No owner ratings of noise for Eagle F1 Asymmetric 5. The owner half is the owners’ average (66): owners’ noise ratings barely follow the road tests, so the tests say nothing about how owners would rate it.

Community members frequently consider the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 3 as an affordable alternative when replacing factory run-flats, praising its handling, low road noise, and strong grip compared to earlier tires. However, sentiment is tempered by criticism of its poor snow capability as a summer tire, complaints about the RunOnFlat variant from performance car owners, and mixed tread wear reports compared to rivals like Michelin.
“Originally Posted By: slacktide_bitog DTD has their memorial day sale, and the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 3 is $132 each, plus $200 in rebates. If you open up a DTD credit card, there is another $100 $50 rebate available (making the total $300 $250 off) I made a slight mistake, sorry But still, $200 or $250 off the set of four tires is a great deal”
“Quote: Originally Posted by Trigger I phoned around a number of local tire shops today for price & availability for the Potenza Sport; Conti Extreme Contact Sport 02, and the Michelin PS4-S, and nobody could see any of them (in the 215/45/17) available across Canada! TireRack delivers to Canada, does it? If I choose one of the Canada post codes as a location then it does show me both 205/45R17 and 215/45R17 available. Quote: Originally Posted by Trigger Another tire that has come across my radar which equals the Michelin PS4-S is the Goodyear Eagle F1 SuperSport… Eagle F1 Asymmetric 3 (F1A3) and Eagle F1 Asymmetric 3R (F1A3R) are available in the U.S. in stock 205/45R17 size. No other Goodyear summer performance tires are offered in Miata sizes in the U.S. Supersport is 19 inch and larger, I think. F1A3 is a competitor to PS4S, I've considered it for my previous Mustang V8, but poor wet performance put me off. Dry performance seems to be fine. I have not tried it myself. F1A3R is essentially a track tire with 100 treadwear. I haven't seen people in person who drove these on a Miata. If my goal was an ultimate grip I'd probably start with more known tire, maybe Bridgestone RE71RS.”
“I've run Conti 5P's on my E63's and they grip well in both wet and dry, last reasonably (circa 13k miles on the rear, a little further on the front, and I change my tyres when they're down to 2.5mm - 3mm of tread), but are a bit noisy. My wife's SLK55 is on 5P's too and the fronts last about 20k, the rears 12k - 13k. Are you running MO-spec tyres or the generic version? This can have a significant effect on life expectancy. FWIW, I'm now running Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 3's on my E63. They grip as well as, if not better than, the 5P's and are noticeably quieter. I've got 11.5k miles on the current set and they still have a good 5mm of tread remaining, so I anticipate that they will run to at least 14k miles.”

Community members generally view the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 5 very positively, frequently praising its wet grip, cold weather performance, and steering feel when compared to rivals like Michelin Pilot Sport 4 and Pirelli P Zero. While some users find them exceptionally quiet, others note moderate road noise or low-speed scrubbing on full lock.
“F1 Asy 5s on my S204. I can confirm they are pretty decent and have coped well with the tarmac-ripping 154hp and 184 lbs-ft torque of the M274 fitted to my wagon”
“I have them fitted in both my cars (Audi A6 and CLK350). Neither had the performance of your AMG but I can confirm they are the best tyres I’ve ever had in terms of grip and feel.”

Every category score blends two independent signals. 60% comes from professional tire tests (braking distances, lap times, noise measurements), each result compared with every other tire in the same test and newer tests counting more. 40% comes from owner reviews found online, adjusted for how generously each site rates. Both use one scale: the average tested tire gets 70, the best 100. When a tire has only one of the two, the missing half is estimated from the other and the score stays closer to average; with no road test and fewer than five owner reviews it gets no score yet.
Handling is the exception: road tests measure it inside the dry and wet scores, so its own row comes from owner ratings only and starts as less important.
