Goodyear Eagle F1 Supercar EMT 

The F1 Supercar tire is all about dry performance. Ive managed to squeak out 25k miles on my front tires but I really shouldve replaced them at 18k or so. I drive an 07 Corvette C6 Coupe with the Z51 performance package. Awesome tires, but not looking forward to dropping $1800 a year for new tires. The F1 Supercar tire is very responsive, sticks to dry pavement incredibly well, and inspires driver confidence. The Goodyear Eagle GS-2 comes standard on the C6 without the Z51 performance package.

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.

These were the OEM tire on my Z06. They were also the OEM tire on my previous Corvette Z51. The 8/32 original tread depth is less than most competitors except track only tires and certainly does not help long life. These tires are extremely noisy but the biggest problem is very poor wet weather traction. I felt as if I was diving much too fast at 55 mph during anything less than a light rain. Worse was the possibility of standing water on the road which caused instant hydroplaning. In addition to the very poor wet traction, I was keenly aware that I was driving at 45 to 55 in rain while trucks were whizzing by at 70. My only recourse was to find the first off ramp and park while I waited for the rain to end. If you ever travel where rain is possible, these are not the tires for you! I did get much better tread life than most owners since these cars were rarely driven except for trips and never used on the track. The tires were down to wear strips at 20,000 miles.

Just took these out to VIR this week. Track conditions the second day were very wet, ended up losing traction and slid off into the grassy plains. I was even going at low speed and smooth on the throttle. This was my third HPDE event, first time with the corvette. My prior car a mazdaspeed 3 with RE-11's did very well on a wet track, no issues. Given I'm still in green group (novice) but these tires i lost all confidence! Hydroplaned a few times as well. Do not run these tires on a rainy HPDE day unless your ready for some slip and slide! On the street, very noisy and ride is harsh. Will be looking at replacing these soon with Michelin's!

If the roads are dry and the weather (and street) is warm, then these tires excel in every category except noise level.



However in the wet, if there is any chance of hydroplaning, you almost certainly will hydroplane with these tires. Based on recent experiences, I would go so far as to say these tires are unsafe at any speed greater than 40 MPH if there is enough water out to potentially hydroplane. This characteristic of these tires seems to have become significantly worse as they have worn. They were fair when new, but now at 50% tread they are unequivocally awful in rainy conditions. This is a shame really as they have quite good traction on wet surfaces, but can't move enough water to retain traction in hydroplane-likely conditions.



When these tires and the road surface are cold, traction breaks far easier than expected. There is very little, if any, warning before traction breaks if the tires are cold.



If the tires and road surface are warm (say, over 60F outdoors), these tires are great performers! They could stand to be a bit quieter and smoother perhaps, but as high-performance tires go it's a fair trade-off.



As good as these tires are on dry pavement however, there is no way I would buy them if there is even a small/occasional chance of needing to drive in wet conditions. I will be choosing a different performance tire when they are due for replacement.

These tires give a harsh ride and create an unacceptable amount of road noise that enters the cabin to the point that conversations and listening to the Bose stereo is pointless. Friends seem to be much happier with similar style Michelins which they claim ride a lot nicer and get rid of most of the road noise.

If I hadn't experienced what most of the reviewers had written about these tires, I would believe it was a conspiracy against Goodyear. Wrong. These tires are every bit as bad as all of the reviews say. My experience was just as bad, tread-wear, handling, ride and NOISE. Terrible tire, GM and Goodyear should be ashamed. I never expected 50,000 miles out of these tires that were OEM on my new 2010 GS convertible but 15,000 miles? C'mon man. Actually they were shot at 10,000 miles. The car is a weekend driver and once a week 15 mile round trip to work car. No burn-outs or hard cornering just a stylin ride for fun and sun. I was gonna replace with the Michelin's but rears were unavailable until June from TireRack so I opted for my second choice which was the Continental Extreme Contact, great tires so far. I have a smile on my face again driving this awesome car. Never Goodyear again.

I was able to muster a measley 10,500 miles out of these tires. I'm not looking to have 35,000 mileage, but this is an outrage. I asked the dealer and GM about this. I was told this is standard for this type of vehicle. I am going to switch to the Michelin PS2 and read great reviews. Standard tire on the ZR1 and 911. Don't waste a penny on these tires!

These tires came as oem when I purchased my Vette.
When they were new the tires where awesome, but once you
put some miles on them they showed there true colors...I'm lucky if I get twelve thousand miles out of the set.

I'm also at 9,000 mi. and both the front and rears are shot. I was told by a reliable corvette source that said I would be lucky to get 9,000 mi. out of these tires. I a believer now. Good Year has really stuck it to us. Some of the other reviews said they read Good Year the riot act about these tires and were able to get some money back. Can anyone tell me who they called to get this money back? How can Chevrolet justify selling a 60,000 dollar car with tires that only get 9,000 mi.? What a ripoff.
