As you noted, huge props to Goodyear to let you test the best of the competition. I like that.
Also huge props to his honest, objective review. He could've been swayed, even subconsciously, to avoid criticizing the Goodyear given he was at a Goodyear test facility. He's an honest reviewer and at no point did it feel like a Goodyear promotional video. I'm a tire nerd and enjoy his reviews.
Goodyear has REALLY stepped up there game , with This tire , the Goodyear Eagle F1 3R & the new Goodyear Eagle F1 Supersports range
True. Although Michelin PSS/PS4S are even better than Contis. Would have loved to see that too.
This Vs Michelin Pilot Sport 4?
Looking for a safe comfortable and low noise tyre
Excellent. Nicely done. Your continuous, real-time narration makes it all very real. I like..!
Thanks for showing the after-results of the actual wear on a track. Really makes a big difference when we can't necessarily swap tires after each track event.
Already ordered my asymmetric 5's before seeing this so good news & another great review
Great, I look forward to your review :)
To be honest I never thought Tyre reviews could be so interesting. Thanks so much for the content.
Thanks for the kind words :)
Thank you for providing real coherent tyre tests and comparison on video with all the data!!!! Very useful :-)
Excellent review - very detailed, exactly what the viewer is looking for, thanks!
Thank you!
Hugely informative vid and great to see cars driven on the limit but with no silly power slides thrown in just to entertain the kids. Bought Goodyear ASY5s for my Boxster on the back of this review and couldn’t be happier as they were incredibly cheap compared to the Michelin and Conti rivals. Cheers again.
Good work Jonathan. Hope your tyre videos get as many views as some people's supercar videos and they help others to increase their motoring pleasure as much as my last two sets of tyres have for me.
Have the Aym 3s on just now and was gonna go with direct replacement but now gonna go for the Assm 5s . Thanks for a great review
How you manage to make tyres interesting is beyond me but well done and keep it up
haha thank you!
I was looking for a review of the Eagle F1 5's and what do you know.... you're testing them with the exact same car I have!!!! I'm sold - thanks for the detailed review :)
I already know one of the key questions is going to be why the CPC6 and not the Michelin Pilot Sport 4? Looking at previous test data, which you can find on www.tyrereviews.co.uk, both the CPC6 and MPS4 are so closely matched, it doesn't really matter, and at the time of test there was better availability of the Continental in the open market. I hope you enjoy the video otherwise, and don't forget to subscribe as there is lots of great fun coming this year! If you have an opinion on your own tyres, head over to www.tyrereviews.com to leave a review for all to see!
You knew we were going to ask about the Michelin PS4 or PS4s, lol. Thanks.
Great video. Cheers!
Haha! Great videos!! Looking forward to next video! Is FK510 same range with continental premium contact 6 and Bridgestone Potenza S001? Which one better?
Funny thing, I went to a online tire dealer's site (regional to the Balkans) to check the prices for GYAS5, MPS4 and CPC6 and the CPC6 is the cheapest of the bunch (5% cheaper than the Goodyear and 4% cheaper than the Michelin), with the price difference between the Michelin and Goodyear being literally a buck fiddy (or 1 Pound Sterling, if you will). Tire size I searched for was 225/40/18, price difference may vary based on tire size.
P.S. How does Nankang stack up? As a budget option, being more than half the price in some cases...
Shouldn't you, to be fair, take some extra laps around the track with each tyre in the reverse order? I feel that maybe you getting used to the car and the track + the extra rubber laid on the pavement for each round could translate into progressively better lap times?
After picking up some Conti TS 860s for my 280 Superb in the winter thanks to the channel (no snow though, natch) I came right back to look at the new summers. I was probably looking at MPS4 anyway but now, if I can find some, will pick up some F1A5 depending on the price. MPS4 are avalable at £151 a corner fitted. Finding them though is proving difficult in 245/40/19. Only seen them at Mytyres right now and at £688 for 4, compared to £544 for 4 MPS4s from Protyre (with the £100 Michelin cashback offer) its probably going to be those!
