16.07.2019fromMoyo Ford
It has been a pleasant experience so far
04.05.2019fromJay
Really nice tyre, giving a comfortable ride, also has good grip and responsive when driving more actively.
10.12.2018fromNick Skew
When I purchased the car in July 2017 it was fitted with Hankook tyres and they performed well. Previously I had a 2015 TT and for that I purchased a space saver wheel which I transferred to the TTS. I then discovered it wouldn&#39;t fit on the front wheels of the TTS because of the larger brake callipers. So I then had a dilemma as I don&#39;t trust the inflation kits supplied with the car. I therefore went for run flat tyres and the Goodyear F1 Eagles looked a good option (but not cheap!). When the tyres were delivered to Boxley tyres (excellent) they advised that they wouldn&#39;t have ordered run flats for a car like the TTS as they have stiffer side walls. However, to be honest, I haven&#39;t noticed any difference and I can drive with confidence that worst case I can carry on for 50 miles with a flat tyre and have the space saver if necessary which in the event of a rear puncture I can fit or in the case of a front puncture swap a rear wheel to the front. I have driven through some horrendous rain recently and the grip has been good. This car being quattro you don&#39;t slow down for puddles!

The best road tyres I have used. Dry grip -awesome, wet grip - awesome feel/feedback - superb. They make the MPSS look silly, especially in adverse conditions. Can&#39;t recommend them highly enough!!
23.11.2019fromNeil McSwede
These are the best UHP rated tyre available IMO. I&#39;ve used Michelin Pilot Super Sport and Pilot Sport 4 on my M140i and these Goodyear Eagle F1 Super Sport tyres have the beating of them. Fantastic front end grip, progressive rear at limit of adhesion. In the dry the are superb but in the wet they are pretty incredible. Very confidence inspiring meaning you can really push on where with other tyres of this type you&#39;d be backing off. Can&#39;t recommend them highly enough!

A sure grip in all weather / road conditions
30.04.2021fromPaul
Just avoid, unless you live in Finland or something. Driving in WET and Dry, just terrible grip and I have a 4x4 Subaru with LSD. It&#39;s shocking really. Unless you drive really slow, it&#39;s OK then, but come roundabout they just don&#39;t grip doesn&#39;t matter wet or dry. Good in snow, but it should be at least good in wet as well and OK in dry, but It&#39;s crap in both wet and dry, so not good for me, will not buy again.
05.06.2019fromAsh
I didn&#39;t get these on until Feb/Mar when worst of the weather had passed. Driven on main roads &amp; motorways at temps between 3&deg;c and 16&deg;c in mixed weather without problems. Obviously they were less responsive at the higher temps but never felt dangerous. No sign of wear at all. Dry road grip when accelerating lost traction a bit too easily but cornering was predictable.

27.09.2015fromGlenn
By the far the best tyre I've ever had on any car. The grip, particularly in the dry, is outstanding- endless grip really. It gives you such a responsive turn-in, and then the confidence and ability to push for the limit...which you may or may not eventually find. Very safe in the wet too and comfort and noise is excellent. Wear seems reasonable as well. I can't recommend them highly enough. Will only ever be purchasing these again, unless Michelin develop an even better tyre..
17.09.2015fromGordon
I bought these tyres to improve Grip on the previous Dunlops and they have been very good. The wet grip is significantly improved and am very happy with them. They are a bit noisier but ride quality is unchanged. They perform very well under all conditions but can still break away in the wet, but with 510bhp not surprising! They are a big step up in performance from the Dunlops and the Pirelli P0s I have used before. Highly recommend them!
12.09.2015fromChris UK
Great tyre for performance cars!!
31.10.2014fromdavid duro
They are very good. I usually run Bridgestone pzeros.. But feel after driving in them these are better.

Excellent driving experience on these tyres. They feel safe, sturdy and solid on the road in heat, heavy rain, slippery roads due to mud, country roads, uneven and good surfaces, I have not yet tried in snow or ice. To any walkers reading this, they feel like vibram soles for my car!
07.08.2024frompeter andrews
tyres only have well below normal 6.5mm tread from new and mine were worn down to 4.1 mm tread after 400 miles plus one developed a bulge. Worst tyres ever only have perhaps 1 years life

These tyres are good for grip and average for comfort, but let down on noise levels.

