New tires:Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 2 - New 2009 2010 BMW Z4

Z4@Phuket · 07-31-2012, 02:49 AM

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.

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.

No. RFT and I don't see eye to eye.
I have them on the X3, and in a 45 profile they are bearable, but in a 30 profile they bite the big one.
