Hi..
Anyone experience with Goodyear Eagle F1 Sport?.. good?
tq

this should be the new tyre to replace the existing F1 Directional 5
relatively new tyre, still pending review

Officially launched in Malaysia back in December 2020, the F1 Sport sits right at the bottom of Goodyear's Eagle F1 series tires - perhaps a move by Goodyear to capture the budget/economy UHP market.

In terms of price, F1 Sports is the cheapest, followed by F1 Asymetric 5 and then F1 SuperSports. However F1 Sports is only available for 16-18 inch wheels for now.

Not much reviews available online for this tire due to the limited availability. Currently only available in our region - Malaysia Thailand & Australia. It's not available in US/Europe where tire reviews/testing are more prevalent.
Would like to hear comments from local owners on this tires tho.

My car have been using stock size tyres similar to yours, 205/45r17. Changed from Contisportcontact 5 to Continental MC6 in Sept 2019 and to Goodyear Eagle F1 sport in Sept 2020. Reason for the change from MC6 to Eagle F1 sport is due to a sidewall bulge in one of the tyre, likely bad road surface and potholes. In summary, I would rate the tyres in the following order (better to worst):
Handling in general - MC6 > CSC5 > EF1S
Comfort - EF1S > MC6 > CSC5
Noise at <80km/h - EF1S > MC6 > CSC5
Noise at >80km/h - EF1S = MC6 > CSC5
Rolling resistance - EF1S > MC6 = CSC5

I can't comment much on braking, as I havent done any E-brake. But felt EF1S need to start braking slightly earlier, compared to MC6/CSC5. Braking confident is slightly better in MC6.

Immediate feel of the tyre is that EF1S is a lot more comfortable (felt rounded when run over uneven surface) and less noisy at low speed. I will give MC6 the edge for confidence at higher speed cornering. Also, I notice the fuel consumption has been alot lower on the EF1S (12 to 14km/L) compared to MC6 (9 to 10 km/L).

Cheers.

Very surprising to see mc6 trumps csc5 in handling
Mind to share more details

Handling is subjective which depends on type of car and need a pro driver to really give a correct representation of handling. Thus, I mentioned 'handling in general', which in context of driving over progressive bends (usually at highway entries/exits) at speed between 50-60 km/h. My car (engine: NA, less than 100hp/135nm) fitted with mc6 is able to take this corner confidently, close to 60 km/h, and still able to point sharply. CSC5 felt 'loose' and I will ease the throttle a little to 50km/h or lower. This difference is really depends on the type of car and driver's confidence. This thread is for the Goodyear Eagle f1 sport.

For more scenarios, do gather more information of the mc6 and CSC5 from https://www.tyrereviews.com/Tyre/Continental/

Which one is better overall? EF1S or MC6. I plan to switch my current 4-year-old MC5 tyres to EF1S. I wanted to go for Michelin PS4 but I can't afford it.

Since you mentioned better overall, I would assume you daily your vehicle and not spirited driving. For daily vehicle, I would emphasize on low rolling resistance and comfort oriented tyres, which is the eagle F1S. The 6months assurance by goodyear is an added value, should anything happened to the tyres.

Conti UC6/MICHELIN PRIMACY 4 /GOODYEAR F1 SPORT
which 1 is the best?
UC6 same price as Primacy 4 RM325
F1 SPORT RM250.
205/55/16.

UC6 and Primacy 4 are comfort touring tires and just 1 category higher than their respective economic low end models (Cc6 and XM2). F1S on the other hand is already in the UHP category which is another step up. If the F1S is that much cheaper then it's surely a much superior value for money.

I agreed with you, i just worry the noise level for F1S.

Next change for 215 55 17 might consider this GY F1 Sport (to replace current Primacy 3)
But difference is RM390 for GY F1S vs RM407 for Primacy 4 If compare PS4 is RM470

Looks like this new F1S will be the new king of value for money replacing the Hankook V12E2. Just unfortunately it's not available in 15'.

Nice. How is this tyre compared to PS4?

Rm255 per piece, size 195/50/16 at ban hooi kapar klang. Replacing stock toyo r50 on yaris, this F1s is noticably noisier, but it is expected from uhp tire. Threadwear stated 300, traction AA, temperature A.

Anyone knows what's the price for F1S 235/45/17? Love to go back to F1 if price is right now running Nexen SU1

Guys..

Anymore feedback with this tyre..?

Thanks

Tire sidewall has thick rim protection. If u are into meatier or beefier tire setup it will be good choice

Saw it at fren shop, made in tiongkok

anyone know the different between sport and asymmetric and which one more expensive. thanks

Asymmetric 5 > F1 Sport. Performance and price is higher.

Thanks for replied guys...yea..made in china...

Anyone made comparison with PS4 before or user of PS4 pls chip in if u change to this F1 Sport...

Thanks

Any idea how does it fare with Asymmetric 3..?