Keep up the good work. Even though I'll probably not need new tyres now for a couple of year I do still enjoy the content.
Just had 4x F1 5s fitted to my S4, looking forward to getting to know them.
Great review. I just switched from the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 2 to the Asymmetric 5 on my 2018 Focus St and love the tire so far. It has a nicer ride on Michigan roads it a very nice improvement. Tread life went from a 240 to 300 also so I hope to get longer tread life too.
Great unbiased review, his voice at 3.57 made me lol
Thank you for the very well presented superb review. Asym 5's for me!
Always get so excited whenever you post a new video! I make popcorn and everything xDD
Haha thank you!
Bought the Goodyear because of your advice keep the up the good work
Could you please share your feedback about good year? Does it cost to buy them?
Great test and great video, good presentation fella
Thank you!
Fantastic review. Really helpful.
You have some really good real world reviews. Thanks a lot!
I appreciate that!
Just ordered 2x Asy 5 for my Merc front side. Already have Asy 3 on rear and just love the way they cruise in Rain while other people are slowing down :)
Finally as I requested some time ago and the coincidence couldn’t be better. I also drive a Mk7 GTI with the assymetric 5 for a month and I’m really happy, good to see how they behave against the continentals
Pedro Costa how is the road noise on the Goodyear’s.
great review and it helped me decide as I have just put 4 new Goodyear Eagle F1 Assy 5 on my SLC43
I hope you like them :)
just bought 235/40 r18 for my passat cc 1.8 tsi... this video helped me for the choice.. and the result is fantastic!! they fit my car perfectly!! low tyre noise.. excellent high speed stability.. good comfort aswell.. excellent breaking in dry and wet.. and finally good price/performance.. i highly recommend this product
Wich ones did you bought?
Got the Asymmetric 3 a couple weeks back. Great too see it also performs well in your tests!
Why did you not buy the newer and better Asymmetric 5...?
MotoZest I actually meant the Asymmetric 5! Been really loving them. Best set of tires I’ve had so far.
@@Neejoh Yeah, they're amazing tires, and the fact that they come in 18in sizes is amazing.
Good god I hope you make a lot of money. As I watch your tire reviews I'm thinking your head is going to explode as you try and get all the information out stored in your brain. Without a doubt you are the best person I have ever heard review tires in the past 60 years of my life learning about tires. (Tires are the most important item of any car that drives on any road). Thanks for your dedication and knowledge.
Apprezziamo molto le minime differenze e ciò che tu DICI, riguardo al movimento gomma in curva , alla più sterzata , alla comunicazione della gomma . È’ esattamente la verità . Sei il numero 1 al mondo per testare le gomme ! Bravissimo , you are the BEST .
Brilliant review. Happy that I went for the Asym 5's for my last set. About 1,500 miles in and all is well. Was planning on leaving a review once I get to about 5,000 miles on them.
Can't wait for the review!
what's your update on this?
@@namdor11 They are excellent. I ran them for about 16k on my Ford Focus, before moving the wheels over to my Renault Clio 197, where they have done a few k more. Still have at least 4-5mm tread all round.
The Focus was then treated to a brand new set of 18" Asy5's. So if that's not high enough praise, that I bought them again, over the PS4's, then I don't know what is.
im slowly becoming a huge good year tires fan, im also rocking the efficiency grip performance 2, switched from the pirelli p zero rosso assimetrico which are even more expensive and really good tires, but the good years are all around really balanced and more affordable tires
I just got some sport contact 6 on my 265 trophy after watching your vid about them. i hade PS4S previousley. they are great and the whirring noise from the MPS4S has gone. they feel a tad softer than the michilen but still very positive, and the grip is fantastic
Glad you like them :)
I’ve watched so much of this channel over the last couple of days and I keep changing my mind what tyres I need for my Mk2 TTS! 😩
Buy one of each and mix them. You're welcome (jks)

@@c7uk Sweeeet! Leave a review once you're settled in :D
Great test, tnx!! Hello from Croatia!!
