The Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 3 is generally praised as a highly comfortable, quiet, and well-balanced max-performance summer tire that provides excellent wet and dry traction. Many users note that compared to stiffer rivals like Bridgestone or Michelin, these tires offer a significantly smoother ride and better bump absorption, though some spirited drivers feel the softer sidewalls compromise steering precision and feedback.

Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 3

Two scoring systems, side by side

Owner scores come from reviews found online; road-test scores come from instrumented tests. Where they disagree, it is usually a discipline owners rarely push to the limit.

How scores work
Relative score
0–100. Blends road tests (60%) and owner reviews (40%) category by category, the same way on every TireWheelGuide page. With only one of the two, the missing half is estimated from it, so the score stays closer to average. It needs at least one road test or five owner reviews.
Road tests
0–100 per score, from published tests, newer tests counting more. Each result is compared with every other tire in the same test, so a win against a strong field counts for more. The average tested tire gets 70, the best 100; with only one or two tests a tire stays nearer 70. The discipline rows show % of the best tire in that test.
Owner reviews
0–100 from the owner reviews we found online, adjusted for how generously each site rates and scaled like the road tests: the average tested tire gets 70. With only a few reviews a tire stays near the average.

What owners like and dislike

Themes extracted from 5,812 owner reviews found online.

The Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 3 is generally praised as a highly comfortable, quiet, and well-balanced max-performance summer tire that provides excellent wet and dry traction. Many users note that compared to stiffer rivals like Bridgestone or Michelin, these tires offer a significantly smoother ride and better bump absorption, though some spirited drivers feel the softer sidewalls compromise steering precision and feedback.

Pros

  • Exceptional ride comfort and compliance over bumps
  • Low road noise levels, especially compared to OEM or competitor alternatives
  • Strong wet and dry grip for everyday and spirited driving
  • Good value for money compared to higher-priced premium alternatives
  • Noticeable improvement in ride quality over stiffer tires like Bridgestone Potenzas or older Pirelli setups

Cons

  • Softer sidewalls lead to a somewhat mushy or less precise steering feel when pushed hard
  • Faster-than-expected tread wear reported by aggressive drivers
  • Vulnerability to sidewall damage, bubbles, or punctures from potholes
  • Performance and grip can drop off significantly once tread wears below 4-5mm

Worth knowing

  • Users running larger 19-inch and 20-inch sizes—particularly with BMW run-flat variants (ROF)—appreciated the surprisingly plush ride quality and reduced noise compared to standard run-flats.
  • Drivers of heavy, high-torque sedans and wagons (like BMW 5/6 series and Jaguar XF) noted great stability and balanced handling, though spirited drivers with high-powered hatchbacks occasionally experienced excessive wheel spin or understeer.

What owners are saying

From Reddit, forums and review threads. Not part of the scores above.

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.
