Goodyear Eagle F1 All Season Initial Impressions
A week ago, I replaced my Pirelli runflats with new Goodyear Eagle F1 All Seasons in the stock 205/45/17 size, and I have put about 250 miles on them in dry and wet conditions. Here are some initial impressions:
- Definitely smoother ride than my runflats. No more banging over expansion joints.
- Turn-in is slightly less crisp (maybe less frantic), but once they take a set they hang-on for ever. I have yet to get my stability control to turn on.
- Excellent in wet conditions
- Minimal tire whine
All-in-all an excellent choice for runflat replacements.
I'm carrying a Continental Tire ContiComfortKit, Dynaplugs, a AAA card and a cell phone. Hope I never have to use any of them. May try to pick-up a compact spare for long trips, but since I have the JCW brakes, a flat on the fronts would mean a double tire change.
If you are on the fence about dumping your runflats (as I was) and have the means, just do it.
