Questions and Answers for the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 5

2019-03-16 - How is sidewall stiffness, steering response and precision characteristics of this comparing to Falken Azenis FK510, Michelin Pilot Sport 4 (not S), Conti PremiumContact 6 ? Thank you.

I am testing the Asymmetric 5 against the PC6 (and Asym 3) next week, keep an eye on youtube for the video :)

2019-04-05 - Merc E350 amg coupe 2015. The front and rear have different size tyres. The asymmetric 5 make a size to fit the rear, but not the front. Any problems with asymmetric 5 on the rear and asymmetric 3 on the front?

While it's not ideal, there's no problem to run that combination of Asym 3 and Asym 5.

2019-04-20 - do you think the correct tire pressure for 225/45 r17 91Y PS? (vehicle: dsg golf 1.2 2015 110hp)

The tyre pressure for the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 5 is vehicle and load specific. The correct tyre pressure for your vehicle can usually be found on a sticker in the door shut of the driver's door, or in the manufacturer's handbook.

2019-05-29 - Does anyone know if / when Goodyear will release a 205/40r17 in the Asymmetric 5. Currently using the Asymmetric 3 but this tyre size has now been discontinued. Also looking for it in a 225/45r19 again just recently discontinued in the Asymmetric 3 range.

Both 205/40 17 and 225/45 19 are now available in Asymmetric 5, so you should be able to find them in the marketplace :)

2019-06-21 - When will 255/30/19 and 265/30/19 sizes be released within the UK please?

The Eagle Asymmetric 5 in size 255/30R19 is now on sale it was released earlier this month. It looks like Goodyear won’t be producing the tyre in size 265/30R19 as they haven’t produced an Eagle Asymmetric tyre in that size since the Goodyear Eagle Asymmetric 2.

2019-09-10 - Can't decide between these ASM5 and Michelin PS4. My my top requirements is Comfort, Wet and Dry Stopping performance, Aquaplaning and Wear rate. the PS4 is now quite a bit more expensive, so that is also a factor. To be fitted to an Audi A6 Avant 255/35/19

There there is a big difference in price, I would go for the Goodyear as the two tyres are very close in all other aspects.

2019-11-10 - Deciding between the standard ASM5 or the ASM5 XL 225/45R17. prices are the same but the XL boasts better fuel economy according to the labelling, however will the ride quality suffer due to the reinforced tyre? are there any reasons not to go with the XL variant? or are the differences relatively unnoticeable?

The differences between the non-XL and XL versions of tyres are usually very small, and in some cases, they're actually the same tyre. As these have different label scores, there are differences in the tyre for the Asymmetric 5, but I wouldn't let that put you off the XL version as they're likely to be small.

2019-11-29 - Will these be ok on an Audi A5 quattro or is it best to stick to RO tyres? If RO is best what would you recommend?

I'd have no problems putting an aftermarket version of the Asymmetric 5 on an Audi.

2020-03-05 - I have a VW caddy maxi with 19inch wheels with Goodyear Eagle 1 asymmetric 5 (225 /35 ) what should the tyre pressure be ??

2020-03-26 - Does anyone know if the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 5 also in runflat (ROF) version available is? Size 225/55 R17.

I believe as of writing (April 2020) only the Asymmetric 3 is available in runflat in 225/55 R17.

2020-04-02 - I am looking for the GY F1 Asym5 for my 2008 Lexus gs450h. Lexus recommends 245 40 r18 93 y. But is it better to go with the 97 xl as the car has 345 horsepower? Or is the difference too small?

Fitting the higher load rated Goodyear Eagle Asymmetric 5 is perfectly legal, and while the differences might be small between the 93 and 97 load rating tyres, there's no disadvantages if you're looking for improved handling.

