Stonking price for a Goodyear tyre fully fitted and a lot cheaper than the likes of ATS and Kwik fit.

Good deal for a fully fitted well reviewed tyre.....
Just a word on what to expect from these. About 6 months ago I put 4 of these on my car. Initially I was shocked by how thin the walls were, they felt more like something akin to a bike tyre than a car tyre. They are so thin and have no inherent strength at all. So I had all 4 fitted and the whole ride of the car changed, the car pitched and rolled round corners and roundabouts. It felt really odd and very disconcerting. Its not all bad though, they did handle very well under breaking, especially in the wet.
Then in the space of a week I had 2 punchers, one being massive tear on the side wall and the other in the tread.
I changed them all out for some Cooper Zeon CS6's. Formula 1 will try and sell these for about £65 - £70 fully fitted as they come with a warranty. If you get a puncture they will fix or replace the tyre, its 100% of the price up to 6mm dropping to 20% at 3mm. Formula 1 will also price match on this tyre AND include the warranty, almost. I quoted an internet price of £47, they said they could fit and include the warranty for £55. The handling has dramatically improved and breaking seems to be fine. If you have a tyre replaced under the warranty I think they charge you a fitting charge of £12.
I'm sure plenty of folks will have issues with these tyres and some wont. Its all good. They work for me and aren't to expensive.

Also get ready for them to tell you when you go to get the tyres fitted that they don't actually have the Goodyear Efficient Grips in stock but "they can fit an equivalent brand"

Great price but I had a couple of these and the sidewalls are very soft and unlike any other tyre I've ever come across. I hit a pothole recently and the sidewall punctured... not sure whether another tyre would have suffered the same fate but I won't get these again.

Glad you warned me - I was about to buy 2 of these to replace Uniroyal Rainexperts which have suffered a similar fate (they seemed like a good choice for Glasgow's climate, but turned out to be a bad choice for Glasgow's roads).

My experience is the opposite with these. Absolutely loads of feel for spirited driving, good ratings, I put my confidence in these tyres. Wouldn't go for anything else.

Had the same issue with these, very soft sided. Wife hit a pothole and that was it it was only on the car a few days as well.

Sounds like it's been run under inflated, the running damaging the inner sidewall and the shock of the pothole enough to break through. Look for debris inside the tyre.

They're at Vauxhall's recommended PSI, in fact these tyres always look flat (due to soft sidewalls I think) - I'm not saying they're bad tyres but they've been bad for me and I'm not alone according to reviews (but many tyre reviews are bad, regardless of make/model)
Like I say, good price but for me, any tyre I can poke my finger easily into the sidewall rings alarm bells.

Wife borrowed my car and decided to park by running over the pavement - destroyed the side wall completely, never realised side wall issues until I did some research after this happened last week. The wear on these tyres are great on my vw touran I had done 12k miles and they still had 4mm left but will get stronger side wall tyre next time.

A lot of places will price match & sometimes beat it by 10%. Heat from me.

I love these tyres, great grip cornering etc and I love F1 Autocentres. Just had my MOT done by them and, unlike with Halfords, I passed and don't feel I was being treated like a silly woman who knew nothing about cars.

These are only 91 sidewall rated
Most cars are 93/95 for heavier cars

Heavier cars have different tyre size... 91 is the most common load index in this size
