Goodyear Eagle F1 SuperSport

I have Seat Leon Cupra R 265hp from factory + mods (I don't know how much hp right now). I have them for over 6000 miles, and I think I can leave good review now. First of all, when you are buying Tyre, you need to be sure that you are buying correct Tyre for your car!! This step is very very important! Some of them have symbol for BMW, some of them for VW some for Audi etc. Correct symbol for your car you can find in GoodYear web site! They are not the same tires even they look the same and only one symbol is different. That can have big impact on your performance in you buy wrong brand tire. On dry I'm sure that this is the best UUHP tyre. Reasons for that are few. First GoodYear Super Sport has better heat resistance from PS4S or Continental Sport Contact 7. This tyre can hold much more punishment without losing performance or feedback. PS4S or SC7 overheat much faster and they start to lose performance a lot. Also wear as soon as you overheat PS4S or SC7 is terrible side walls cries especially. GoodYear did much better job here as well. GoodYear has much better side walls and that's very important if you are going on track or some roads where you have rocks on the ground. They are stronger, also they have rim protection as well. On Dry GoodYear simply has the edge, feedback, performance are simply on highest level for UUHP tyres. On wet is different story, SC7 is much better but don't worry it's not like on Ice, SC7 is just better in wet even GoodYear is good in wet as well. Braking: I think SC7 is better here but only until tyre starts to overheat. Overheated tyre and braking into corner are not for SC7 or PS4S. It will kill them, GoodYear overall is better here as well. On other Side Comfort is a bit better for PS4S just a bit, but the best on SC7. Noise completely the same situation. Now Wear: This is UUHP tyre, I hate when people buy them and except from sticky tyre to last over 50-60k miles. This tyres are for performance not for long milage, but if you drive in regular daily conditions, faster to make some fun on open road on weekends you can except like 30-50k miles for sure without burnouts or similar. Everything depends on how hard you drive. Conclusions: If you want best performance, feedback and that performance last GoodYear is simply the best. This is the sportiest UUHP tyre you can buy. If you are more on comfort side but you need performance, go for PS4S. SC7 is the best if you have more rainy days like in UK for example. If you live in very hot area, go for GoodYear. Also, GoodYear produced in Germany is much better class then in some other factories in Balkan or similar. Be careful where do you buy tires as well.

I really enjoyed these tyres, on mountain roads with lots of bends they give me confidence even at high speed, excellent response even when braking, on wet surfaces they hold well. Without exaggeration.

I have mixed feelings about this tire because they deliver what promised but they develop flat spot overnight and this is quite disappointing, not expecting this issue with a top tire. Grip and road feedback is great on dry roads not driven yet on wet, noise level and fuel consumption same as my previous tires: CSC7, Michelin PS5
Not regretting buying the tires but just disappointed with the overnight flat spots.
PS: Sidewall design is awful:)

Dry Handling and Cornering is amazing. Inspires confidence. Fares well in the wet for UUHP tyre. Wear is fast on extreme torque usage. Well worth it though!

I had these on the front of my rear wheel drive car for 3 years and 8 months and covered 21k miles. They came new with 7mm tread depth and still had 4mm left when I took them off. So I think that's very good wear for an UHP tyre. I've only taken them off as I've decided to change back to the original tyre size that my car came with.
I liked the way these tyres sat on the wheel (235/35/19 on a 8j wheel). The sidewalls were flat which I like (I don't like rounded sidewalls) and offered some curb protection. However you're never really going to be safe from the curbs with low profile tyres.
I've used multiple premium brands in my 26 years of driving and Goodyear have always been well balanced. I've used Eagle F1 Asymmetric 1, 2 and 3 in the past and they were very good. The Supersport once again were very good performers overall. I can't fault them in the warm and dry and I pushed them hard. In the cold and wet I can't recall any time when they let me down either. The only downside to the Supersport is they seem to be quite stiff because I could feel all the bumps in the road. The advantage to this was the steering was spot on.
I once had to hit the brakes to avoid a collision and although these did skid, they stopped the car just in time so I guess they did their job. That's what you pay premium brands for.
If choosing between Supersport and Asymmetric, I'd go with Asymmetric. For everyday driving the Asymmetric will be more comfortable. The only advantage I can see with the Supersport is if you plan to push your car hard.

Without major differences with the F1 eagle, they have a very similar grip in dry and wet conditions, very similar range of kilometers, taking into account that the front ones are unable to withstand more than 6000 miles and the rear ones hold up, without problems, for 12,000 miles.When driving this type of car, neither comfort nor sound are important.

What a tyre! Bought the tyre for my A6 Avant 3.0tdi Quattro to replace the Fulda tyres which were really terrible on this car. The eagle f1 SS have now done over 57000km and just measured the tread depths as I am selling the car; still 4mm all around!!! Just mindblowing. Apart from the impressive wear figures, the tyre has been really good, especially dry handling and stability at high speeds(lots of Autobahn on them). But also nothing to complain about wet grip, never had any iffy moments on them but run a set of winter tyres when below 10 deg C. Comfort is always a thing when these tyres are reviewed and although it is not most comfortable, it was not an issue on my A6 (with air suspension though), combined with 18in 245/45 tyres. So in short, wonderful tyre for a heavy powerful diesel, grippy, stable, and amazing wear!

