The uk supplier might not have got them from Goodyear, especially if Goodyear's prices were a bit expensive.
Not saying that's what happened, but a possibility?

They are probably grey imports which Goodyear will have no control over.
update
new tyres fitted and i am happy, the tyre place was very very sorry ( bit ive a feeling that they knew what they were selling) and changed all the tyres for the china ones so will see how these perform and let you guys know
the china F1 tyres are fantastic both in the dry and the wet well pleased
Just fitted my second front set of F1s (made in Germany) yesterday, the ones that look like this: -
Price has gone up to £100 each for 215/55/16 but I wouldn't buy anything else, as long as these remain available.
Great boots!
i thought they were being phased out this type
Hi guys, after spending a sleepless night worrying if the local tyre dealer is going to try to mess me about with the wrong country tyres, I emailed Goodyear so I would have some ammunition to throw back at the dealer
As the tyres Im now aving are the asymmetric type, it DOESNT make any difference where there made.........BUT
if there made like you already now, In THAILAND, then they are NOT for the UK roads
here is the email Ive just received from Good Year
Thank you for your email,
I assume you refer to the pattern Eagle F1 GSD3
In size 225 45 r 17 the F1 GSD3 is now replaced in the UK by the F1 Asymmetric. When the 225 45 r 17 F1 GSD3 was marketed, Goodyear UK only recommended purchase of 225 45 r 17 F1 GSD3 that were either made in Germany or China.