2020-06-13 - what sort of tyre would your recommend for a vw sharan with 184 bhp front wheel drive. Would you recommend strictly touring tyre or uhp if you like some spirited driving? I have p7 at the moment. So far having read reviews on p7, ps4, pc6, gy ef1 a5 am leaning towards goodyears. Or shall I wait for new p7 c2 as there are no reviews on them? Comfort, fuel efficiency and good wet dry handling is the priority... hope you can help!!

A tyre like the Asymmetric 5 would be an excellent blend of comfort and sporty driving for your VW.

2020-08-10 - If price were not a factor which would you recommend for a combination of comfort on road trips and spirited driving on windy roads: Michelin pilot sport 4 or Goodyear eagle fi asymmetric 5? Seat Leon fr 225/40 R18

My choice would be the Asymmetric 5 as I prefer the handling over the PS4.

2020-09-22 - Do they make 275/35/19 asymmetric 5 for rear of BMW 5-Series.

They sure do, they can be found here.

2021-03-20 - I have a TVR T350, its a very light sports car but because if the front tyre size being 225-35-18 the 35profile tyre range is limited. After a lot of search I am torn between the Asymetric 5 or running a Michelin Super Sport on the front and a PS4S on the rear. Michelins are my preferred however because of the size I would need to mix in this way. Is this a good idea or would the Asymetric 5 although a range below the Michelin be a better bet?

Good question. Usually I'd prefer to match tyres, but as the 350 is so light and the PSS / PS4S not the worse combination of tyres, I might be tempted to try that. Whatever you decide, be sure to let me know how you find them!

2021-07-01 - The "Fuel" results of Asymmetric 5 Label Scores have all kinds of result from A to E. Why the testing results are so inconsistent for different sizes of the same model? I am going to buy "25/40 R18 92Y XL" which has "E", is it going to be very bad for fuel consumption?

Generally bigger / wider tyres have a higher rolling resistance, which is why you often see different label scores when looking at a tyre range with lots of sizes. The real world differences between a C and E aren't that huge and I personally wouldn't let it influence my purchase decision too much.

2021-07-06 - The price difference for both the PS4 and the GYA5 is £20 for two tyres. Which should I go for? And would you recommend the XL version or the standard? These are for the front 2 tyres on a BMW F30. Thanks!

From all my testing I prefer the front axle feel of the Asymmetric 5, but both tyres are excellent products!

2021-10-29 - Many Jaguar XF owners have slated the AS5 and favoring its predecessor, the AS3. Does anyone know why?

I've not heard of this, sorry. Jag owners are also the only people in the world to like the P6000 so it might be the OE Asym 3 is more suited than an aftermarket Asym 5.

2022-02-20 - Hello! Can you help me please - choosing for BMW 525d Xdrive from GYA5 (or GYA6) and Michelin PS4. What on your opinion will be good for my car in 245/45/18? Looking for a kind of balance between sporty and a kind of comfort. Thanks a lot!

This 18" tyre test will show you everything you need to know about the PS4 vs Asym 5.

2022-08-23 - In the size that fits my car (MAZDA6 WAGON MY2017 ) 225/45R19 there are two different references of the Asym5 with two different scores Fuel/Wet B/C and A/B. I found a website that states that this diference is beause there is a Tube and a TL version. In your opinion what would be the best option ?? Thanks in advance.

I'm not sure one is a tube version, that would be very odd with todays technology. It's more likely one was an updated tyre for a better label result or one is an OE fitment which has a different blend of performances. I'd double check one isn't OE fitment and if not get the better label score.

2024-03-24 - Hi, I’ve got a merc e400d 4matic 2019, the back tyres are 275/30/20. It is a heavy car, would these tyres be ideal for the back or continental sport contact 7? I’m after comfort and longevity more than anything. My front 2 are Michelin pilot supersport as they were near the top of list on this website for 245/35/20’s.

These will be more comfortable than the Continentals.

2024-10-13 - Whats the tyre depth of brand new one ? is it 8mm or 6,8 mm ?

Starting tread depth varies based on tyre size.

