I have decided to replace my tyres on Pumie as the ones on now are looking a bit worse for wear....
Been advised that Goodyears Eagle F1 tyres are very good!
Anyone tried them etc... Please give me your opinions.
Thanks In Advance!

Eagle F1s are very good, always done very well in Autocar tyre tests, but they're also a bit pricey. I'd also highly recommend Toyo Proxes if you can find them cheaper than the goodyears.

They deliver the tyres and fit them at a local centre
I think it worked out at Å“35.40 per tyre fitted etc.....

I make it Å“48.91 for 195/50 R15 V's.....? For the Goodyears, that is.
Still cracking value considering that's the fully fitted price including VAT.

F1s are a good tyre, good grip and wear resistance

Do you have to spam crap in every thread about Eagle F1s ? Sure you had a bad experiance but that happens now ******* get over it
Ive had eagle F1s fitted to my Zetec S and my Racing Puma and find them to be Fantastic, Dry grip is fantastic and wet grip really is something else. No one can belive how hard i can drive my FRP in the wet !
Go for it mate, Great tyres

The forum is about sharing experience.
Just 'cos you've had a good experience with the Goodyears doesn't make your input any more (or less) valid than m8ttes.

In really heavy rain I found the Eagles had a tendency to aquaplaned a little, the Michellins cut through the water so well, you can hardly tell it’s there.

The only thing is that you need to shop around as prices vary enormously - I have been quoted between Å“110 and Å“160 each fitted. Interestingly the cheapest were Fords and a discount tyre company the most expensive...
