Tyres

[Rays1]

Thanks for replies I know what tyre to get it’s just the asymmetric no of the tyre which can range from 1 to 5 I’m not sure of .
The tyre has been punctured deliberately

F1 Asymmetric "3" is simply the name of the tyre type made by Goodyear. Not 1, 2, 4 or 5.
Here is an example of a Michelin tyre, Pilot Sport PS4, PS4S or a PS5, they are all completely different.
You don't actually need to match with the opposite side. But rather daft if you don't. Odd tyre/different tread is not advised. So if only one side needs replacing, then matching them makes a lot of sense. Just ask your tyre dealer to get like for like. Simple.
You could of course go for a different brand or tyre type but here I recommend you replace your tyres as an axle set. ie replace two of the correct size, same brand and type.

Buying a 2020 st line x fist edition plus , so 19” tyres and 7k on clock . It’s got good year eagles on , is Goodyears fitted as standard from new . Got a focus and it’s got continental tyres thought the puma would have the same

I had optional 19” wheels on my 2020 ST Line X and that came with Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 3

Really? The asymmetric 3 is an old tyre, especially for 2020. Was superseded by the 5 and now the 6 which imho is the brilliant tyre.

Anyone put All Season tyres on?
Just wondering if the stiffer tyre walls would affect handling or noise levels?
I wasn’t impressed with the grip of the standard fitted tyres during the winter and sometimes on pulling away on wet roads it’s a bit iffy on grip

Everyone SHOULD put All Season tyres on. TBH it's a disgrace that in this country it's not mandated by law.
Our winters are cold enough that everywhere in the country there are temps below 5 deg when summer tyres lose efficiency, and just about everywhere will see some ice or snow each winter.
So unless you are committed to NEVER taking your car out when there is any chance of there being white stuff then you should not be running summer tyres.

People die every year because of running summer tyres in the wrong conditions.

Oh dear...Thought we had done with this.....Once again, not seen any snow this year and maybe two days (if that) below 5C. Not had any grip problems anywhere including 3 500 milers. Not seen any cars skidding off the roads or seen any reports of accidents due to cold weather conditions.
My tyres have served me well in the many prevailing rain storms I've had to drive through.
The evangelistic approach that every car everywhere in the UK must endure the extra expense of having two sets of tyres when they are not needed is ridiculous.
Each should make their own judgment dependent on the conditions where they live.
I'm not telling you that you shouldn't use them so I don't need telling I should, thanks.

Who said everyone needs two pairs of tyres? Not me.
I am suggesting that EVERYONE should, when it comes to replacement, use All Season tyres. The only tyres suitable for ALL SEASONS (clue is in the name).

As a country that regularly DOES experience snow & ice (whether you care to acknowledge it or not), all season tyres ought to be factory fit and summer tyres really should be specialist tyres only for those that have classic cars or similar which never go out between October & March.

If you choose not to fit all season tyres when the time comes for replacements, or you do not swap to winter tyres, then you absolutely should never venture out of the house if there is any risk of snowfall or ice - as you will be driving a killing machine with completely inappropriate rubber fitted. Argue all you like, that is a simple fact. And people DO die every year because of cars driving in conditions inappropriate for the tyres fitted, That is also a fact.

I think it's a disgrace that they still make black cars, do they know just how hard they are to keep clean! Nobody should buy a black car and that's why everyone should have a red car . So there!

Nurse will be along soon to tuck you in and administer the meds...

I haven't replaced a set of tyres in 10 years, never had to.
You really should stop telling people what they should and shouldn't do.
You probably won't be happy until they re-introduce the man with the red flag.
