New Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric

[bryce]

Any new users / further updates on these Goodyear F1 Assys?

Needing to change mine v soon so thinking of GY rather as Michelin, saving £80 a corner. Dont want to move to a lesser tyre though.

So far, I've done two winter Track days on mine (Brands Hatch & Bedford Audrome) and I must say I'm very impressed with them:thumbs:. Very communicative with lost of feedback and tones of grip, even in the wet & cold. I would happily buy another set, when these wear out :thumbs: :beer:

Right, 13K miles on my set and I have to say I didn't like them that much. Only used them on the road and I felt the grip wasn't brilliant as I'd expect. That said, I have only had the Assymetrics on the CSL.

Mine are now goosed, the rears are on the tread blocks, the fronts are chamfering on the inside edge, prob 3mm+ across the rest of the rear.

Would I get another set, no.....

However I need a set right now and Quikfit are doing 25% off goodyears. £730 for 235/35 & 265/30. PS2? £1300!!!! :banghead: PZero Neros - £995!

Looks like I am getting another set!

I'm the opposite, I would never buy another set of PS2's after using the goodyears

What about 245/35 and 275/30? Certainly cheaper for GY. I reckon you could get a full set for about £650 by shopping around t'internet and asking Kwikfit to price match.

Not sure what else available in those sizes. I just put new GY rears on 265/30 as I had a puncture and realised that I had 275/30 on before... :banghead: Now I have one OK (4mm) 275/30 in my garage. Fat lot of f*cking good that'll be then...

Thought the GY were OK but nothing to compare against as that's all I've had on the CSL.

Do you guys go anywhere specific to fit your tyres? Or just go to any local garage

:whistle:
Had all four fitted today by some great lads at Kwik-fit in the middle of Swindon (next to the Shell garage). Coped with the lower suspension without a drama, fitted all four without marking the rims, filled with nitrogen and swapped a cup over on my track rims without charging for it.

235/35 & 265/30 for £750 all up! Car feels much better and softer on the bumps already. My old rears were slicks less some tread on 3" on either edge!

My most recent tyre fitting experience was at Kwik Fit in Sandhurst and i was pleasantly surprised by the service level - against all expectations...! :thumbs:

What PSI are you guys running with Goodyear F1?

Just checked my tyres cold this morning, think they are over-inflated. This is what I got:

Front Left: 24 PSI
Front Right: 29 PSI

Rear Left: 30 PSI
Rear Right: 30 PSI

Shouldnt it be around 27-28 PSI Cold?

I think you'll find they're under-inflated!

The recommended pressures according to the sticker on the door pillar are (iirc) 2.4 bar all round = 35psi

Conflicting info alert! :smt017

I run my Goodyear Eagle F1 on the fronts @ 2.4 bar and the rears @ 2.2 bar :thumbs:

Really?

So is it cups that should be run at 32 PSI HOT, around 26-28 Cold, not Goodyears?

Im confused

[anissut]

So 30psi cold = 35psi hot? Can anyone confirm?

[shimmy]

So 30psi cold = 35psi hot? Can anyone confirm?

i run my PS2 at around 33 front and 35 rear cold for general road driving, a bit higher than usual but reduces edge wear


cups i keep at 32 front and rear (they do seem to generate more heat and therefore pressure gains even on the road)