When I fitted them for the first time, on one of my cars it felt like it's reborn. Amazing handling, grip and feedback. I was astonished. The only bad thing is that only after a year and a half and about 20k kms, I have torn the internal structure and they have become impossible to balance, started to give vibrations at random speeds and had to replace them. Surprise surprise. I have replaced them with exactly the same ones. It's only because I admit that my driving didn't help. I always attack the corners with the maximum possible speed. And don't have much regard for speedbumps. I could see that only the edges of the tires was looking worn and the rest looked still great. They looked like they were driven hard on a racetrack. So I'm sure it's my fault that they have disintegrated inside so quickly. Probably the hot weather here (Dubai) didn't help much too. I am not sure how they handle in the wet, but I don't really care, haha.
Overall astonishing tyre. Will recommend 10/10.

Straight away felt the difference after having them installed. As someone who has had multiple track cars and still ride 1000cc track bikes I think I'm in a good position to say that these tyres have a very good dry grip. Very confidence inspiring and had 100% trust in the tyres when pushing on. Wet grip is very good also, never once felt like I couldn't press on in the wet. Surprisingly they also perform pretty well in the snow! An all round great tyre and very well priced!

Given 94% while driving a Toyota Corolla (225/45 R17) on mostly motorways for 40,700 average miles

Excellent tyres. Front ones have just been replaced after 65500km! The rear ones still have 6mm of tread left and were placed on the front with 2 new Asymmetric 6 on the rear.
Grip is great, either in dry or wet. Dry handling is superb. Feels always safe and handles well the high torque at zero speed characteristic of hybrid cars like mine even on wet roads. I liked them a lot and that's why I have changed to the newer 6.
They keep most of their characteristics through all their life span, although better in dry than wet (fronts were starting to spin and activate the traction control on more harsh acceleration more often).
Only negative point is that they are noisy on rougher roads.

Given 83% while driving a BMW 325i M Sport (255/35 R19) on a combination of roads for 18,000 average miles

I loved these tyres as soon as they went on the car, night and day difference from the OEM Bridgestone RFs that are meant for my E92 325i (those were awful tyres). I'm so glad I went with the F1 A5's as it's been a really pleasurable and safe ~3 years. I've done a mixture of driving, but at it's my daily it will most often be town/motorway. However I do enjoy driving down a country lane every few weeks (no track). The dry grip has been incredible and the feedback through the wheel is sharp, even more impressive in my opinion was the wet grip which really inspired confidence even around corners. Aquaplaning was sensational; on many occasions I had done long road trips around the UK in torrential rain, often from London to Dartmoor, Devon. On one occasion I was doing a healthy speed on the motorway with an M135i driving alongside me in seriously torrential rain till the point where they aquaplaned into the hard shoulder and my car continued thanks to the A5's. On top of that I did several spirited drives from London to Devon in the peak of winter in a RWD BMW on icy conditions that went as smooth as anything.

I really can't fault these tyres as they were so affordable and impressive. The only downsides for me were that they aren't particularly good looking tyres and they go quite "dry" in appearance fairly quickly so frequent tyre shine is needed. In terms of wear I guess around 18k miles is decent as the rears are only now getting to the limit and I guess I tend to power off the line more frequently than others, I've also done a couple of donuts over the years but only a handful of times.

I'm now considering going for Continental SportContact 7 in 255/30/19 (stock) or 265/30/19 for the rear replacement but I worry the wet grip will be lost.

