Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 2 265/40 R18 101 Y XL, FP

My version of the S Class is very hard on tyres. Three previous premium makes have only lasted 9000 miles of mostly motorway driving. These look like they will reach double that. A better tyre in every way. Read more Collapse

Another set of Goodyear tyres and another decision to buy Eagle F1. Almost from the beginning I bought Eagle F1 tyres only from this series, but before I had cars with 140-220 HP. This time I originally wanted to buy another brand of tyre because of the 420bhp under the bonnet, but after reviewing the car's performance and other people's opinions, I decided on the Eagle F1. I am convinced that this time it was the right choice as well. These tyres are simply a revelation. First and foremost, my priority is safety in the broad sense of the word when driving fast, i.e. "sticking" the tyre to the asphalt, both when braking and starting. But here many tyres are similar, and the Eagle F1 shows its "claws" only when entering fast corners, especially in the wet, by not even the slightest slip. To paraphrase a saying - straight roads are for fast cars, curvy roads are for Goodyear tyres. The grip is simply excellent. I would also recommend the tyre for normal day-to-day driving, it does a great job of absorbing the bumps that abound in Poland and the protective rim allows you to park safely right up to the kerb.

Tyres fitted to a BMW 530 d 193 km, 235/45/17 front and 255/40/17 rear. Drivers who read these reviews are mostly looking to save money by wondering if it's worth buying premium tyres or a mid-range with similar performance. Well, it is worth buying these tyres.... but.... BUT due to rapid wear I do not recommend them for people who want to show a friend nice tyres, because after two seasons of about 40 thousand wear is significant. Generally speaking, the tyres hold well in corners. Braking in the dry I don't rate because even the budget class has decent performance. In the wet the tyres are excellent. Despite the wide width, float is felt to some extent for sure, but I don't know of any scale in which to describe it. Riding with children; safety is a priority for me and a few hundred more for a set is no expense at all in case of emergencies, emergency braking etc, because that's how you have to look at it for such extreme situations which happen relatively rarely, but still.... they do happen and then what? those few metres of shorter braking distance make a colossal difference AMEN Read more Collapse

These tyres work extremely well on the Fiat Bravo II. As for the noise of these tyres, they are very quiet, practically inaudible regardless of the driving speed, it feels like the car is gliding a few cm above the ground and not rolling on the asphalt. Grip under braking and in corners, with normal and slightly dynamic driving, is excellent. Rolling resistance is low, the car moves easily on even a slight incline. These tyres do not generate higher fuel consumption, on the road with the weakest engine went down to 5L/100 km. They pick up bumps nicely and let you feel what is happening between the tyre and the tarmac. When driving in heavy rain, they shed water very well, which is audible (water hitting the wheel arches). These may not be cheap tyres, but it makes sense to invest in them if you expect a high level of driving comfort and driving confidence. Read more Collapse

Due to the rather low profile I wanted to buy a reinforced model, I was advised against this by the seller due to the fact that I was buying a model with a higher load index. I don't know what it would be like with reinforced tyres but the fact is that within three months of last season 2 front tyres were damaged. One time a pothole, the other a deeper one - in both cases the same thing - a bump (damaged sidewall) on the tyre, which means the tyre was trashed. In both cases the impact was not strong enough to damage the aluminium rim. In 3 months 2 x 450 PLN went down the drain. + replacement costs. The tyres had no more than a few thousand km. Before that I put on winter tyres and it was quiet until spring. Now I need to buy something more solid for the front. Read more Collapse