Hello!
Love the videos. Keep up the good work, my girlfriend thinks I'm weird always watching tyre videos 😂.
I'd love to see this year a head to head with all the top road summer tyres i.e Michelin, continental, Dunlop etc. As I am running Dunlop sportmaxx 2 on my Scooby and would love to see how it compares to the Rest
June :)
Great review, as always! Just wondering, Do you scrub in the tyres first before doing the comparisons and if so, how?
Generally no we don't bother, we just warm them up slowly on the outlaps
I've just had 4 of the new F1A5's fitted to an MX-5 and the change from the OEM Bridgestones is huge. No more sketchy oversteer in damp conditions. Can't wait for it to dry up to really push them and see how they compare to PS4's I've previously used
Hey what size do you have?
@@MrLeeoosim They're 205/45/17, so OEM size, with a slightly higher load rating (88 vs. 84 of factory)
I look forward to a review :)
Unless your MX-5 is boosted you won't be having any troubles pushing those tires with it in any conditions apart from wintertime. They stick to the road like shit to a blanket, both wet and dry...
16000 miles, two track days, coilovers fitted with ~2 degrees of camber, and one rotation later, the fronts are at 2mm and the rears at 1.6mm. Up until around 2.5mm they were sublime for both wet and dry grip, easily keeping up with more exotic stuff on track. Steering feel and feedback could be improved, but that's in part due to the MX5 ND having a pretty numb electric rack anyway... Can't complain about wear really, one of the track days was in 25c+ heat with fairly long sessions as well, along with around 3000 miles around Europe trying to keep up with an F430. Quite progressive at the limit, and allows you to have small slip angles without struggling to keep it there. I think the one thing I am missing with them is response on initial turn in, as they can feel quite numb on first input. Once past that they are fine though.
Only thing now is what next? I'll likely be going up one size to 215/45/17, which means either PS4/F1A5/PC6 as normal, but also opens the door to the Cup 2, however wear and wet grip/aquaplaning will take a hit. Any thoughts?
Working at a tire shop ive noticed so many people buy economy tires ( kelly edge, blacklion, pantera, etc) I would love to see some reviews/ comparisons on this. Keep doing the awesome work you're doing I look forward to your videos and unbias reviews!
Economy tyres as in cheap tyres or ones with low rolling resistance?
@@R6VIIshooter cheapp tires
You'd care but unlikely the buyers would. They just want the cheapest tyres, even though their kids lives are at stake. Some people are fools.
@@1250GSX Should be downright illegal to buy cheap tires, i dont even understand why people want to buy tires that put their lives at danger.
Obviously they have passed testing and what not, but in sometimes we are talking huge braking distance, compared to more premium tires. In Extreme Wet, Wet and of course Dry.
I was just thinking that. Some cheap tires are very good, mostly they are from Thailand, Indonesia, ect. Not China. Great quality for an amazing price. Kelly is not great I can tell you, 1990s tires. Cooper generally crap too these days, they haven't come up from the 2000s, a time when I sold a lot of them. Even thier best new tires I dont care for, dry rot, wear ect. I've been in the biz 20 years. I'm running Thunderers or GT radials today on my cars. Great for the money. Half the price of lower end name brands. 1/4 the price of a Michelin!! LMAO
Thunderer Mach 4 are not 1/4 the tire of a Michelin more like 10- 15% less performance in 3 seasons. Now I've rode on some kellys and coopers that felt like they were much worse than these Thialand tires. Those were a whole 20% step down.
Hello, nice vid and easy to understand information you brought there. But can you do a comparison for entry level tyre, for example the eco type for daily use
Will try to :) Also see previous video!
Just what I needed, thank you!
Great video, loved it 👍🏴
Thanks!
Thanks mate going for the assym 5 s. Subscribed.
let me know how you find them!
Awsome video as always. One question. I really couldnt hear who did that wear test on the tyres? Also is that test on your site? cheers!
