I have finally got my new set of F1 Asymmetric on my E60. I used to have Michelin PS-2 tyres.
At first the difference was not so clear cut driving only to work and back home. But after the Genting trip, the differences became clearer.
It seem quieter and more supple on the road. The softness feel may put off some drivers who love to corner hard. But these tyres defy that old theory where hard tyres often equates better cornering power. In fact, I found cornering to be on par as the Michelin PS-2 every time.
The surprise for me was coming back home when it was raining. I feel the Goodyear F1 Asymmetric (made in Germany) to be better than my former tyres. There was always that glued feeling. Please note that my former PS-2 was not even bald yet when I replaced them. I think I ran them for about 7000km only.
The drive is now noticeably comfortable than before and I am just guessing here that Michelin PS-3 may just be round the corner. No regrets. No wonder TireRack rated it very highly.
