The Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric SUV-4X4 is a solid choice for drivers who prioritize wet grip and handling in their ultra-high performance summer tires. With a wet grip score of 9, it outperforms the category average, making it particularly suitable for regions with frequent rain. However, its dry grip score of 8 lags behind the category average of 8.7, which could be a drawback for those who demand the highest dry road performance.
In terms of comfort and noise, the tire meets category expectations, scoring 6 and 6.5 respectively, so it won't disrupt your ride quality compared to other options. The UTQG treadwear rating of 240 suggests a shorter lifespan, and the absence of a treadwear warranty further underscores this point. This could be a significant factor for cost-conscious buyers.
When compared to competitors like the Michelin Pilot Sport 4S, which offers a 30k-mile warranty, the Eagle F1 Asymmetric SUV-4X4 may fall short for those seeking longer tread life. However, for those who need superior wet performance and handling, it remains a competitive option.
Drivers who prioritize dry grip and treadwear warranty should consider the Michelin Pilot Sport 4S instead. But if wet performance is your primary concern, this Goodyear model is worth a look.