Auto Bild, here - www.tyrereviews.co.uk/Article/2019-Auto-Bild-Summer-Tyre-Test.htm
Great review as always. Keep them coming. Probably of no use to anyone else but could you put a test together to find the "sportiest" 15 inch tyre. My team compete in various sprint and hill climb events and are looking for our next set of road legal tyres?
I'll be doing track day stuff this year but sadly it won't be in 15" as I've nothing to use for the test!
First of all, thank you so much for your reviews. They've lead to my purchase of 3 sets of PS4S'. I'm curious about your review of that F1 A5S vs PS4S. Are you going to do that this season?
Testing WC June 17th so test should be out at the end of June!
Marvelous job putting together a comparison like that! One note though - we were promised a comment on rolling resistance and I don't think you've mentioned that? Could you perhaps name a winner from between Asymmetric 5 and PC 6? Thanks!
I did forget RR. The PC6 and Asym 5 both average C in rolling resistance label so are very close. As for a winner... too hard to call!
Hi Folks,
Loved the video...
Definitely swaying towards the Goodyear A5 for my SAAB 93 Aero now.
Currently have 225/45r17 on, but can I put on 235/45r17 on the same wheels? Is there any benefit to doing this? Any comments would be greatly appreciated.
Keep up the good work!!!!
I've just ordered 4 F1 a5 after this review for my 2.0 Tfsi leon I was on uniroyal rain sport 3s hoping these are a improvement.
Let me know how you get on, they should be a huge improvement :)
Just ordered 4 Asy5s for my car. Looking forward to trying them. Much better value than other premium tyres
Let me know how you find them!
@@tyrereviews They're very nice. Sadly with the lockdown I can only use them once a week to go to work in. Still, should save the tread a bit I suppose!
Please add a tire weight comparison for us folks worried about rotational mass :D amazing content as usual
I'm doing an entire video to do with wheel and tyre weights soon :) I'll try and find the data for these now.
It's been a week since I purchased a set of Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 5"s 235/45R17, can say that they have great wet grip/braking and fuel economy has also improved. However they are significantly louder than my previous set of continentals. If they last 50k Kms then they are a steal but I doubt they will last that long as the roads here in UK are getting worse day by day.
Nice comparison and I am glad with the result as I just bought and mounted the GY Eagle F1 Asym 5 on my Citroen C5. It is not a sports car but it is fantastic on the highway and I sometimes have a heavy foot and therefore decided to replace my GY Efficient Grip Performance 225/55/17, which made around 75.000km (45.000miles), had still plenty of tread (about 4,5mm), but were 6 years old with the EF1Asym5. BUT what I noticed the most was the difference in tire behaviour as a result of different LOAD INDEX and EXTRA LOAD (XL) property of the tire. The difference is very noticeable, the EFP wich were 101V and XL were louder, harder and more direct and the EF1Asym5 97Y (not XL) are more comfortable, quieter and have amazing braking but you notice the softness of the tire wall when making sudden changes of direction. I really put a lot of effort in choosing the 225/55/17 97Y model as the load and speed indexes were more than sufficient for my car. Later, after I bought the new tires Asym5, I noticed the sticker on the car that specified the 97W or V as the default tire for my vehicle and also added tha they be Michelin Primacy HP ... ... ... BUT how to choose the optimal tire for a specific car in regard to LOAD INDEX and SPEED RATING and XL option as well? Would you do one episode on that? Comparing the same size and model tire but with a different load index, speed rating and XL option ... wouldn't that be something?! And consequently check tire ware and so on. PLEASE do one episode on that as it is such an important thing that we forget to consider and usually let the service clerk decide for us, as long as the model and size are ok. But the differences are very big. So guys, are you with me? Would you like to see that? Or am I the only one bothering with those details?
I'm glad you like them :) If you get the time, feel free to leave a review on www.tyrereviews.com :)
Tyre Reviews will do. First I have to make one for the EGP :) and after some time will also do the EF1Asym5. Keep up the good work.