Steering and wet road handling improved since replacing the standard tyre fitment.
21.05.2019fromJane
I bought these as they rated well performing across the board. Not top in anything but above everything that was top in at least one area. The wet grip and braking is fantastic. Performed well throughout the cold months but we had no snow this year to test them. On warm dry roads the compound or pattern does not allow for an aggressive driving style but I never intended to keep them on in the summer so this was irrelevant to me. They make a noise like driving through standing water in the wet which is strange at first but I wouldn&#39;t say generally they were any noisier than my Eagle asymmetric 2 that they replaced. Did everything I expected from them and will be re fitting them come the winter.

These are as close to perfect summer tyres that I have come across in more than 50+ years of spirited driving. Wet grip is of great importance, and these tyres are actually AO, which I always purchase, as I understand that grip was paramount in AUDIs requirements. The car is a modified 25th Anniversary model and is fitted with SACHS Race Engineering Coil-Over suspension. The cylinder head has been ported and polished with the motor now producing well over 200 ps.
14.06.2021fromy2kdisease
Car had 20&quot; 245/35r20 runflats in front and 275/30r20 runflats (all MOE) for RWD w213 luxury saloon. The car came with these factory fitted MOE runflat tyres. I&#39;ve Replaced these tyres and wheels at 10600km. I&#39;ve driven 8600km of that mileage. The tyres wore like rubber bands on the 20&quot; wheels. Steering as a result is very precise in both wet and dry. Front 245/30s have sound deadening foam and overall tyre noise is quiet in the cabin (but just wee bit louder than the 18&quot; PS4 tyres I replaced them with). Ride comfort is 8/10 on highways due to air suspension. On chip seal, speed humps, potholed roads ride comfort is 5/10 - there is very abrupt jarring transmitted to cabin due to tyre profile and rims. Wet grip in cold (5&#39;C) and damp country highways was 7/10 at 110km/h speeds - there was some slip noticeable. Dry grip was 8/10 most of the time but with occasional rear traction slips at highway speeds in curves. This combination of tyres and rims is quite poor for a luxury sedan and compliant rides.
06.06.2020fromChris Farnell
These tyres are great. Low road noise, and surprisingly grippy in the wet. Like really grippy

03.03.2025fromDavid Dyson
Mature elderly, x competition experience so not a plodder by any means, retired now so on a budget, these tyres meet that, but excellent performance for the price, also its a must for me that al my tyres are of the same make and compound, went a profile section up from manufactures recommendation, very noticeable increase in grip and handling, only slight negative, possibly due to the excellent torque of my engine ( Turbo Diesel ) and my driving style rather than the tyres, but grip on initial acceleration from stationary even in the dry ( obviously worse in the wet ) definitely not the best, so suspect compound compromise, but nothing serious.
27.05.2021fromfred heath
I like quiet and comfort when driving. These tyres provide that experience as well as a noticeable increase in economy. Being retired I do not have to go out in all weathers but when caught out by the weather these tyres perform well although snow, as might be expected, is a bit of a trial. Despite this I would look for these tires again as they suit my driving style and needs.
13.09.2020fromMarek
Generally... There are no surprises with these tires so far, they work great on wet surfaces, they are quiet, it&#39;s ok. I&#39;m waiting for winter and the first snow.
02.06.2020fromPaul W
Having fitted these tyres all round, they have transformed the car. I used popular well known Japanese brands previously which I had never truly been happy with. I fitted the new tyres and instantly the car felt better, more responsive and considerably smoother. The noise from the tyres was incredibly quiet and I was surprised at how much noise the previous tyres had actually generated. I have also noticed how much better the tyre grips under acceleration and the steering was sharper and more responsive to the touch. There also feels less rolling resistance on the road. I have noticed the tyre pattern looks far better for displacing water and whilst only currently driving in slightly wet conditions, again the feel and response instill a feeling of confidence and safety with good firm grip. Overall I&#39;m greatly impressed with the tyre and would have no hesitation in recommending for performance, grip and safety.

This is the Volvo recommended tyre on this wheel for this car; generally very happy after Goodyear&rsquo;s on previous non sporting V70s.
01.11.2020fromStewart Blake LEISHMAN
This is the second set of the same tyres, and yes they hold the road well. When you have 20 something inch of rubber on the road they can really hold there own. The Which magazine holds Bridgestone to high esteem.
13.10.2020fromBowber
Great tyres, good grip especially in wet, feel safe! Noise isn&rsquo;t too crazy, hopefully get some decent mileage out of them

Much better in the wet than Dunlop tyres that were on the car.
