By way of sharing info, I have just changed my two front tyres to Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 3 tyres (18 inches).
So far so good. I have only done a hundred or so miles with them, but can confirm they are no noisier than the previous Pirellis. Grip, wear and impact on economy remains to be seen.
I paid £281 fitted via Black circles. I used Black circles for a recent set of XJ-S tyres and have been impressed by their selection, communication and prices.

Re: Which tyres are you using?
A good choice, David at a fair price.
I very much like both Dunlop Mxx and Avon ZZ5. Avons are a tenner a piece cheaper but I`m very pleased with mine on the 350R.
Regret to say I`ve always disliked Pirelli. Noisy and always seemingly prone to understeer when fitted to 16"rims on my old V8 S-type. In the wet as the tires wore, the car would plough straight on in sharp turns. I raelly had to watch that! 19" with Mxx fitted were a totally better kettle of fish.
