Eagle F1 Assimetric

oe 17" Fitted new March 2012 and used until October 2012 (winters on then)

Certainly don't tramline. Straight and sure - Set up at WIM recommended Garage near me in East London (March 2012)

Grip well when going fast round corners/large roundabouts.

I don't find them noisy.
Very healthy response under braking in wet and dry. Haven't measured tread depth since first use; not especially soft tyre.

The basis of this is minimal tramlining. Grip level as per group.

MUST BE VARIFIED BY TWO DIFFERENT MEMBERS

Chris/entwood, if you two are meeting tomorrow I would like to hear your feedback on the Eagle F1. Should be run in by now. 

[SMD]

Good to know  . Looking forward to having mine fitted.

This answers my questions from the other thread.

Michelin Pilot Primacy   225 55 16    OE 16"
30,000 MILES NO TRAMLINING
Replaced pirelli P7000 TERRIBLE TRAMLINING.

[tidla]

My two penny worth.

Nexen 6000 fitted all round. Trip to France thru heavy snow from Uk all the way to the south of France 800mile total.
Following a previous tyre track in the snow on motorways no problem, even when creeping out of the track made by others, getting back on line not a problem.

These tyres are new to me, so my comment really stems from the mondeo driver on 50% worn on  pirelli 6000 s who drove my car as part of the journey . They handled really well and could clearly feel the difference. ( An accountant and not a petrol head)

But this thread is about tyre behaviour through an entire life cycle

Discussing this with TB it seems fair that we should be as accurate as possible in our descriptions of exactly which tyre we are talking about, to enable others to replicate the same results.
So can I ask members, at there earliest convenience, to double check the tyre side wall description for exact size, speed rating, and load rating, and any other numbers that are in the tyre description.

As TB says an example of this would be the sc3 issue I had where generic and Mercedes variants where ok, but the sc3 ao1 where not so good regarding tramlining. Not all sports contact 3 are the same.

Thankyou.

I really don't care less what tyres I have fitted so long as they are the correct size and speed rating and will get me through an MOT. I don't drive like a 20 year old and economy both MPG and tyre price are most important

[albitz]

Me too.Which is why the best tyres for my omega may be the pair of marshalls Im currently winning an auction for with a bid of 99p at the moment.
