Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 3 coming soon

[PhilNUK]

Had the F1 ays 3's fitted to my Ed30 for just over a week now and can't fault them, especially in the wet! Been plenty of rain this week and my commute takes me on motorways and country lanes and they haven't concerned me once!

I was toying with the idea of trying the new GY asym3, but reading that ........i think I'll give it a miss.

Iv done around 10k miles on my current MPSS including 1 trackday and the fronts are about done, with close to 4mm on the rears .

Should I just replace them like for like or is there an alternative to try @Teutonic_Tamer ?

If you are 100% happy with the Mich Pilot SuperSports - why change to an unknown?

IMVHO, if you have done around 10k miles on a set of ultra high performance tyres, which also includes a trackday - I would personally be happy with that tyre life.  I certainly would NOT recommend you use the Pilot Sport 3 - as they are a considerable step backwards from your current SuperSports, and are actually worse than the older Pilot Sport PS2.  I can't comment on the new PS4, as I have yet to try them (though hopefully, by next weekend, I will be putting a pair of them through their paces on my GIT).  I can still strongly recommend the PS2 - as they are still a superb tyre (and are still being manufactured).

As for other brands to avoid, I would very strongly state the avoidance of any Pirelli, Yokohama, Marshall, Barum, Autogrip, Nankang, Trayall.

Just replaced a set of Michelin pilot sport 2 after 18,000miles from the wife's Leon. Still had 3mm on them but had started cracking heavily. Chosen the Goodyear asy 3's, as it was available at time, didn't fancy putting some of the lesser brands as you note above.

Very happy with the MPSS, I was just looking at other brands and Wondering what if.......

Iv also been pondering over ,Michelin pilot sport cup 2, Toyo R888 & R888R ,mayve a little extreme for a daily driver. I need an extra set of rim really

I picked up some ad08r for 90 each. They do have their faults but at that price I cannot complain.

New? Where from ? And size ?

Tyreleader had them for about a ton but they were 88y rated

[rich83]

A mate. 225 40 18. 88 rating but they are stiffer than a normal 92 anyway

I was miss sold 88 last year, realised too late having put nearly 5k miles on them:-(, anyway they've Been alright but I'm gonna Gonna make sure there at least 92 this time. 92 being the minimum for my Leon
The 235/40/18 (£118)are cheaper than the 225/40/18 (£150) on tyre leader at the moment 

But I did see those ado8's for under a ton on tyre leader aswell

What Iv just noticed is the MPSS from tyre leader has its manufacturer date on of 2013! But no date on camskill.

Are 3yr old tyres ok ?

[rich83]

You have to be carful with tyre leader selling old stock

They dont do 92 in 2254018 ad08r

I think they indicate when the tyres are older (have seen older stock on their site at a reduced price, but with year of manufacture clearly mentioned.)

I've had 3 tyre orders off them and all had a dot code only a few months old.