Anyone know what's the ballpark price for this tyre with 205/45R16 size?

waiting for more review, been using F1 A2 and replaced them with Excellence due to budget, the time F1 Sport not yet launched

off topic, I'm actually quite surprised how good Excellence is, acceptable handling & feedback but a lot better in quietness & comfort compared with F1 A2

F1 A3 is replaced by F1 A5, should be above F1 Sport

Any reviews? F1S

This morning, I installed 4 brand new Eagle F1 Sport. It is too early for me to provide a detailed review of the ride and handling. After 30 minutes of driving, my first impression was of the tyres' quietness. I'm in love with it and it's much better than my previous MC5.

interesting, was deciding on GY Efficient Grip or GY F1 Sport

my old GY F1 A2 was also quiet when new, but super noisy once the tread is below 70%

Really? Wow... I'm really surprised to be honest since one of my car is fitted with CSC5.

BTW are you driving a Kia Rio? I think only Rio came with 17inch stock CSC5. My tires are almost 10 years. Thinking to change but really limited choice for 205/45/17. PS4 cost over RM410. Wont choose Primacy because my company car is fitted with Primacy 3 and the braking performance is not as good. Surveying Hankook, GY, Yokohama as well. Maybe will downgrade because although CSC5 is really good, comfort wise is really poor. Car rattling like hell going over bad roads.

Hi bro, any update for eagle f1 sport? I'm planning to get this tyres. Looking forward for your reply

Found on LzD $388 per pc for F1S 225/45/17, anyone knows any cheaper price in KV for your? To replace awesome Giti Control 280 which is no longer on production.

Also kindly confirm F1S treadwear is 300?

Well, I think it is dependent on the individual's driving style. I mostly drive in the city in normal driving conditions (occasionally a bit aggressive). So far so good, quite comfy, handling and braking performance above my expectations. The sad thing is that I didn't get a chance to test in wet conditions because there hasn't been much rain lately. The main reason I chose F1S was because of its relatively low price for UHP tyres (entry level). It costs RM 1500 for 4 pcs of 215/50R17, including alignment and balancing. However, the tyres are still new, we will see how they perform after a certain amount of mileage (10Kkm, 20Kkm). I can assure you that I have no regrets for picking F1S.

Yes indeed fitted on the Kia Rio. Comfort and rattling does reduce alot, with comfort F1S>MC6>CSC5, especially over those pot holes due to the car's stiff suspension/low profile tyre, given me jarring feel. F1S doesn't give me the jarring feel any more, at the expense of handling, braking is good but not as grippy as CSC5. The new Toyo CR1 seems to be another good option for comfort by looking at its thread. I'm all for comfort

Actually the newer Primacy 4 already improve the braking performance and now mostly dominated the top range.
They market it not only new but also when wear the braking distance also better compare to competitors.
The only weakness is hydro or aquaplaning is not that great, but others like wet & dry braking is on the top 1 nowadays.

How's this F1 Sport vs EfficientGrip Performance on grip, quietness and wet?

Hello, those who have installed F1S, how is it so far?

currently clocking 30k km, based on treadwear it might used up to 45-50k km
1st 25k km has excellence dry and wet handling
starting to feel degraded performance only on water ponding road, somehow wet handling still fine

tyre size: 205/55R16

highly recommended for its price and performance

How bout road noise? Considering this between the Toyo CR1

Toyo CR1 just normal touring tires, Goodyear F1 is UHP tires.
Totally 2 different category tires, if you want only comfort & silent tires would be better to stick with CR1 with lower cost.
If want performance like great handling & cornering features then go for the F1 series.

Just fitted 4pc F1S , will review after clocking some miles with it.

Now I'm using MC5 worry Toyo CR1 handling too big difference

What's your previous tyre? F1S you feel quiet?

FYI, MC5 is similar to CR1 category, both also normal touring tires, the difference wont be too much except for MC6 which is upgraded to UHP tires.

Are there anymore F1S tire owners who can share their personal reviews on this tire? Wet, dry performance, handling and quietness? Very little experience sharing on this thread.

Anyone can help gv some advice between Toyo proxes sport and F1S. Seem like both price are close

I am using mc5 (215 50 r17), but considering F1S, Re003 and MC6.
All also 400++ per tyre, any advice ?

any reply or review for this? looking for the same for my civic FC

Mc6 is decent.
Re003 not so good, rather skittish in the wet.
F1S never tried yet but I'd think should be pretty decent judging by previous F1D5 that it replaces. I think it could be a better value than Mc6.

Bro just wondering its F1S replacing F1D5?

Yes it is.

Just installed F1S 3weeks back.

Coming from MC5, I feel this tire much better in wet road. Easier to moneuver.

Size 215/50/17

Price didn’t change much Rm395 each. If compare Michelin Primacy 4, Rm100 increase each tire since last year.

Installed 3 weeks back.

Impression and opinion after 2k km millage. Upgraded from Dunlop D06
1. Fun to drive tyre type. Traction is good.
2. Leaning towards premium touring rather than UHP category. Traction rated AA but I think on malaysia road I personally rate it as A only.
3. Wet grip wise - Michelin PS series is miles ahead, XM2 is slightly better. However, fares better than the crappy Toyo proxess series and conti UC series. Noticeable better grip than Dunlop D06
4. Dry grip wise - No comment as I am not speed demon.
5. Overall it is a better buy than the pricy XM2+ although the treadlife 300 vs XM2+ of 420.

Surprisingly save more fuel compared to Dunlop D06. However Ecopia EP series is still the king of low rolling resistance tires.

However it is still new, I'll be back to comment after usgae of 20k and 40k km millage
