Compare: Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 2 Versus Michelin Pilot Sport 3

[Martin]

I have both of these tyres on my car right now,
I can swap them front to back to do comparisons

The Goodyear Eagle F1's cost me $250 each, the Michelin PS3's cost me $300 each

When approaching the car, the Michelin sidewall shape looks much cooler, more agressive

I've only had the Goodyear F1's for a few weeks
They appear to be a bit more noisy and have very similar overall performance to the Michelins
No real wet experience as yet

I've been driving on the Michelin's for ~10,000km
They are wonderful tyres, great breaking, great grip and great turn in response
They appear to be good in the wet (but not amazing)
Wear looks like 1mm per 10,000km so they may last a long time

Both of these tyres have a stiff sidewall and good rim protection

I'm getting new shocks/springs on Friday and will continue the comparison after that...

I put the Assy 2s on my S3 and the rim protector looked a lot larger than your pic shows - must be a difference in ghow the different rims sit in the tyres.

On my rim the rim protector made the tyres overall look around 15mm wider
