Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 2 review
The Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 2 is widely regarded as a high-performance summer tire that excels in wet and dry grip, offering a significant improvement in ride comfort and noise levels over many OEM and run-flat alternatives. While most users praise its confidence-inspiring handling and daily drivability, a subset of enthusiasts notes that its softer sidewall construction can lead to a less precise steering feel compared to stiffer, more track-focused competitors.
Owners rate it 11.2 points higher than the instrumented road tests do — see the two score breakdowns below for where they disagree.
