EAGLE F1 (ASYMMETRIC)

<p>I have been using these tyres for years on my cars, and now have had them on my latest A4 avant s-line quattro. They actually reach excellence in my opinion, and although a PS4S is probably better on a sports car application and in the dry grip (GY is better in the wet), there are no better all-rounders than these tyres. So quiet and comfy still after 24k miles, and they have a minimum of 3.5mm +. They also provide good rim protection and they do look nice too. If you grab these on their sales, they are an utter bargain, and you will not be disappointed. I prefer the slightly higher pressures (38R, 42F) and they have worn evenly. 4WD cars with summer tyres need these things.Mid next year the tyres will be 3 years old and ready to replace all 4 again, and these are on the books, probably from Camskill.</p>

Had the previous F1’s they were great. These new ones are terrible. Bad traction from the start that just got worse. Less than 12mths old and they need replacing. A great tyre has been destroyed in my opinion. Shame

Having replaced the Pilot Sport 3s on my Passat as they had zero feel, realized the car itself has zero feel, the F1s atleast have a bit more than the Pilot Sport 3. Grip has always been very good, and for a solid car with a 3.2 donk over the front wheels, and AWD, she handled well, surprising a few passengers over the last 2 years.
However, a solo and spirited drive home over 160kms appears to have been too much for them, causing blisters on the outside of the tyres and now effectively lacking in grip too, meaning I need two new front tires.
I won't be replacing them like for like, I do have occassional fleets of car throwery around corners, and Februarys excitement was a prolonged effort admittedly, but I do expect tyres to last longer than 20000kms, especially when 85% is the slow city dribble.
Otherwise a good tyre.

Very good summer tyres for Bergen, Norway, where it rains A LOT. These tyres grip very well if outside temperature is above 10 degrees celsius. Below that temperature, driver can not rely on them.
For my little 1200kg car, 245/45R18 are a bit oversized, and tyre rubs when crossing bumps at normal to high speed, and even at very low speeds when car is loaded with 4 persons inside.
Rim and tyre are 25kg heavy, but still having insane grip in corners. Grip when breaking is also insane.
I would buy them again, but 235/40 variant, newer generation.

Had Pirelli's from new. Wore quickly and were sloppy in handling. Goodyears are much better. I feel more in control and know what the cars doing. Also quieter on rough roads can't fault them just need to test as weather gets colder.
