket wheels I bought shortly after (after discovering bent inner rims) in 17x7 with slightly less positive offset (meaning they come closer to the fender lip). Gaining a slighly wider track transformed the car's handling even more. The rim protector appears strange on this tire, but it may be less noticeable with a different wheel design.

The Eagle F1 Asymmetric AS is an excellent tire at a competitive price.

These tires were a much needed improvement over the OE Pirelli P6 All Season tires on my Saab. They are much quieter, ride better, and grip far better. In the dry they are excellent, in the wet they are excellent, but in the snow they are just so-so.

I have taken corners very, very hard going much faster that I should have been in SOAKING wet conditions and these tires have handled it exceptionally well. They grip much harder than you'd expect in the pouring rain.

Just got these. Grippy and so very plush vs the hard, feel every bump one road, Oem run flat Michelin tires. Really a different car. Still as responsive but they just run straight and true. The run flats were skittish and all over the road. Will absolutely purchase again

I don't have much experience with tires, but I'm really happy with these. They are clearly the best of the 3 sets I've had on my 325i, which included the stock Continental ContiTouringContact (junk) and the previous-generation Michelin Pilot Exalto A/S (excellent). Some impressions:

RIDE QUALITY: I was expecting a harsher ride, but these are the most comfortable tires I've had so far. They're firm yet supple, deal with harsh impacts (e.g. horrible NYC-area roads) exceptionally well, and are smooth on all sorts of highway surfaces. A perfect match to my car's suspension.

NOISE: Another surprise - these tires are extremely quiet, especially after break-in. In absolute loudness they probably aren't the quietest tires around, but the noise signature is pleasant and non-intrusive across all surfaces, with no droning or roar. The stock touring Continentals may have been tad quieter at their prime, but that lasted all of a couple thousand miles.

GAS MILEAGE: I noticed a couple MPG drop on the highway when going from the Continentals to Michelins, so I was expecting a further drop when moving to a higher-perforance tire. But so far, the mileage has been as good as, maybe even a little better than the Michelins - still getting around 29 MPG highway. Stop-and-go mileage is not so hot, but that has never been great on my car anyway.

WET/SNOW GRIP: In the rain, these tires are unflappable and confidence-inspiring - the grip is really impressive. In light snow, no A/S tire is going to be particularly good, but these did ok and were perfectly driveable. Just don't expect to be able to get out of even modest snow drifts.

All-in-all, a terrific tire. Don't be fooled by the "ultra high performance" rating - on the right car these are very comfortable, livable tires that also happen to perform exceptionally well. My mother-in-law needs new tires for her Audi A3 TDI, and these are the no-brainer choice. Love 'em.

Took a chance with these tires for my Porsche 993. Wanted a tire that will allow me to drive when it's cold and perhaps a little snow on the ground, especially when the temperatures drop to a point that summer high performance tires are a bad choice. Also wanted to add a little ride comfort. These are a great choice so far. Comfortable, very little trade off in handling over a high performance summer tire, and the price was right. Plus I'll use the Porsche this winter rather than being put away until spring. In fact, unless you're tearing up local roads or running at the track, theses are perfect for typical suburban driving. Time will tell if they hold up, but for now I'm happy with the choice. As a sidenote, the Porsche shop that serviced my car scoffed at A/S tires when I went in. But after he drove the car, his reaction changed. Said he had a hard time breaking free even during hard driving, and that handling was almost as good as the high $ tires.

These are the best tires I've had as far as tread wear and performance on any Mercedes that I have owned for the last 20 years. I would definitely buy them again.

When I purchased my Mustang, I was concerned about the wear of a "high performance summer" tire. I ordered the optional 20 inch wheels with the 265/35-20 Eagle F1 Asymmetric tire thinking that the wide tire will work better in handling, and tire will last longer. I also add PSI to my tires (to accommodate for weight distribution.. 53/47) and use 40 in front, 37 in the rear and rotate every 10K-15K. The increased pressure makes makes this a tire that responds very quickly...and I say that coming out of a 2019 WRX...it's almost that quick. The 22 GT standard suspension is a nice combination of ride and handling....

The tires do not hydroplane at all, and I have to intentionally add gas to lose traction in the wet. I've scared myself on dry mountain roads and tight turns by exceeding the speed limit by 20 mph or more...sometimes unintentionally...Not even a noise objection from the tires...they just want to grip...

I have 33,333 miles on the tires and should easily get another 20.... 9/32" new, have 6+/32" now.... AND they drive flat and all are wearing at the same rate....

Very pleased and surprised with this tire...and will definitely buy the same when these are ready to go....

Not a big fan of Goodyear tires. They just don't work for me. All ready had a flat at 1060 miles, maybe not the tires fault but everytime I have had Goodyears I get a lot of flats.
