Thumbs up Thumbs up for Goodyear Asymmetrics

Now we have good weather and decent driving conditions I've been able to have some decent blasts around the back roads. These tyres are awesome. They have taken a bit longer to scrub in than the GSD3's I had previously, but after several hundred miles these are brilliant tyres. They have the same slide and grip characteristics of the GSD3's with perhaps even more slide but you still feel very much in control. They feel a bit tuggy over bumpy surfaces, but are very controllable and keep you involved whilst pulling you in the right direction if that makes sense. Great on the motorway and the wet. Other tyres are available and I almost went for the highly recommended Vredestein Ultrac Sessanta, but the Asymmetrics are excellent.

Whats the road noise like? I've had F1's on my previous cars (GSD2's) but am looking at the Asymmetrics next.

Not really noticed the road noise so must be OK.