WOW! Thank you! I always have issues with wear of tires sides. What you have shown at 11:20 is very important to me. I know what to buy for my 2016 mx5 :)
It's worth remembering, as mentioned in the video the kind of consistent heat we generate on track would never be possible with normal road driving
Could you do a review of the Bridgestone Potenza S001? Great informative video, keep at it👍🏼
There's a very old one on the website, and lots of data as to why they're not included.
cheers, they’re the ones I have fitted now and just curious to see how they stack up against the competition👍🏼
Insanely amazing of Goodyear to allow you to use the facility! Makes me want to buy Goodyear's simply for allowing the data to be collected
Can't wait for the comparison with the Michelin tires!
Me too!
@@tyrereviews For a BMW 5 series E61 Touring 2007, 3.0 diesel 197 HP, what would be the best tyre in 225/50-R17? I'm mostly looking for ride comfort and high speed stability. BMW specifies Run Flat, and I've noticed that the car is very sensitive to the tyre choice. Can almost become unstable and have serious over-steer on the highway, especially when changing lanes while accelerating, with the wrong tyre. Current winter tyres, Bridgestone Winter Driveguard RFT are perfect for the car, would like to have same stability in an summer tyre.
GREAT VIDEOS!! Shopping now for the best tire for my 2017 subaru legacy...I'm on the fence between goodyear and Michelin pilot sport 4 s...factory tires are Goodyear's...Is that the best that the designers have chosen?
I was unsure on the difference in the 3 Vs the 5 and with needing two new tyres I am going for the 5's as some how they were cheaper than the 3's but also because it's a Better tyre. Thank you
This helped me purchase tires for my ‘17 GTI. Going against my preference, I’m going to pick up a set of Goodyear instead of Michelins
Let me know how you find them!
I have an GTI too and i need change my tires, what u got ? Premmiun 6 or Eagle Ass 5
Perhaps its just me, but I would really like to know the weights of tyres too! Especially compared to the Michelin PS4 in the category of tyre. Some of us choose lighter wheels at the expense of looks, and although i'm not saying I would choose a light tyre over a heavy one without the other components of grip, feel and wet handling being important, I do think these tyres are all pretty close (including the MPS4) and I would be interested to know which is the lightest.
Great video as ever!
I have a new Mini Cooper S as my daily and I'm looking for the best all round tyre that is still going to deliver a sporty drive when I use it on the weekends.
My go to tyre is the Michelin PS4 but I'd really like to know how the new Goodyear would compare to it?
I'm also hoping there will be a new Goodyear Supersport test on the way soon ;)
There's data on the website with PS4 vs Asym 5 and they've both amazingly closely matched. SuperSport will be tested in June :)
Just 2 days ago i fitted the asymmetric 5 225/45/17 on my honda accord.
Previoulsy i had Hankook K125 Prime 3.
The asymmetric 5 feells great on high speed corners,verry good level of grip. Only downsize is that i was expecting a little less noise, but can’t complain.
I was verry close on buying the Debica Presto UHP2 (by the way, this tyre has verry good reviews from consumers) but i got an incredible offer for asymmetric 5 so i chose them.
P.S. i would really want an review from you in the Debica.
Keep up the good job 👌
Glad you like them :)
what engine do you have on your accord?

Well, just a fantastic review. Gonna take Eagle F1 A5 this year for my Octavia Scout 1.8T St1 - my Michelins Primacy 3 are finally over :)
I'm also thinking on doing that on my Hyundai I30. I have Primacy 3 that lasted 45k km. But I'm afraid that the Eagle F1 A5 will have soft side walls no?
Thanks for another great review vid
Just priced these up in France (on a v. popular website) for my GLA 235/50/18 which will need tyres in next 6 months
Surprised and disappointed at Goodyear’s high price vs Conti Prem 6. Had Conti Prem on an A6 Quattro which was v strong in the snow on them. At these prices it’s Conti or Cross Clim. Car spends 4 months in Alps.
Goodyear F1 3’s €130
Goodyear F15’s €180
Conti 6’s €135
Michelin Cross Clim+ €155
That's unusual pricing, I'd shop around
Nice video, good work and looked a lot of fun as usual!
