3 GOODYEAR EAGLE F1 GS-D3
Country: USA
Average price: 15 120 rub.
Rating (2022): 4.6
This summer tire for fast driving demonstrates excellent handling and vehicle stability on the road. With half the tread wear, the rubber retains a low hydroplaning ability, which allows you to overcome even deep puddles without braking. Rigid sidewall and directional pattern provide high-speed entry into turns without the slightest skid. The tire implements a symbiosis of OneTRED technologies (a design feature of the shoulder area of sports tires) and V-TRED (removal of excess water from the contact patch).
Owners appreciate the performance of Goodyear F1 tires, which allow you to enjoy the speed advantage on the track. Large dimensions, from R16, R17 and above, give the car stability comparable to a railway track - there is not even a hint of a deviation from the trajectory chosen by the driver.
2 GOODYEAR EAGLE SPORT TZ
Country: USA
Average price: RUB 5,412
Rating (2022): 4.8
While affordable, the tires are still premium and designed for sporty driving. Despite only having five sizes in the R16 and R17, the Eagle Sport TZ is very popular with motorists looking for thrills on the road. Possessing the rigidity inherent in all sports tires, the rubber has proven itself to be quite quiet and comfortable on the track. The tread is designed in such a way that even with 50% wear, the grip characteristics of the tire do not deteriorate at all.
In addition, the raw mix is uniquely formulated to increase tire life and provide better tread contact on wet and dry pavement.Reviews are still few, but, nevertheless, there are already. The owners note the good balance of rubber, excellent handling - the steering wheel literally feels the road. On wet pavement, the grip is so confident that it even “spurs” the driver to put more pressure on the accelerator. There is also an edge to protect the rim of the disc.
1 GOODYEAR EAGLE F1 ASYMMETRIC 3
Country: USA
Average price: RUB 11,353
Rating (2022): 5.0
This tire model belongs to the category Ultra High Performance (high-performance tires). They are designed for premium cars, and are adapted to travel at high speeds, while providing a safe driving mode. Prior to its retail introduction, the GoodYear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 3 had the opportunity to shine on the famous racetracks.
This sports tire, designed for summer use, speaks very well of the majority of motorists who have made a choice in its favor. The special ActiveBraking technology, according to which the protector was developed, provides an excellent forced deceleration, increasing the contact patch. The Grip Booster additive also leads to a reduction in braking distance, which gives the tread material the effect of “sticking” to the asphalt. The size range includes 88 varieties of this wonderful tire that can be installed on wheels with such a radius as R17, R18 and above.
The best GoodYear winter tires
Goodyear winter tires are distinguished by high quality workmanship, ease of balancing and good performance parameters, including not only confident grip on the winter road, but also tire resistance to wear, as well as the comfort of some models.
3 GOODYEAR VECTOR 4SEASONS GEN-2
Country: USA
Average price: RUB 9,367
Rating (2022): 4.6
The Goodyear Vector all-season tire was designed and created specifically to meet the wishes of numerous owners of that part of the European continent, where winters are quite mild and with little snow. This tire has the ability to move on snow, ice or bare asphalt with equal confidence. Vector 4seasons Gen-2 boasts 3D sipes, a state of the art innovation that adjusts tread stiffness for better dry contact. For the same purpose, not only the proportion of silica in the rubber composition was increased, but also the SmartTred plasticizer additive was additionally introduced.
Owner reviews commend these Goodyear tires for their ability to prevent hydroplaning. It is noteworthy that the characteristic is maintained for almost the entire life of the tire due to the features of hydrodynamic drainage and tread pattern. It is also noted that stability on icy roads is simply amazing for an all-season tire, despite the absence of spikes.
2 GOODYEAR ULTRA GRIP ICE ARCTIC SUV
Country: USA
Average price: 1 0 134 rub.
Rating (2022): 4.8
Ice Arctic SUV studded tires are designed for use in harsh winter conditions and are designed for both crossovers (SUVs) and conventional cars. The model has 44 size modifications, which start with R15 (the most popular are R16 and up to R20). The tire pattern has an increased depth and is ideal for snow and ice porridge, it can literally “bite” into the road. Despite the hard tread, the tire itself is soft and does not tan in severe frosts.
The studs have a special fit and are directionally oriented in such a way that they help the car to confidently stay on the road with difficult surfaces. Owners praise the GoodYear's handling and stability on winter roads. The reviews have a lot of positive ratings for excellent braking performance. The spikes are reliable, do not fly out when driving on asphalt and do not interfere with maneuvering. When driving fast, there is a slight yaw, but subject to the speed limit (after all, winter!) This does not affect handling.
1 GOODYEAR ULTRA GRIP ICE 2
Country: USA
Average price: RUB 7,216
Rating (2022): 4.9
This Velcro tubeless tire is the most popular tire for city winters. Provides excellent grip, keeps the car securely on ice, does not skid when cornering (at a reasonable speed), runs confidently on rolled snow, without slipping. Due to the peculiarity of the tread pattern and the rather soft sidewall, the Goodyear tire has excellent braking properties that provoke the driver to the summer driving style.
In their reviews, the owners note the high acoustic comfort when driving, which plays an important role in urban operation (the absence of annoying noise increases the driver's concentration). Rubber with sizes R16 - R18 better absorbs the roughness of the winter road, provides good vehicle stability when maneuvering and driving even on packed snow. Traction characteristics are positively evaluated - the car starts off easily and picks up speed under any road conditions, including ice.
GoodYear's best off-road tires
In our country, tires of this category have long been deservedly popular. The high quality of the constituent components and the flawless technological production give the Goodyear brand products an advantage over many other manufacturers.
2 GOODYEAR WRANGLER HP ALL WEATHER
Country: USA
Average price: 9 350 rub.
Rating (2022): 4.8
A unique off-road tire capable of adapting its characteristics to different conditions. This tire feature is provided by SmartTRED technology. The tread is not uniform in its rigidity - there are coarse shoulder blocks (responsible for handling and braking) and a very elastic central part (on slippery surfaces it provides high grip quality). At the same time, the tire is quite comfortable and is the best option for the city and highway. On all tire sizes, a special edge is provided along the edge of the rim, which protects the disc from damage against the curb.
By using the Goodyear tires on this model, owners are more than satisfied with its performance. All-season tire and good grip on any road allows you to ride it all year round.Hydroplaning begins to somehow manifest itself only after 50% wear. The reviews also note the low susceptibility of rubber to punctures and cuts.
1 GOODYEAR WRANGLER DURATRAC
Country: USA
Average price: RUB 11,509
Rating (2022): 4.9
The tire is considered to be an all-weather tire and can be used all year round. However, in our ranking, this model is more positioned as an all-road tire. A rather deep tread pattern ensures confident operation over 60,000 km, but it will be possible to ride it, if necessary, for another 20-30 thousand, depending on the driving style. Despite the frightening, aggressive pattern of the working surface of the wheel, the rubber is very comfortable to use and does not make noise when traveling on asphalt.
There are many positive reviews in the reviews. Owners of the GoodYear Wrangler Duratrac like their cross-country ability - on these tires the car is able to overcome any off-road, and if you lower the tire pressure, then sandy, muddy and other heavy sections of the road will no longer be an obstacle (this is especially true for wheels with sizes R17 - R18 and above) . The sipes provide satisfactory grip on ice, but if the operation takes place in regions with severe winters, it is better to save this rubber for slush.
