I, too, have the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymetrics.......really a good tire. *NM*

I'm looking at a new 2012 Boxster that has Good Year Eagle F1 tires on it. My previous two Boxsters had Michelin Pilots that were great tires. Anyone have any experience with this model Good Year tire? Thanks for your input.

... once again an official supplier to Porsche.
For 2011 and 2012 the Good Year F1 comes as an N0 and is OEM on the Cayman R, Cayman S, Cayman, Boxster S and Boxster.
UTQG: 240 AA A.
It's less expensive than the Michelin Pilot Sport (PS2) (UTQG: 220 AA A) and the Pirelli PZero (UTQG: 220 AA A) and about the same price as the Bridgestone Potenza RE050A (UTQG: 140 A A).
Should be a good tire.
Happy Boxstering,
Pedro

I can say that after running them for 3 years they are very close to the equivalent of the PS2 tire for:

-Ride quality
-Dry/wet weather traction (actually better than the PS2-amazing in the wet at full tread)
-Noise levels
-Tread life (15K on rears, 20k+ on fronts)

The only downside I can think of is that they will flat spot if you don;t drive them for a few days, but that will clear up as they warm up.

Having said all that, it my understanding they were being replaced with a newer version--with I think a slightly different designation-- which was reportedly on the same level as the new Michelin SS.

using this brand on its Cayennes for a while. I hear -- second hand from the service manager -- good things regarding the tire but how they will fare on the Porsche sports cars I do not know.

Not all sizes are available. The front 17's were available for my car but not the rear.
