Full Version: Time To Replace The Goodyear Eagle F1 Assymetrics

Right, time has come to replace all 4 tyres.

Currently have the Goodyear Eagle F1A's- they have been good, although they seem to have worn quickly. The F1A's have lasted 16.5k- I do a lot of motorway/dual carriageway driving, I was expecting to get about 25k out of the F1A's or am I expecting too much? I always swap my tyres (back to front) every 5k to get even wear.

Anyway, I have gone for the Yokohama C drive assymetrics as replacements- I thought I'd try another brand. Would have gone for the F1A's again, if I did less mileage. The F1A's are great in the wet and the drip is awesome. I've gone for the Yokohama's as they have the assymetric design, which I think works well.

The Yokohamas come in at £95 each (inc fitting) where as the F1A's are £115 each. Tyretraders.com are supplying the tyres.

Will report back my findings on the Yokohamas once I have got them fitted.

Had the Yoko's fitted on the weekend by the local HiQ centre- They didn't damage my alloys as most fast fit centres seem to do in my experience.

So far I've only driven about 50 miles on the new rubber (wearing them in atm), but they do seem even more quiter and gripper than the Gooyear F1A's- maybe its going from 2mm tread on the F1A's to brand new rubber?

I'll see how I get on with the Yoko C drives, but so far I'm impressed.

Here's a picture of the new Yokohama C drive tyre- they are a asymmetric design, like the F1A's:
