GoodYear Eagle F1. Sensorial Link With The Asphalt

Introducing the F1, tires that GoodYear present in order to satisfy the demanding needs that must be addressed when talking about supercars and sports cars. In addition to an attractive design with a marked ultra high-performance inclination, the F1 tires are suitable for living together 365 days a year, regardless of whether the road is dry and in excellent condition, or wet and therefore insidious. Their special compound derives from the racing department – this explains the reason for its name – and the fact of being able to equip a car asymmetrically between front and rear axle allows an optimal distribution of the driving power and at the same time a better precision through corners.

The all-new Porsche 911 series 992 is fitted with the GoodYear F1 rubber and the choice made in Stuttgart has certainly not been random. During our test between the winding roads of Corsica, we have in fact been able to appreciate how the extra pounds and extra centimeters compared to the previous model are not at all a handicap for the new German sports car, able to move with a surprising agility, at least until you sit behind the wheel and try it first-hand. On both the Carrera S (rear-wheel drive) and Carrera 4 S (all-wheel drive), the action of the tires on the ground is the ultimate link that allows you to throw yourself into a tight bunch of bends with extreme ease and brush clean trajectories, even when the road is not in perfect conditions and many other tires could end up in crisis, to the disadvantage of a dirty and more nervous experience. A tire that is, to say the least, extraordinary and that does not compromise driving pleasure still without penalizing on board comfort. For us they are promoted with flying colors.
