Goodyear 21" Eagle F1 Asymmetric 5s are NFO marked

[smoothound]

FWIW....

Standard fitting for 21" includes the Goodyear F1 Eagle Asymmetric 3 which are obvs. Porsche NFO stamped and approved.

My local tyre supplier is claiming the more up-to-date Asymmetric 5 is also NFO. And are same price.

But I was a bit wary because Porsche can play 'warranty hardball' if there is a drivetrain fault and you have fitted incorrect wheels (e.g. non standard offsets) or non-NFO Tyres. Asked Porsche UK, but I am being passed around with nothing definitive yet.

Anyways, just had a chat with Goodyear tech dept in UK who were very helpful. They confirm (verbally), that the Goodyear Asymmetric 5s are officially stamped NFO - and blessed for the Taycan.

cheers FWIW

And why is it so difficult for Michelin to make NFO tires in 21"

If my Taycan arrives with Goodyear version 3, I might change them right away to the 5’s.
They seem to be a much better tire and I found the older 3’s to be very noisy on the demo Taycan I drove.

My older Goodyear older 3's are down to 2.5 and the dealer said they will be due to be replaced in the near future. 5700 miles on the car!

I just put a pair of 5's on last week. So far so good after a couple hundred miles - a big grip improvement over the all-season Continentals they replaced. To be determined on how long they last however...

I have over 10K miles on these tires. Good grip but much noisier than the 19" Conti's that I was running before.