GY Assy remains the standard answer to all-round safe general affordable motoring goodness.
Have you tried any P-Zero (new) yet?
I’ve been on them for a year and have seen a staggering improvement over the old one (NO vs N1) on a Cayman GTS.
I think it’s possibly more of a reverse engineered Corsa, rather than a slightly better old P-Zero.
A Strong tyre!
Moving to PS4S N0 on Wednesday, so really looking forward to that :)
Looking forward to the next one 👍🏻
I've driven on the new PZ4 PZero a few times, never really got on with it as the sidewalls feel quite soft. Would be really keen to know your thoughts on the PS4S compared to the PZ4.
I am quite surprised, but perhaps an N version is slightly different?
I do like a pointy front end, so hope the PS4S adds to the Cayman’s positive attributes.
Also how mad is the Pirelli nomenclature getting 😱
PZ4 has Luxury and sport versions now, still all called P-Zero though 😆
I love the way you pronounce the Goodyear Eagle! 😄
Ordered my Ass.5 last week, they are on the DHL drop-off atm. Gonna get the installed this week :)
Let me know how you find them!
Great review but Im now confused for the best tyres for my car. I was looking at the conti but now im not so sure. I have a mercedes C180 sport with 200bhp. I dont skimp on cost when it comes to safety. I want an all season tyre which may do a track day at Goodwood. I would really appericate your advise on the best tyres for my car.
As usual your review doesn't disappoint! It's just sad that tyres are expensive and last several years, because I'd like to try different tyres out and see which ones I like the most. Now you have to commit to one set of tyres for at least 6 years and by the time it's worn there are new models out.
You can always sell them after 1 or 2 years and get new ones :D
@@nemanjajovanovic451 I've never sold a set of tyres so I don't even know where and how to do it. And wouldn't that be a massive waste of money? How much can you get for a 2 year old set of tyres?
@@Fred_P Well, depends on how muc thread there's left :) There's always someone who would be interested to buy used tyres. I don't know at your country, but in mine you can easily sell them
@@nemanjajovanovic451 After 2 years I would guess there is around 6 mm left. But would you make a post on a buy-and-sell site or what? Because I would guess you won't get a lot of money in a tyre shop.
I have had all three tyres, and I am a huge fan of the Goodyear 5. Presently got the PC5, been a short while and I am impressed. I changed my tires pair by pair and the originals were SC5s, so I tried to keep in line with those. Despite being positively impressed by PC5 and the mileage is too early for a final judgement , nothing would have kept me from buying the Goodyear if I changed all four. Contis still feel somehow like grand touring tires and not the sportiest of the competition, and I don't think I prefer that. Great review, cheers!
The PC6 is much better than the PC5
@@tyrereviews Sorry I screwed up, I actually got the PC6. I am not complaining, I am just getting a Mercedes limo vibe, and I like a sportier feel in general.
Having now had chance to let the asymmetric 5s scrub in,I can definetly say they are a big step up from the asymmetric 2's I have in the rear & with the asymmetric 3s only having been a small step up over the 2s I can see the 5s being a bit step up over the 3s too,the 5s are comfortable informative & very grippy,making it easy to get the rear to slide when I want to as the 5s on the front grip far beyond the grip of the rears
"Asymmetric"
I have a set of CPC6 on my car for a few months, and very, very impressed by them. They are quite, don't seem to have worn even a bit yet and the grip is astounding for its price. However for my other car I'm going to get a set of Asymmetric 5s when the Pilot Sport 3s wear out (few months still) and I'm curious. Haven't owned Goodyear tires before but this review did convince me they're good stuff
I can't wait for your thoughts!
