New tires:Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 2
After 30,000 km I need to let go of Falken 452, The inner wall of both rear tires showed some swelling, and can be dangerous in high speed.
I did some research to pick the next tire that included Pirelli P zero, Michelin PSS, Toyo T1 Sport, Bridgestone S001 and finally Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 2 which all are ultra high performance summer tires. I came across with a review from Tire review UK in which Goodyear stays on top on most reviews, so I decide to put this Goodyear Asym 2 on using 235-35/19 and 265-30/19 setup. The ride was much smoother and quiter than Falken ,but I never try on hard brake or wet traction yet. Anyone who use this Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 2 please share your experience here

I have them.
Travelled 17,000 km on them. Can't say a bad thing about them. Probably get another 13,000 out of the rears, and 20+ out of the fronts. I will buy them again.

I looked at them and their reviews, then ordered the Michelin Pilot Super Sport (just yesterday). I guess I am influenced by all of the bad tires Goodyear has produced in years past, and I have never had an issue with Michelin. Just replacing some Pirelli P-Zeros that gave me 18,000 Kms of great traction (I was hoping for a bit more out of them, but I am somewhat aggressive) Anything is better than the 12,000 Kms I got out of the Bridgstone Potenza RFT OEMs!

Goodyear name may be has some bad influence. I also worried. But the 25% cheaper than the equally performance P zero made me make the decision
So far after 1000 km and max 180 km/h I am still very happy.

This is an interesting test:
http://www.caranddriver.com/comparis...omparison-test I know you already bought them, and I'm glad you enjoy them! Just posting this for other members to reference if they ever try to look for advice on tires.

I have them on the X3, and in a 45 profile they are bearable, but in a 30 profile they bite the big one.
