I had the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 3 on my Subaru - the dry and wet grip was incredible and they wore very well. I didn’t like the softer sidewall they had, initially it felt they rolled all over the place until I got used to it. Didn’t affect the grip as such but did change the handling feel. Black circles do often have revolving multi-buy deals on them.I bought mt FR used and I've the same on 3 wheels and then a "Triangle" on the OSR, deciding between Dunlop Sport Maxx RT2 or Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 3, currently BlackCircles have a special offer whereby if you buy 4 Sport Maxx RT2's you get £25 off making them rather reasonably priced, although I think I may hold out for the Goodyear's as BlackCircles regularly have offers on various tyres.
Yes when I was trying to test how it would accelerate....or the Bridgestones just have very little grip in some cooler conditions, or the traction control is trying to kill the power to keep the wheels from spinning. Perhaps why nowadays all cars with this power have 225 section and not 205 section tyres.If it was wheelspinning in the dry you have a very heavy right foot.
I used to have 4 Dunlop Blue Respone on my old Mégane and couldn't fault them to be fair, when I swapped it for the FR I think I'd but about 20k (mainly motorway) on them and they still had plenty of tread.
IME of choosing/using new 15" T001's on a different, but similar size/weight saloon car is that they are pretty quiet and an improvementMine came with Bridgestone Turanza T001 and they are excellent for grip in dry and wet but road noise seems quite high. Not sure if that is a fault of the tyres or the car or both.
DOT code is 3917 so they were made in the 39th week of 2017.
Pirelli P Zero on a Cupra, thought they were pretty good tbh, although I still decided to change to Michelin PS4s

on the fairly quiet Dunlop Blue SportResponse tyres I had on it before.
The new 1.2 Leon is running factory Dunlop SportMaxx, which don't seem particularly quiet and the ride is fidgety, so combining the evidence with above would suggest it's the car more than the tyres. That these lower-powered Leons only have simple dead beam rear suspension might reinforce this conclusion, but the fact the factory fitted ridiculous 17" wheels won't have helped.
I think it may be worth pointing out that the latest P Zeros are much better than the earlier ones. This can cause confusion when someone raves about a particular tyre and another says they were the worst tyres they ever had on a car. This of course is down to changing the tyre formula but keeping the same name. If, however, a tyre is improved and the name changed this removes any such confusion.I had P Zero's and changed them to PS4S couple of months ago.
Comparing to regular tires P Zero are very good, low noise and very good grep. But PS4S are just another world (for daily using mostly).
Potenzas. B0llocks in every way. Replaced them with Supersports on my Cupra & the difference is day & night.And how do you rate them for grip and road noise?
The Michelin pilot Sport 4 is not to be confused with the Michelin Pilot Sport 4 S, though. Very different tyres.The latest AutoExpress tyre test ties the Dunlop Sport Maxx RT2 with the Michelin Pilot Sport 4 in 225/45 R17 size, sounds like it's good being about £10 less per corner than the Michelin's on Black Circles.