Given 65% while driving a BMW 650ci (245/40 R19) on mostly motorways for 1,000 spirited miles

Such a roller-coaster of a journey with Assy5. I had them fitted in different times on all my three cars. One of them twice... They were all different sizes - 17", 18" and 19"
First on the 18" BMW - changed the car completely. Suddenly I fell in love with it again. Such a grip, feedback and handling - amazing. Unfortunately an year after, I started feeling the car shaking. Checked the brakes ofc, but turns out the tyres became egg-shaped. I said to myself "OK, I didn't drive the car for a while, so that's why". Put a new set same tyres. Then on the one with the 19". Guess what happened? Same first feeling of how amazing the tyres are. And year later - egg shaped. Both. Meanwhile I got a third car with 17" wheels to which I immediately put the Assy5 tyres and the car spent the next 7 months in the garage, being restored to perfection. How surprised I was when I took it from there and when I approached 100km/h the car started shaking like there's no tomorrow. Guess what - egg-shaped tyres again.
All in all the tyre is amazing, but it doesn't last and not because of wear. Maybe it's the weather, as where I live is very hot all the time, but as much as I love the tyres, I'm not getting any more of them.

Given 74% while driving a Mercedes Benz C300 (225/45 R18) on a combination of roads for 16,000 average miles

Before commenting on these F1 A5, I must say I came from long history of Michelin tyres in my previous cars along the years, from Pilot Exalto 2, Pilot Sport 3, Pilot Sport 4, so I got used to get a more focused tyre to make 40 000 kms.
On this new Mercedes C300e the car came from factory with the goodyear F1 A5, never had goodyear as tyre, (BMW equiped with Bridgestone), so I drove them like I used to drive BMW's with Michelin PS4... it didn't go as expected, when pushed to the limits the tyre tends to "let go" without warning, the limits come without telling you. As the wear of the tyre goes, this unsafety sensation grows. For the first time in a long time I could, on a rear wheel drive car, wear out the front tyres before the rears. In 26 000 kms they are worn regularly, if may say a little bit more on the shoulders, but pretty identical across the tyre.

Fantastic in all aspects, truly transformed the feel of the car. But sadly after only 3 years all 4 of mine have cracked so badly I've had to replace them. I've got Asymmetric 6s on now and they're a worthy replacement, also fantastic in all metrics, but zero cracking from them so far.

Brought these in France 2020 after reading all the tests on them.
Imported the car to New Zealand with them on.
They were amazing tyre fantastic in the dry and the wet. Perfect balance and the ability to really push them to their limits. But when they got about 50% wear they would struggle with standing water which is fair enough all tyres behave like this.
They are also a very noisy tyre on course chip NZ road's.
Then the car developed a pull to the Left at low speeds.
It also developed a wobble a low speeds.
Pulled the Front LH side of to inspect and to my amazement the tyre casing had changed shape on the inside.
I had a set of Winter's so I fitted the complete set.
After inspection of all of the Goodyear Asymptotic 5's with about 25k wear 3 had done the same fault.
Total casing shape change and structural failure.
Also interesting that its failed in the same part of the tyre on all 3!!
I've never hit a pot hole with these tyres.
I would not recommend these tyres. Will be buying Continentals or Michelin in the summer.

These tyres have lasted 21,000 miles and are 5-6mm all round on the front which is brilliant wear and they are runflat.

Dry and wet grip excellent and are as comfortable as runflats can be on 20 inch wheels.

These are gen 2 runflats and better than gen 1 dunlop sp sport maxx gt that were horrible and distorted when you hit a pothole. These have managed to hold up so far on potholes.

I think they will do 40,000 miles and i will do end of life review.

These tyres are 275/30/20 runflat and managed 20,000 miles and were on 4.5 - 5mm all round untill a cut on the treadblock made me replace them which is a shame. I think they would have lasted minimum 25k and possibly 30k which is amazing.

These gen 2 runflats were as comfortable as can be and replaced the horrid dunlop sp sport maxx gt which when hit a pothole just bulged.

Dry and wet grip excellent and thrse are brilliant in runflat and at £275 each from Asda tyres not cheap but do the job. The reason i keep runflats is i had a puncture and i drove to work and back 80 miles and then had to replace them as they shreded onnthe inside but kept me going. No tyre sealant and no spare in the car means i keep the runflats and the tyre sealant wouldnt have worked.
