Michelin P4AS or Goodyear F1 Eagles - Noise

[chasin2morrow]

Anyone running the Goodyear F1’s? Trying to decide between these and the Michelin P4AS. Quietness would be my priority. TIA

Just my two cents… from my experience with all seasons and your criteria, the toss up should be between the Michelins and the Continentals in that comparison test, but I have no personal experience with the Goodyears

Goodyear (and others) is putting out a better product than Michelin these days. Michelin was THE flagship standard a few years ago... But the other top brands have caught up and surpassed.

If anyone by chance is running the F1 Eagles feedback would be appreciated. Thanks for the response.

I had purchased the goodyears from my local tire shop. After installing they made a ton of noise, almost like a wheel bearing and it drove me nuts. The tire shop tried everything!! Long story short they swapped them for the continentals for the same price.

The only reason I even considered the goodyears was that exact tirerack review. Thankfully my buddy has an account with the tire shop, Im not sure how the whole thing would have turned out if he didn't.

I have experienced the same issue with GoodYears in the past. I have been a Michelins consumer when choosing performance tires but I have noticed the Continentals have really caught my attention and are rated excellent by many owners. Tire Rack is definitely my go to source when choosing between brands since they have on site testing of all their performance tires. I like how quiet and with sure footed traction my Michelins have had but there’s other brands out there to try for sure.

Not on the Nissan Z, but on my BMW Z4 and 130i I had both Michelin and F1's - both had good traction, handling, braking etc, but the F1's are louder. There's no escaping it.

Thanks to all for the input.

I ran Pzero Winters on my 911 and they had good grip without being noisy, but as always, they don’t grip a dry road like a summer tire does, and they give little warning at their limit before they break loose.

Ditched the Bridgestones and went with the Michelins. They are quieter and stickier in the rain and on gravel.

I really bet they let you go into turns without the feeling of the rear end getting loose. I am definitely going back to my Pilot sports once these stock tires are done. I like the stance of your Z did you lower it? Looks phenomenal!

I have the same problem with noise & when the road surface is uneven or worn down I get squirmy feedback in the steering wheel. I think the Yokohama's that came with the car are soft, but gives you excellent handling with road noise. It's a tradeoff.

Thanks, I ditched the Bridgestones at 11K, couldnt wait after wife did a unintential 360 on the way to work. I did lower it with Eibachs, Front dropped 1.2", Rear: 1.1".
