Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 3 coming soon

[zainster]

Been running Asy2's since last July and covered around 11k miles in them and can't fault them so any tyre rated higher than these will need to be pretty impressive!  Still got plenty life in mine too.

What would you suggest for an Audi A4 Avant 1.8t Quattro?
Never going to be blasting around in it. Probably only ever get up to 100mph Max!
No tracking and won't be doing much fast B road driving.
It's my DD and the family car.

Thanks for any reason to replies.

Anyone got suggestions?

If it's just comfort you want, get some Conti PC5's

[Johnsy]

I don't like the feel and feedback from These new asym 3's when pushing on , so I'm probably gonna go back to the mpss,

So I'll have 2 GY eagle F1's asym 3 up for sale when I get round to changing them, barely got 2k mile on them

Haven't read the rest of the thread but I had Assymetric II's and thought they were absolutely awful. I've just replaced my winters with Michelin PS4's and they are fantastic so far.

ED30:
I am driving with "Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 3, 225/40R18 92Y XL FP" from the beginning of this summer 2017.
At 7500 miles, I needed to change fronts to back, since there were only 3-4mm left (new tire 7-8mm?).
Rear was ok, 5-6mm left, which is more normal for that mileage. Both sides were close to each other and otherwise equal.

I wont buy same brand again.

I drive about 125 km (77 miles) per day and road is curvy and old, so that might be the reason eating my fronts.

That's the price you pay for grip. If you want a tyre that gives 5/6000 miles try Rainsport3   A lot cheaper than Eagles.

Exactly /\.   Everything performance orientated is going to wear out faster than stuff designed for comfort and lifespan.

My PS4s have worn down just as fast, but just like oil, petrol, and brake consumptions - it's part of GTI ownership.  If it's too much, sell up and buy a 1.4 ecoboost or a Bluemotion TDI.

[AJP]

Yup, sticky rubber is gonna wear. I find as long as my alignment is right and I don't attack every corner pretending I'm in a touring car I get decent miles out of PS4. More than MPSS, possibly, but that's just a hunch so far.

It's a trade-off. Buy rock hard ditchfinders and you might get double the miles. But the idea of putting sh*t tyres on any car makes me squirm.

[Dan_FR]

Cheap sh*t tyres should be banned, they are absolutely lethal in the wet

[pudding]

Unfortunately there is a huge global market for cheap cr@p because cars are merely transport for 90% of the population.

Apologies for late reply! 

For your car, and your type of driving, I would strongly recommend the Michelin Primacy - the fantastic Primacy 3 - https://www.michelin.co.uk/tyres/michelin-primacy-3, or the latest Primacy 4 - https://www.michelin.co.uk/tyres/michelin-primacy-4 .  These are a really comfortable tyre, designed specifically for family saloon cars, are great for high mileage, and whilst being no 'sports' tyre, are very competent and stable when driven enthusiastically through the twisties if needed.

If you have a dislike of Michelin (though can never understand why those who do), a close equivalent from Continental would be their Conti Premium Contact - though it must be said that Continental tyres are always noticeably harder than their comparative Michelins, and will therefore give a harsher ride, and slightly less outright grip.  But still a competent tyre.

HTH.

Are the Goodyear Asy 3s any good? I have 2s on the front which have been good, although the wear rate is average. 
I need 2 rear tyres and was told just to get economy level ones as it’s the fronts that do all the driving?

Your best bet could be to put the 2’s on rear for now and get PS4 on front. Cheap tyres are a false economy.
