The Goodyear Eagle Touring summer tire is designed for the North American markets.
The performance properties of the model are selected in such a way as to provide maximum comfort during prolonged driving at high speed. In such conditions, it differs in exchange rate stability, fuel efficiency, and low noise.
Summer model Goodyear Eagle Touring belongs to the wear-resistant tires with great performance potential. Its characteristics ensure maximum driving comfort during long journeys. It was developed specifically for road travel. The main distinguishing features of this tire are high directional stability, fuel efficiency, quiet running.
The tread pattern is distinguished by an asymmetrical arrangement of elements. This made it possible to achieve a balance between all the basic driving properties of the tire. Another feature is the presence of a large number of lamellas. Narrow slots, located transversely or at a slight slope, provide directional stability, high tractive effort, and deceleration rate on wet surfaces. Also here it is worth noting the presence of wide drainage grooves.
This model is unique in many ways, as it is optimal for long journeys with maximum comfort!
Design features
The Goodyear Eagle Touring tire features a wide, asymmetrical tread pattern. The height of the blocks is small, which is done to minimize operating noise and rolling resistance. In addition, this configuration guarantees a large grip zone for the wheel when driving in a straight line and when maneuvering. The drainage grooves are small, but there are many of them, so the water from under the wheel is instantly squeezed out at any speed.
The longitudinally positioned elements reduce the risk of aquaplaning to a minimum, even in heavy rain. In the manufacture of the tread part, a special compound is used. It is distinguished by increased thermal conductivity. This significantly reduces rolling resistance and wear. In turn, the presence in the composition of a large number of fine particles of silicon dioxide increases the grip on tires on a wet surface.
The asymmetrical tread pattern of the Eagle Touring features ample drainage grooves and sipes to quickly drain the contact patch even in heavy rain. The rubber compound was selected for fast heat transfer during operation.
Little is known about the Goodyear Eagle Touring in Central European countries, although on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean it "lit up" with several iconic homologations. The audience is not easy, because you have to please both controllability and comfort. The tire copes, which are confirmed by the reviews of the drivers.
Key Features of the Goodyear Eagle Touring Tread:
- The frequent cross-section of the central ribs gives almost a record number of active adhesion faces in the contact patch.
- The combination of longitudinal and lateral half-grooves in the side zones instills confidence when the weather turns bad.
- Low level of noise and vibration due to the optimized structure of the frame and belt, the use of modern materials in their construction;
- The large width of the drainage elements and the increased depth of the tread pattern minimizes the risk of aquaplaning.
A tire of excellent quality, whatever it should be for such a price. Both snow and ice go well, it does not drift into slush and does not slip, in warm weather it also has excellent driving characteristics.
Pros: A well-known brand that was not noticed behind the jambs, Good grip, clear reactions when changing lanes and when cornering, quite soft and quiet, adaptable to weather conditions, fuel economy
Cons: Very high price, Rare option, Sometimes squeals when starting off, there is little noise, rapid wear.
