Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetrical

not used them on a track but they are excellent on the road in both dry and wet, loads of grip and have a decent amount of rim protection.

+1 on the F1's shame they don't last long and now cost £140+ each  :sad:

Ive got over 25k out of the falkens now. Same driving and the F1's lasted 10k or 4 months

half tempted to give falkens a go now if they'll last that long

getting another 15k compared F1s is a huge saving

I do 80% motorway driving though. Falkens have been good second time round and lasted ages.