I take Asymmetric 5. Thanks for creating this video! Veeery cool
Superb reviews. I have watched a lot of your videos. Sorry for the length of this comment prehand. I've been struggling with the decision of buying new tires for my v8 charger. Even though i have all this information greatly because of your videos, i need tires that are able to grip and launch for 1/4 mile runs in straight line, while being decent on corners and wet handling. I know you have done videos with an M2, but, do you have access to american muscle cars? And maybe do a best suited for dragstrip launch tire kind of video? You do have people that wstch your videos acroos the pond u know. Anyways if you could reply with a suggestion for my situation i would greatly appreciate it. Keep doing good things mate. U r one of the most professional youtubers that i've seen. Cheers.
As you know, muscle cars don't really exist here, and the tyres you guys use with them (Nitto, Mickey Thompson etc) don't either so I can't be much help :( The Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 should give you good traction but still be better than some of your drag radials in the corners.
@@tyrereviews Thank you. It was one of the runner ups in my list. Definitely will give them a try.
The 5’s are quite a keen price for my Suzuki Swift Sport. The Conti’s are quite a bit more and don’t seem to be able to handle track work, which is no good for me. Although the (old stock) 3’s are a little cheaper, I think the 5’s are a good enough leap forward to get my money.
Great review! I was wondering between these two and now I think I will go with Continental. I would consider AS5 only if they are available in 255/35/18 (as Continental does not offer this size and I have to go with 225/40/18 all around). Thanks!
Looking forward to the sport version test
Me too!
Would like to see some these high dollar tires go up against good off brand competitors and third tier. Ive had some 3rd tier like Thunderer & GT radial, that were excellent for the money at 1/4 the cost of a Michelin. Ive had some 2nd tier brands like coopers and kellys that were terrible.
Thank you for a great video as usual, last weekend I had the Falken HS01 winter tyre shod wheels switched back to the Michelin run flats, still undecided about staying with run flats or swapping to normal. I'd forgotten about the tramlining to be honest
Runflats aren't great. Bridgestone Driveguards tram less
Thanks, I guess maybe the Michelin side walls are more concrete, I drive down to the South of France and know the French aren't always helpful to we Brits, so I like the run flats, in your opinion which are the best run flats for my staggered set up. 205 17 front and 225 17 rear, sorry for being a pain asking, my car has Michelin run flats on one axle and Bridgestone on the other I think
@@davidviner4932 Still the DriveGuards if sticking with runflats
@@tyrereviews thanks I will ask for them when the current ones wear out
Another great vid 👍🏾. Still not keen on the face fur though 🤔
im sure the video is a review on tyres and not on personal appearance
Great review.
Glad you enjoyed it
Good job Man. Thx
Moving my 3 series to Asymmetric 5 on the strength of this! Should be a huge improvement over fun-flats
Out of interest how big was the improvement? I'm putting my 4 series on assy 5's on Saturday, replacing my assy 2 run-flats

Awesome test, but damn man, now I can't wait for supersports vs 4S's test. I need to buy new tyres ASAP and new supersports are way cheaper than 4S's. I can't wait till June :).
Me either! :)
Great video, although I would have skipped the Asymmetric 2 and added the PS4. The holy trinity tested. But I understand the asymmetric 2 was needed for showing the asymmetric 5 improvements.
Between the PS4 and the CPC6 I would also choose the Continentals for the test. People seem obsessed with the PS4 and forget how equally good the alternatives are, specially the CPC6.
Great work, keep it coming. Cheers.
PS: Now I'm getting 4 CPC6s. 😁
Contis and Goodyear never lasted long on our cars. The PS4 seems to last forever in comparision.
I have a grande punto Abarth with 280hp and I'm tired of semislicks. I've tried asymmetric 3 and they were so good in the rain but I care only about dry grip, never taught of premium contact 6 because it's not the sport line of continental but if they are on par with the ps4 it would be a nice choiche
@@LorenzoClara97 For drygrip I can also recommend the Vredestein Ultrac Vorti and his other versions.
@@lukasmeyer1992 did you tried them? I was going for some federal evoluzion st1, pattern looks good but I don't know about the compound
@@LorenzoClara97 Just mounted then on a BMW 130i 265hp. Quite stiff sidewall and very good dry grip. On Autobild Sportscars it made the quickest laptime. Faster than Pirelli PZ4 and Michelin PS4.
