CSC3 vs Goodyear F1 Assym 2

[Aaronlkl]

Anyone used both b4? Care to share which is better in term of performance? Both tyres priced almost the same.

[Tohto]

I will get the Assym 2.

unless you are comparing with CSC 5.

[Sturtles]

I'm using CSC3 for about 1 week now, and its good.

 

It feels like an all rounded tire.

 

Comfortable, quiet, grippy at bends and hard stops. Only the soft side walls give it more body roll than stiffer tires

Have used F1 A2 for about 6000km. Damn solid tyres. Dry stopping is very good & cuts thru water during rainy season vey well too. But don't expect it to be quiet.

 

Won a few of awards. See here

Before i buy, i did reseach on tyres websites & most users & critics gave thumbs up for this tyres. Go F1 A2!

[Bandie]

have used Assm2 made in germany for almost 5k, no problem, quiet and grippy on my 2 trips to KL

 

 

[Mazda6]

Mine is 225/40/R18

 

I researched a few summer sports performance tyre and eventually narrow down to GY ASY2, CSC3, BS S001, etc

 

To me, a balance between higher range performance, safety & price. I am willing to compromise on noise and comfort.

 

Eventually opted for GY ASY2 coz:

1) New series and improvement from ASY

2) CSC3 is old ver as CSC5 is out but 18" not avail here.

3) GY ASY2 has scored well in many comparison test. Rank among the top 3 mostly.

4) Made in Germany

 

I changed 4pc in March 2012.

 

My opinion:

Noise:

Being new tyre, it's definitely quieter. But expect to get noiser as wear & tear occur.

 

Dry:

Very very slick. Really feel like the tyre is glue to the road.

When you turn & corner, it just sticks to the road confidently in higher speed. (I am not advocating rally driving)

Braking is excellent too as this tyre has ActiveBraking technology. Important for safety.

 

Wet:

No comments as I rather adhere to speed limit especially cornering. My live is more important regardless how excellent the wet holding or aquaplaning ability.

 

Final verdit for now: Worth every cents!

[Aaronlkl]

Thanks for the review. I'm also on 225/40R18. Currently on a set of 70% worn GY F1 Assym 1. Now contemplating btw csc3 and GY F1 Assym 2. How much u pay for it?

225/40/18 CSC5 is out long ago, so maybe you should consider CSC5 over CSC3

I've a budget of $1000 for tyres.

I've used both CSC3 and F1 Assy 1 tho not on the same car so comparison may not be apple-to-apple.

 

Both r quiet and ride comfort good. Steering feel and wet grip on F1s is subjectively better. But the CSC3 seems sibei long lasting. F1s used to last me abt 20k. The CSC3s do abt 28k longkang still looks deep deep wif hardly any deterioration in ride and grip.

 

When it came to a new set of tyres recently, I opted for CSC3s again.

[Beregond]

same feeling.

 

csc3 got 1 big problem with side wall cracking on its low profile size.

Are you sure? Where's the source?

The cracking sidewall was an prominent issue with the older batch of Goodyear Asymmetric tyres, the Asymmetric2 looks to be good so far..

Tks for the review. CSC3 now very good priced. May just go wif csc3.

Huh? CSC3 also hv this prob? I thought only GY F1 Assym 1 has this prob.

Has anyone tried GY directional 5?

Get the F1 Assym 2. Its the top of the range.

[5936]

I wish I could have it.

 

But they dont have it in 225/55R17.

 

Only the D5 have it
