Goodyear Eagle F1

[Kelpie]

1. Any fan of Eagle F1?

 

2. I read from a web portal on tires that Eagle F1 was ranked after RE01 and PS2 under a Maximum performance category.

Just got the F1 on my wheels today....yet to test it.

[Ccssgm]

Some are from Thailand and Malaysia.......

[Aidan]

Previously experience aquaplaning on my Yokohama ASPEC DB, really scary and switch to Eagle F1, no such experience since.

 

The wet grip is superb, except that it is a bit noisy.

[Aidan]

Wanted the Thai-made but P*h H***g left with German-made, so took it anyway.

[Ccssgm]

German Made....i think is Better than Thai made....

[Aidan]

Yup, but wanted Thai-made bcos it's cheaper.

I'm on Eagle F1 for about 6 months.

 

Never tried other tyres before. But so far I like it. The grip is quite good I feel.

But then again. I'm just a noob. Nothing to compare against.

 

 

Can brothers here advise me...

for this tyre...what is the 'recommended pressure'?

 

Thanks :)

[Aidan]

I usually pump in the morning while the tyres are "cold", thankfully for me Shell is just metres away from my place.

 

Normally pump 230-235 kpa once every 2-3 weeks.

I was on Eagle F1 for almost 11 months, finally dump it today for CSC3 as I couldnt bear the noise anymore and the progressively poor handling. Its good when new but as it passes the 15km mark it start to show its downside.

 

The only very good thing I find for F1 is its wet grip. I could go on the NSH around bending roads at high speeds and it could hold well. I think it is basically made to be a wet tyre.

Rather troublesome for me when come to pumping air to the tyres. I'm using N2 so I can't go to the petrol station to pump air. I have to go to the designated places to get it pump. I'm also considering getting the system that monitor tyres' pressure.

How about you bro? or any other bros on the same tyres.

Pressure?

 

Would like to ask for more opinions too...

 

and hmm...like the bro who replied to me above...

u mean 2-3 weeks supposed to pump again ah?

 

I have never pumped before...erm...maybe i should start...

 

so...

 

1) what is the 'correct pressure'

2) how long to pump up to that pressure again?

 

Thanks!

I think initially u gotta go and check/pump yr tyres more often so u will know how often it loses how much pressure right? if u drive like a beng like me, tyre will lose pressure quicker.

 

I pump every 2 weeks or when I hv nothing to do I go esso n play with their air pump

[Kelpie]

In that case, you should consider N2, as it loses pressure slower than the normal air.

Yup, but wanted Thai-made bcos it's cheaper.

 

Cheap.....Is the quality same or Not ?...

The wet grip is superb, except that it is a bit noisy.

Experienced the same with Yoko Aspec Db and since then, noise is not an issue for me as safety is more important. I switched to Falken FK452 which is a little noisy too. My friend's wrx on eagle F1 experienced some floating above 200kph at NS highway.

[Wham]

Some are from Thailand and Malaysia.......

 

and then there are some from Made in CHINA and INDONESIA too...

[Rtth84]

i'm on thai 15".

 

now only 20,000km already screeches like hell...
