Goodyear reveals Eagle F1 SuperSport range
KUALA LUMPUR: Goodyear revealed the new Goodyear Eagle F1 SuperSport range at the Geneva International Motor Show 2019.
A recent press statement said Goodyear Eagle F1 SuperSport, Eagle F1 SuperSport R and Eagle F1 SuperSport RS were available for viewing during the motor show.
“The tyres deploy innovative technologies and compounds that enable significant improvements to braking distances and lap times without neglecting more intangible elements of the driving experience such as feedback during turn-in, under braking and approaching breakaway,” the statement added.
The Eagle F1 SuperSport draws on Goodyear’s racing experience to provide superior grip and handling, with responsive directional changes that are ensured through the stiff tread ribs while a massive closed outside pattern, used on the tyre’s shoulder, provides control during load transfers in corners, according to the statement.
“Although primarily developed for dry conditions, Goodyear has innovatively addressed wet performance through the deployment of a multi- compound combination that sees dryoptimised outer sections paired with three wet- optimised central segments.
“This enables drivers to safely push harder through corners on dry roads while still enjoying an exceptional wet braking and wet handling performance,” the statement added.
In addition, the statement said the Eagle F1 SuperSport R focuses on further increases of grip levels of the tyre as well as steering recision on and off track.
Meanwhile, the Supersport RS variant which is Goodyear’s most race- focused tyre is designed to push the limit on track while remaining road legal, according to the statement.
“A highly specialised racing- originated compound provides ultimate grip and performance levels in dry conditions.”
