Goodyear  Eagle F1 Supercar EMT

This is a great tire. Designed for this car & it works great. I did have a flat while over 50 miles from home, the run flat technology was a life-saver. Local dealer wouldnt patch it, would order a new one for over $600(!), indep tire shops didnt stock it, and couldnt patch it b/c hole was too big. So, I drove it home and fixed it later. My driving is on twisty roads and open highways. Always hard cornering. Always high grip in dry conditions. My Corvette is a convertible and tire noise is not an issue. I read the negative reviews of this tire with disbelief. Tire life is directly inverse to grip; less life more grip. Very simple. I dont expect to get max mileage out of these tires, I expect great performance. I have complete faith in these tires at 180mph+. 17,500 miles and the fronts are pretty bald, rears still have some life in them. Yes, they are expensive, but you get what you pay for. For other Corvette owners, I dont see how you could forego runflats just to try and save a buck. Youll pay waaay more for the towing bill. Im buying another set and expect to love them just as much.

Great dry weather tire. Cornering grip, responsiveness, and feel is excellent. Great oem tire.

Have these tires on my CTS-V and it seems like they are glued to the road. Ive taken 45 mph curves at 90+ with the lateral G-force meter buried at .99 to determine there limits and they dont seem to have any. I wouldnt try this with anyone else in the car or on a road with anyone else around though! I would have to say they are an excellent all around tire on dry\wet pavement and that the only drawback to them is the tread life as Ill probably get around 12k-15k out of them. With a tread rating of 220 there is really no other competition. Ill have a new set on my V car when the time comes.

Dry weather traction and handing is excellent. Noise on concrete roads is unacceptable. Wet weather traction is poor.



I followed a Ford Explorer on a wet, unfamiliar mountain road in Utah, and I honestly had trouble keeping up with him, as my car's traction control kept intervening to control wheelspin. I know that putting down the power that this car has is a challenge, but these tires are a major disappointment. I can see why Chevrolet has changed to the Michelin tire for the ZR1.



I can hardly wait to wear these tires out and replace them with a non-runflat tire that performs better.

Within only 5,000 miles, these tires became very noisy. Wet weather made them almost useless, with severe hydroplaning. At 13,000 miles they were at 2/32nds and this is normal highway driving. A Corvette Z06 should have tires to match it's power output.

New, the tread depth was 8/32nds. I am glad GM has chosen NOT to put these on any new Corvettes.

My dealer compted me when the first set wore out at 6400 miles. At the time I told my service rep "thanks but what are we going to do at 12,000". He didnt have an answer and I didnt make it to 12,000 miles. What starts as good dry and reasonable wet traction is gone by 4500 to 5000 miles. These tires are pure junk. On a 40 degree day with damp roads the tires are not safe to drive.



Judging from numerical ratings even with the -----ing this survey is overrating this tire (mostly 5 -7). A $350 performance tire should still perform at 5000 miles.



Ricks rating 0

car rides rock hard on uneven roads with alot of tire noise on rough roads. These tires can be skidish on in bumpy corners and slip easily on cold surfaces. Would not buy again because of hard ride, becomes very tiring on long rides on anything less than smooth roads!

These tires are OK. AS EMT tiers the side wall is stiff so they are not as compliant as non EMT tires. So cornering performance suffers. They are extremely noisy. Also because of the stiff side wall and lack of compliance there is probably too much tread squirm and heat buildup and less tread wear. 11000 miles is unacceptable. By a Slime flat repair kit and get non EMT tires.

This is the worst treadwear Ive had on any tire, by far. The characteristic of this tire causes a lot of wheelhop, and a very short lived treadlife. At 6500 miles (6000 are probably highway miles), I have 2/32 tread left and need to get them replaced. They came on my car brand new as OEM equipment. I had to have the tires rotated at only 3500 miles. Everyone who has these tires on the CTS-V complains of the horrible wheelhop they contribute to (when the tires are replaced people notice less wheelhop) and the fact that they wear away like no tomorrow. All this for a tire that retails at $499? Are you kidding me? Worst tire ever, do not buy.

Maybe its the way the CTS-V is designed, but these tires do not last long on this car, not even the average 15,000 for Z-rated tires! Way too expensive to change tires every 8,000 miles. Im buying some BF Goodrich KDWs, half the price and Ill find spare tire equipment and the full size spare to lug around in the back. Way cheaper in the end!

Goodyear recieves a great deal of negative feedback on this tire. Yes its a hard riding tire. Yes it wears out quickly. (In 8K of driving I have about 50% remaining tread). But look at the positive aspects of the F1 run-flat. Steering response is immediate. You receive fair warning from the tires when approaching the limits of adhesion. Highway ride comfort is very good. Add in the comfort and safety of the runflat? I dont want to change a flat or blown out tire by the side of the road -or worse in some unknown part of town at night. Although I dont let my wife drive the car often -I do feel comforted knowing if she gets a flat shes not stranded. At $300 + a tire their not cheap, but many other "performance" tires cost almost as much, get roughly the same mileage -and yet are missing the run-flat ability.



I will buy another set once these are worn out.
