Description
The Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 3 SUV RunOnFlat (ROF/RFT) is a high-performance tire designed for SUVs, offering enhanced grip, handling, and shorter braking distances, especially in wet and dry conditions. It incorporates features like Active Braking Technology and a Grip Booster compound with adhesive resin to maximize grip and reduce stopping distances. The reinforced construction provides a strong yet lightweight design for improved handling and cornering. This tire is also a RunOnFlat (ROF) model, meaning it can continue to operate for a limited distance even with a puncture or loss of air pressure.
Key Features and Benefits:
- Enhanced Grip and Braking:Goodyear’s Grip Booster compound with adhesive resin and Active Braking Technology work together to deliver shorter braking distances on both wet and dry surfaces.
- Improved Handling and Cornering:Reinforced Construction Technology enhances the tire’s strength and rigidity, leading to better handling and cornering performance, according to Goodyear Australia.
- RunOnFlat (ROF/RFT) Technology:This feature allows you to continue driving for a limited distance (e.g., up to 50 miles at 50 mph) even after a puncture, providing added convenience and safety.
- Designed for SUVs:The tire is specifically engineered with the demands of SUVs in mind, offering a balance of performance and durability for these vehicles.
- Fuel Efficiency:The UHP Cool Cushion Layer and Asymmetric Bottom Layer contribute to lower rolling resistance, potentially improving fuel efficiency.
- Durability and Tread Life:Optimized cavity and pattern design contribute to enhanced durability and tread life.
Potential Considerations:
- Noise:Some users have reported that the Eagle F1 Asymmetric 3 can be susceptible to road noise, especially on different road surfaces.
- Price:As a high-performance tire, it may be priced higher than standard all-season or touring tires.
- RunFlat Performance:While RunOnFlat technology offers benefits, it’s important to be aware that the ride quality may be firmer and the tire may have a shorter lifespan compared to non-RunFlat models.
