Goodyear eagle F1 replacement? What are they called now?

[Dan.B]

Hi Guys,

I currently run 4x Bridgestone RE050A but two of them are now knackered due to a pot hole!

I've searched on here for the best tyre and most people have said Goodyear eagle F1. This tyre isn't available anymore so what has replaced it?

I work in the trade so have a long list of makes/models to choose from but want a decent tyre that isn't as noisy as the Bridgestone!


Thanks in advance!

P.s I drive a GTD on 18" Monzas.

Ditto the above

I had 15k out of them. Covered just over 10k with the Goodyears and only got 3mm left 

I'll be going back to the Vreds. Camskill have them for £82 per corner at the moment

Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 2 is the replacement.  This might help:

I've got Continental sport contact 5p's and rate them highly.  Just about to replace fronts at 3mm and got 13k miles out of them.

Think that's about what I paid,the wet grip is on another level and the tread pattern looks cool not that you can see it when driving ha

In terms of performance I couldn't tell any difference between the two brands apart from the price

Ordered 2x Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 2's today.

Cheers all.
