One of the best available
Installed on Mercedes-Benz E250
Took out the stock RFT Michelin Primacy 3 2 weeks after collections a year ago due to noise. Changed to yoko V552, it's quiet but uncomfortable due to soft side walls. Replaced with newly launched BS T005A which is quiet, better comfort than V552 but poor grip and soft side walls. Tried GY F1 A5 which just arrived with my size and surprisingly it's offers good grip (car like glued on the road), comfortable over bumpy roads/humps and proven on wet. Slightly noisier than T005a but think it's a best choice I've made so far. Durability wise no comments as my main concerns is noise level and grip. Running on 245/40/19 front and 275/35/19 rear.
What I like
Affordability ($1080 for something made in Europe)
Good dry/wet grip
Comfortable/Low noise
Rim protector
What I do not like
Slightly noisier but low noise considering a UHP tyre

Well balanced tyres with low road noise
Installed on Audi A4
Had been using the F1A3 for the past 2 years and recently changed to the F1A5. Not only the tyres are quieter and i can feel the wet grip to be better than the predecessor. Pricing is also a plus point as it is much more competitive comparing to other tyres of the same caliber.
What I like
- Pricing
- Low road noise
- Balanced wet and dry grip
- Comfort

Best bang for the dollar with superior performance at affordable price
Installed on Volkswagen Golf
This is probably the best, if not one of the best street-legal tires at this price point.
What I like
Good grip in dry and wet condition. good price point and value for money proposition, where else , the competitor is asking for 40% more for what appears to be similar level of performance and yet does not function as good.
What I do not like
Not available for some sizes and stock status sometimes varies.

An excellent all rounder
Installed on Toyota Corolla
I had this tire for 50,000km, and has travelled up north numerous times. This tire can be characterised as comfortable, fuel saving, and predictable in all kinds of road condition here in Singapore. It is a very good all rounder, but not excellent in any area. I will recommend this if anyone is looking for a very good tire for good price.
What I like
Quiet
Grippy for up to 50k km
Didnt experienced a single puncture or damage
Lasting
What I do not like
After 50k km, the noise level is bad.
If the side wall is harder, it will be better for cornering, but less for comfort.

Impressive all-rounder tyre at an affordable price
Installed on Volkswagen Jetta
Changed to a set of Goodyear F1 Asymmetric 5 tyres from LSTA recently. The price is very competitive as compared with its rival such as the Michelin PS4, which was also the previous set of tyres that I was using. Having used the F1 Asymmetric 3 some time back, I had my reservation on the Goodyear tyres initially as I find the F1A3's sidewall too soft for my liking. However, I go ahead with the F1 Asymmetric 5 due to the good reviews online.
What I like
- Rim protector
- Quiet
- Cushion road imperfection well
- very low rolling resistance; good FC
- Competitive pricing
What I do not like
none so far

Best Value For Bucks Tyres
Installed on Mazda 6
Deliver great performance on wet and dry road condition. Give me better handling especially when taking a corner. Other than the affordable price, another important feature that impresses me is the comfort level.
What I like
Good Grip
Quietness for a performance tyre
Affordable Price Point
What I do not like
Will be better is the quietness level can be on par with all other comfort tyres.
