Do any of you guys from the uk know anything of this. Just tried to order two front tyres and the suppliers are struggling to get hold of these. They have told me that they have stopped being produced.

Is this right or is it a fob off??

If so what are the replacements.

Ive used F1s for the past 6 years and always found them to be better than any others that i have used before so would like to continue using them.

Interesting. Must be losing money across the pond. Consumer Reports here in the US gives the Goodyear F1 top billing by far.

Yes, i think they probably stopped (Not 100% sure tho), cos i was looking for this tyres in july and couldnt find any for my 172 rear wheels 275/30/19, they still got for the front tho 245/35/19.

And they've got new F1 called "Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric" which rated the no.1 performance tyres by the EVO magazine in issue 110.
Compared with other top brands like Michelin PS2, P-zero, Conti PS2,Dunlop sport Maxx, Bridgestone RE 050......


Hope this would help!!

You could try www.mytyres.co.uk to search for what you want - they may not be able to supply to your location but will give you an idea of what is available across the range.

Used these guys many years ago to supply tyres for my E46 320i and saved myself an absolute fortune.