As a performance summer tyre this is hard to fault. Is direct, giving good turn in and feed back, on FWD at least, and, with a little bit of heat, very good grip. Braking is positive as well. It is not the tyre if you want super comfort as it is quite stiff, so you notice bumps more so than some other tyres. It is less competent in the wet, possibly because it runs cooler. Straight wet braking still seemed good, but more care is required in corners than maybe some other tyres if you are attempting to push on, including accelerating out of corners. It is certainly not terrible in the wet however. I do occasionally track my car, but I have absolutely wanted to avoid using full track day tyres, that I have used on other cars and so these are a second set of tyres. Their performance on track, for a "normal" road tyre is exemplary. I don't feel disadvantaged at all over track tyres and the wear rate is very good. If you were going to plough round Anglesey all day, then you may have an issue, but lots of 5 to 6 lap sessions around UK circuits and they are still good to be left on all summer.

This is the best road tyre I have ever used on my car. I used this tyre for every day driving, road trips and trackdays and it is absolutely amazing.
On daily driving the tyre is working absolutely fine and does have always grip. Except the temperature is below 10 degrees and it's wet. Than the tyre struggles with grip. The michelin pilot sport 4s is here better.
But on the another hand, the tyre is working also on a trackday very good. It doesn't have the ultimate grip like a cup2, but it is consistent, and it doesn't overhead. The grip is high, and the tyre does not fall apart when driven hard. Also, the tyre wear on a track or on a windy road is simply amazing! Even when if you drift, the tyre wear is really good. I mean, when you drift, the wear is always high, but this tyre was able to take some hard beating!

I would definitely buy it again, but goodyear stopped to produce this tyre in my size.
But the feedback, the durability and the grip was absolutely amazing for a road tyre!

I got these three a couple of years ago on a very attractive offer from Costco.

These tyres are extremely competent on a summer’s day. Above 10°c and a dry road I could never reached their limits. In the rain they are also very well put together, albeit I never pushed them in the wet.

Unfortunately, I could never fully enjoy these tyres. Due to the horrendous degradation of our roads, soon after purchase I hit an extremely bad pothole (under a railway bridge. Couldn’t see it until it was too late). Although the tyre and wheel was refitted, I never felt like I could fully trust them. This is there downside. They are extremely hard (due to being a UUHP) and just can’t cope with our roads. They get thrown about all over the place and don’t make for a pleasant ride. This isn’t the fault of the tyres, but really can’t recommend them as an everyday in the UK.

I will add finally that they are useless in the winter. This is no surprise, but under 8°c they are rock hard. So do keep this in mind. Perhaps have a set of winters/All seasons and run these only in the summer.

Having run many sets of Michelin Pilot Supersports over the years on my Megane R26, I fancied a change. I bought these Goodyears and very quickly noticed a heavy pull in the direction of the camber. Furthermore, when they wore down to abo 2mm they were dreadful in the wet.
I’m now back on the Michelins and the car is a pleasure to drive once again.
Avoid.

Very precise tire on dry roads with excellent steering response. Very rigid sides for great stability and maneuverability. The answer is direct and very precise. Good feedback. Rolling silence and correct comfort for a hyper sport tire. Good in fuel consumption and longevity. Good grip in the rain but worse braking distance than Assymetric 5. I even found that the grip was not so bad on the snow. In short, I recommend this tire 100% if you like to have a little fun

Great tyres for road and track, if you like.
Not too noisy but not a quiet tire.
Wear is great. Mine have seen a few trackdays and around 40000km and there is still plenty of tire left.
If you find them for a good price, BUY!

Second set of GY SS (mix fitment 255 35 R19, 225 40 R19) i've tried ps 4s and Bridgestone PSS in between howewer, there is something about these GY SS that it making me happy... overall dry grip is comparable to semi slick tyre and unlike Michelin or Bridgestone these tyres can tolerate a lot more abuse on track before overheating. Oweral dry grip is insane as well as feedback , steering is super responsive hi speed directionall stability is excelent.

Wet grip is realy good comparable with Michelin PS4, solid grip in the wet with slightly less tolerance for aquaplaning (obviously it is not designed to be competition rain tyre so be careful while exploring limits :)

Treadwear, comfort and noise level... as expected from uuhp tyre (spirited driving 15000km max)

At the end amazing tyres for price

Stock tires from a VW Golf R. On road they are ok, with fine traction for daily driving, with some driving mixed in. I do find they are rather noisy for a tire of this type. When I switch from my winter tires to these summer tires, I notice an increase in NVH which doesn't seem intuitive but every year I notice the difference.

On track is a different story, I do not recommend them. They're fine under braking and acceleration. You'll need more negative camber to get the tires to bite in corners and on exit. But regardless of suspension and alignment changes they get greasy very quickly and their ideal temperature range is very narrow. Feedback is poor and wear is high as a result. Based on their design and my experience the shoulders of the tire aren't robust enough. For a tire with such glowing reviews I am very disappointed in their performance for light track use (autocross and short tracks, 8 laps per day following a 2 lap warm up, 1 lap push, 1 lap cool down sequence. 3-4 times a year).