Well, this one replaced 2 tires at the same time the Premium Contact 5 and Contact Sport 5
Hello, very interesting test, I just got those asymetric 5 on my RS4 and they feel good,
I would like to hear your impression on the the supersport compare to other track tires.
Thanks for sharing
I've tested the supersport in many of the f ull tests :) check out the supra video
How have the tyres hold up after a year? I read that the goodyear asymmetry 5's compound harden pretty quickly which gives it better wear but weakens the ride quality and grip
Another great review. After you helped me decide to choose to stay with 18s on my new GTI rather than get 19s (previous review), I'm now 'almost' up for a set of front replacements after 14k miles in 12 months(?). Came with Bridgestone Potenza S001 225/40 R18 from factory. These have been fairly ok in truth but nothing special and are noisy on MWay/A/rough roads. I'm thinking of replacing with Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 5s as they appear to be better in every category (your reviews). Any reason why I shouldn't? Or any other to consider? My weekly drive is fast motorway/A road commute. My weekend drive is for fun and car meets. My car is a VW Golf GTI mk7.5 Performance 245PS with DCC active dampers. Thank you! Keep up the great reviews :-) and Merry Christmas!!
Nope, go for it :) The 5's will be great after the S001
@@tyrereviews Cheers. Thank you 😎
Thank you for this review, I am torn between the goodyear asym 5 and conti premium 6, they are exactly the same price in my country. However, it seems that for my needs (civic type r fn2, daily commute, road trips, occasional autocross race), the goodyear wins. Would you agree?
I think you'll be super happy with both! If Auto Crossing the CPC6 was the faster dry tyre for me, but in other tests the Goodyear has been faster
The F1 Asy 5 was £20 a tyre cheaper than the mich ps4for my Abarth 124. I have a Chinese ditch finder at the rear so I am replacing the rear as a pair of Goodyears.
Nice video. I have a asym3 on my car at the moment, they are very nice tyres. Next monday i have a Asym5 tyres, so i cant wait to compare them.
On video i noticed some white markings/lines on wheels/tires. Is it some assembly trick or something else?
Hi, like the video. I'm looking to replace Michelin 4S (235/40R19 96Y XL) on a 2015 Mondoe Titanium X estate 2 litre 180bhp diesel. It came with Continental SP5 and their wear was awfully quick so I switched to Michelins to improve mileage on the Conti's. I am now considering switching to Goodyear F1 Asymm' to maintain as a good driving experience but with better, improved sensible mileage life. I have always had easy mid to high 26,000 distance on previous cars and tyres (best was Ford Cougar Coupe with original Michelin fronts changed at 32,000 and original rears to front at 58,000 which I know is not the norm!) but I struggle to get into the low 20,000 with this cars original Conti's that I then replaced with Mich' 4S that are now wearing out at about 23,000 miles to 2.5mm tread when change. Do you think the new Goodyear Asymmetric will last longer getting to and maybe over 25,000 miles whilst maintaining a very good feel and handling of 4S? Looking to find a tyre life balance of slightly better longevity over performance considering the 4S costs without over reducing the cars road manners and safety. (4S nice tyre but Conti's poor through never lasting, on a previous pitstop I was told I had done well to get over 18,000 miles as they change Conti's a lot sooner in poorer condition than my'n were!)
I'm going to be switching to Goodyear Eagle F1s just as soon as I've scubbed the legal tread off the Michelin runflats, shouldn't be too long
Good Year once again gets my vote
Best video , these tires are awesome 👏
When will the Asymmetric 5 be available in US market? 2020?
i’ve never been more into tyres...
Hi Tyre Review, I’m interested in those rolling resistant tyre example Bridgestone’s EP300 and other brand vs PS4 and premiumcontact6 on dry brake and wet brake. A lot my friends told me that those fuel saving tyre had bad braking distance and dangerous to use for daily drive. Any review on those tyre? Thanks
