Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 3 vs Goodyear EfficientGrip — Compared (September 2026)

“Most recent 3 tyres for me: Current at >40,000km - Bridgestone Potenza RE003 ~20,000km - Michelin Pilot Sport 4 ~35,000km - Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 3 The Pilot Sport 4 has been my favourite of the three by far - handling felt just as good as the Goodyear Eagle F1 whilst having less road noise and incredible wet grip, but they just didn't last long. But I enjoyed them so much I'll try the Pilot Sport 5's next as they supposedly have improvements to tread wear.”

“Hi there, I need to put new tyres on my f30 330d. I want to switch away from run flats. The tyres will be used all year round. I was veering towards the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 3 as recommended by this website (although I am open to other suggestions): ... However the snow performance seems to be lacking (not too surprising given they are a summer tyre) ... Therefore I was wondering about Michelin crossclimate instead: ... I live in a rural part of the south east so I get no more than two weeks of snow a year but face driving on un-gritted roads when it does snow. The rub here is that I'm compromising the cars performance for the rest of the year to make sure I'm OK for 2 weeks in winter! Any thoughts on which option would be best for somebody in my position? Thanks”

“Hi, I currently have Falken Azenis FK510s all round and i need to replace both front tyres. Sticking with Runflats, are these a good option: Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 3 (225/40 R19 93Y) ROF XL *BMW [F] and is there any downsides to running 2 different brands? The back don't need changing yet car is a 335d xDrive Thanks for any info”

“Originally Posted By: slacktide_bitog DTD has their memorial day sale, and the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 3 is $132 each, plus $200 in rebates. If you open up a DTD credit card, there is another $100 $50 rebate available (making the total $300 $250 off) I made a slight mistake, sorry But still, $200 or $250 off the set of four tires is a great deal”

“Goodyear EfficientGrip Performance SUV - disappointing ditchfinders? Hi all, We're about 4 months into our EX30 ownership (dual motor, UK) and as the weather here changes into the winter and roads become greasy and slippy, I've become increasingly disappointed in the OEM Goodyear boots that the car came supplied with. They are twitchy, lose traction very easily and often break away at the back end without even the smallest amount of provocation. My wife has also commented that they don't inspire confidence in the wet and she's found herself tip-toeing around them at junctions and roundabouts in a way that she's never had to do with other car / tyre combos. Our previous car (Cupra Born) also had Goodyears as OEM tyres, but I don't remember them being as bad as these. In the end, those were recalled by the manufacturer and we had Continentals on for most of our life with the car, which were absolutely fine even with only RWD. The other car is on its second set of Michelin CrossClimates (which are absolutely excellent!) and I'd planned on fitting these to the EX30 when the Goodyears wore out, but I'm now seriously considering replacing them early and flogging them on as part-worns to recoup a bit of the lost cash. I certainly wouldn't have picked Goodyears myself, but does anyone else have any experience (especially on crappy UK autumn road conditions!) that they care to share before I go and burn some money on an early-race pit stop...?

“GOODYEAR EfficientGrip Performance 205/55 R17 91V - reliability and resistance to damage question Hello guys! I'm driving Skoda Octavia. not a racer, just a usual 40yo man. I have a set of GOODYEAR EfficientGrip Performance 205/55 R17 91V on the car, and during the last 2 months I lost three tires, all the same way - pothole on the road, visibly small, front right wheel, instantly deflates, and a hole in tire not on tread but on the side - irreparable, new tire for 130eur, repeat again. Do you by chance know if it's the pattern for the model, or am I getting EXTREMELY unlucky? Can you maybe suggest some tire models and characteristics to look into to stop this from happening? I have only 2 out of 4 original tires left, so maybe it makes sense to change the entire set.”

“How bad is this? Should I replace these Goodyear efficient grips? Apparent tread chipping. DOT 2021, Made in 🇩🇪. Run 30k kilometres(18,000 miles). Mild off-roading on some back roads. Has seen 2 summers in Dubai. Chipping only in front 2 tyres. Diligently rotated tyres every 10k kms. Please advice …..”

“Ultra contact is average, never tried e-primacy but currently on primacy 5 and they aren't worth the price . My brother drives on Goodyear efficient grip performance 2 currently, and they are way better than ultra contact ( he used them last year, and better than my michelin), so honestly it would be a no brainer to go with Goodyear for me. BUT since you're driving a mazda 3, can't you find continental premium contact in this size ? They are really GOOD, I had them last year, you always have good grip, dry/wet, doesn't matter, that tire is very alive in corner, it enjoys being pushed in corners, only downside is that they wear faster than Goodyear, but I say it's well worth it.”
