Goodyear F1 Asymmetric low profile sidewall crack

Re: Goodyear F1 Asymmetric low profile sidewall crack

i believe this defect applies to the older tyres i.e manufacturing year 08 or before.

i assume it is manufacturing defect rather that design flaw huh and new batch of production should be fine.

i find F1 ASY is the most cost effective (i mean cheap la) for its performance compare to PS2, CSC3, Yoko Advan, etc

notice that the cracks r always around the area where goodyear has its active conergrip technology. could it really be a designed flaw?

My 1st batch of Asym had 08 production. This had no issues. My 2nd batch that cracked had '09 production.

Re: Goodyear F1 Asymmetric low profile sidewall crack

Had the same problem as well, my front tires were cracked, 235/35/19.

Goodyear Msia replaced it however, after doing some checking as the tire wear was even (if under inflated, it will show more wear at the tire shoulders) and less than 20% wear rate.

AS for the performance, I would rate this tire highly, as good as the CSC2 and PS2 I had before, for a much lower price. How much are these F1 going for in Singapore, say 265/30/19?

Thanks

2408.

Not too sure if its indeed a common problem or one of those rare defects.

However got it replaced, and so far it's been fine. The rear tires have no problems so far, and I am planning to replace them with F1 again. Anyone has any idea where its the best place to get it in Singapore?

Cheers

I almost wanted to buy a set of these but settled for Yokohama Advan Neova AD08 eventually. AD08 is fantastic!

Am sure these AD08s are great.

How much you got it for?

On a side note - Any one experienced these tyres screeching often during braking ?

screeching would be the result of the brakes. tyres will not screech

Mine's not the metal type sound. It sounds more like the just before an accident type of sound or the drifting kind of sound. Now I have to step on the brakes harder, longer and earlier. But the tyre looks fine though.

bro u stepping very hard is it? will normal braking also cause the screech?

Folks at the VW audi forum also facing the same problem with F1 Asy:

Wondering if this is a Singapore/Malaysia problem or world wide problem ?:furious:

My car so underpowered, theoretically do not need to step hard. But it does produce the "eeiiihhh" sound quite often during braking. Is this typical ?

Re: Goodyear F1 Asymmetric low profile sidewall crack

just read that the infamous sidewall crack continues on the Asymmetric 2. Buyers please think twice before your purchase while users please check your tyres every 5000 km.
