Info on Goodyear Eagle F1

[Adam]

Hi guys anyone tried the new hot pick tire Goodyear Eagle F1?.Alot of them saying that the tires are great and currently my car tyres are due for change.Currently my car running in Michelin Pilot Primacy.And I would say its a great set of tires.But price is on the upside but I am ok with it as it is has gd grip and gd life.its lasting on my car till now and my car has run about nearly 53000KM and the tires still do have tread .

So guys do let me know about your opinion about Goodyear Eagle F1 tires.

[coke21]

I used the F1 GSD3s on my previous ride. Really good tires! Good grip while conering and also performs under wet weather. Comfort is good and road noise is at an acceptable range. Just waiting for my stock tires to run iin a bit more before I change to the GSD3s.

Heard the Michelin Pilot is not that grippy. Might be wrong though.

*thumbs up* for Eagle F1s.

Coke honestly I think michelin pilot there R few models.And i would say primacy is gd.But i dont know about other models as 1 point of time they did have bad tires which wear unevenly.

So how much did u pay for those tires?.

Can't objectively say which is better cos 've never tried the Michelin ones. But very satisfied with the GSD3s that I used. How much ah? Hmmm...i've a friend that works for Goodyear so i got a very very very good price. Not nice to reveal here though.

These are the tyres of choice for my next change... :D

Feedback from past users have been good.
But heard downside is tyre noise and fast wear rate. I'm still gonna try them anyway!

I remember seeing 16" on offer at autobacs. I think $150 or something, can't really remember... ;)

[Adam]

Ok coke but if you can help me find out how much are the tires I would appreciate it as I need to change my tire this week if not following week.Like Peter say I am worried for the tire noise and wear rate.As my current tire last me for 53000KM and is still having some tread which is impressive if you ask me.

But I dont know what tires to get I have few choice and 1 is goodyear eagle F1 and another is my current tire which is michelin pilot primacy and last is michelin pilot preceda.

I currently looking for 215/55/16.So help me find out coke and send me a email @ happyracer@hotmail.com.

btw peter how fast is the tire wear rate I mean roughly how fast in KM?

Thanx in advance

Thanks alot coke.Btw is he the dealer of michelin tires?.I would also like to find out the price of that tires.But I dunno whether to try it out on my C5 has it has gd set of tires by OEM i dont know whether to follow OEM o get something even more better like eagle F1 but only worry is that how long does the tire last.

What is your opinion??Coke

[coke21]

No worries. Glad to be of any help. No they jsut carry goodyear tires. Distributor. Not sure about Michelin where to get. Ask ard in the other car forums?

My stocks are Michelins also...french mah...support their own, just like japs. Eventually I'll go back to Goodyear, just depends on when that alll. Done ard 5k on my C4 so kinda a waste to change tyres now...maybe when i hit >10k.

Get the Goodyears lor, think they are a good tyres. No regrets gettign them.

[Adam]

Ok thanks Coke for the advice but how much did your last tire last on your car??I also worried about wear and the road noise wish i can feel both the tires.As our abit more on the conti side cant really go for extreme tires which have lots of noise.

[coke21]

Depends on how hard u drive. I had it for a good 30k and it was still fine...

[Adam]

OK thanx but currently I trying to decide between these tires as primacy is not available I narrow down to Michelin Pilot Preceda ,Pirelli Dragon and Goodyear Eagle F1 GSD 3

I will post another topic as I want Cit members view.

Not too sure about wear rate. But I've had friends who say it that they are due for changing after 30k or so...

[Adam]

Yup Peter the tire shop guy also told me that it will last around 30K to 40K and only michelin last near 50K long.But since there is no primacy than I think of getting the Germany made Eagle F1 priced @ $185 per piece.

What you think?

[peterlee]

Well, I'd personally prefer German rather than Thai rubbers... ::)

[Adam]

Yea I agree with Peter I feel I would be more satisfied buying a German made Rubbers as they are much more durable.I feel that way.My car currently French made and I am satisfied with these rubbers.Basically I feel more satisfied with Europeans... ;D

[Adam]

Coke thanks for the info but that guy charging me quite on the heavy side :(

That company charging me Eagle F1(GERMANY) 215/55/16 @ $220

But near my office at paya ubi.The tyre shop in ubi ind park name I forgot but I will let you know he is charging me Eagle F1 (Germany) @ $185 & (Thai) @ $125

Pirelli Dragon $200.

So I thought of changing with him.So what you guys think about that as I feel and heard that his price is quite on the cheap side for the GERMANY made Eagle F1.

Opinion again guys Pls.

Thanx in Advance

take the thai
1) most worldwide rubber comes from temperate country, germany n japan take rubber from thailand also, u pay for the german labour only

2) huge price diff, save the $ and go for nice meal

3) no proof scientifically german last longer than thai :p
i doubt u drive the bugger till the steel threads show anyway for safety

4) german vs thai, the design still the same right

conclusion : get thai

[Adam]

I will see how has I told th tyre shop guy to reserve for me the germany.,,

I think europe go with europe better ;D ;D Juz kidding anyway thanx.

I rather spend $200 tan to suffer in future so ya.And I want to use the paint marker to mark the F1 in red like pirelli tan it wud be cool.thanx alot furry for e advice..
