Goodyear Eagle F1 Supercar
EMT
 |
The Eagle F1 Supercar EMT is Goodyear’s
self-supporting, run-flat Max Performance Summer radial developed as
Original Equipment for sports cars, (C-6 Corvette equipped with
Chevrolet's Z51 Performance Package and C-6 Corvette Z06), and
performance sedans (Cadillac CTS-V). Eagle F1 Supercar EMT tires
emphasize dry road traction and handling, and feature Goodyear’s
self-supporting Extended Mobility Technology (EMT) to provide
temporary mobility even after a complete loss of air pressure while
eliminating the traditional spare tire and wheel to allow more
storage and luggage space. Like all summer tires, they are not
intended to be driven in snow.
Eagle F1 Supercar EMT tires feature a high-grip Goodyear AAtrax
tread compound (the AAtrax name emphasizing that the Eagle F1
Supercar EMT earns the highest "AA" Uniform Tire Quality Grade wet
traction rating) molded into a slightly reduced tread depth (9/32"
instead of traditional 10/32") asymmetric tread design that combines
large outer shoulder and intermediate tread blocks to increase
initial steering response and cornering stability with a solid
center rib to maintain constant road contact and enhance
straight-line tracking. Wide circumferential grooves and smaller
interior tread and shoulder blocks help water escape from between
the tire and the road to maintain wet traction and hydroplaning
resistance. The tire's structure includes twin, high-tensile steel
belts reinforced with spirally wound Aramid to distribute the
vehicle’s load across the tire’s footprint providing high-speed
durability and uniform ride qualities. Rayon body plies enhance high
temperature and high-speed durability while exterior sidewall rim
flange protectors help guard wheels against curb damage. |
