Quite excited to try PS3's, how sad! No complaints about the noise from Goodyears, but I'll be chuffed if the PS3's are quieter.

Interesting, can't say I have noticed too much and I am on my 4th pair of Asymmetrics. However when replacing the faulty cracked ones that I shown you earlier, the newer ones felt so much stiff and precise - I guess of course thats because the others were fooked! May tried the Ultra Sessanta next? Actually Michelin Pilot Sport 3 PS3 seem to get good reviews, any feedback Tony?

Curious, Tony, do you know how long it will take before we see these at retailers? I need some tyres sooner rather than later and would like to buy these; http://www.tyrereviews.co.uk/Article/Goody...c-2-is-here.htm

Serial number! DOT number..... It will be four numbers on their own and only on one sidewall. Yeah, its the same - and they are Goodyears. All things considered thats impressive tyre life.

I presume, when stuck in deep mud, the sidewalls house the ability to generate traction.

Serial number!

These tyres are from the same batch, and even then I'd say 2mm difference is quite a bit! It must be all the right hand corners.

Slightly surprised with this. I fitted two tyres to the rear of my Mondeo at the same time, this was 3 years ago, and have since done around 45,000 miles. Now the passenger side tyre is down to 2mm, but the drivers side is still on 4mm, with both showing even wear throughout. Is the passenger side of the axle under more load, due to roundabouts etc? I prefer to replace tyres in pairs, but it seems a waste if one is still on 4mm. I guess this is a good argument for rotating tyres, if you believe in that sort of thing?

After several days of being messed around I finally have new rubber on the car. The good news is that my alloys weren’t damaged and the car drives much better, the bad news is that I’m £286 lighter and I am still feeling some impurity on full lock. The car rides so much better though, and the steering feels twice as sturdy. In comparison the old tyres were like driving flat, with no sidewall rigidity (they were definitely at fault). Not really had the chance to experiment, but will let you know how they progress. Only thing that concerns me is that maybe it’s the cars fault for damaging the tyres – is that possible?

There is a difference between the opinion of poor feedback, in comparison to audible and physically feedback. I will not drive with these tyres on regardless of which axle they are on. I have spoken with Goodyear and my local tyre garage, they have confirmed everything Tony said concerning returns. Unfortunately no-where local can source winter tyres until next week, and its the same story for Vredestein summer tyres - so I have had to opt for another pair of Asymmetrics. Hopefully these will not go the same way, it will be my 4th pair on the car (the other two pairs have been faultless).

As horrible as it looks i can assure you it is. If you lift the flap no cords will be seen, it's purely a poor join, nevertheless it's deamed as a complaint tyre/s, so i would send them back. The car has been making some funny noises and generating a lot of bad feedback through the steering wheel and chassis, I had booked the car into a garage expecting a bill for new CV joints / gearbox diff / steering components. It turned out to be the tyres all a long. Parked with the wheels on full lock, the inner side wall of the tyre is completely disfigured and does not follow the curvature of the alloy. To put it blunty, these tyres are f****d - this is not a cosmetic issue!

Thank you very much Tony. Will let you know how things progress, but I can tell you this is definately not a cosmetic issue.

Yes I will definately get new tyres, I am not driving until I do. However I now live 100 miles away from the garage where the tyres where bought. I shall phone Goodyear (if I can get through...) and see what they suggest.

Thank you very much for that Tony, though I can assure you the damage is far from cosmetic only. They are making all sorts of funny noises and kickback through the steering wheel, as they disort and flex. So I am to speak with Goodyear, arrange to send them the tyres, and hopefully they'll order the outlet who sold them to refund me a certain percent? Many thanks.

I would have taken the above into consideration, thanks - and yes, there are LOTS of reports about Asymmetric tyres splitting.

Nope! Even 4mm across all of the tyre. If I was the type of person to run them under inflated do you think I would be on WIM?

Not a happy bunny. I have just noticed that both of my Goodyear Eagle F1 Assymmetrics have extensive cracking on the inside. These tyres are 10 months old, have done 10,000 miles and have over 4mm of even tread remaining. Do you think it will be possible for me to claim from Goodyear etc? They MUST be part of a bad batch of tyres as I bought them at the same time from the same tyre garage. Obviously I'm going to get them changed straight away, but can anyone offer advice in getting something out of Goodyear??
