The Goodyear Eagle Touring 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.
Sometimes less is more
SoundComfort technology ensures a quieter and more comfortable ride by reducing the noise level inside the car by 50% *.
To hear a noise at different volume levels, click the corresponding icons on the right side of the page. The SoundComfort tires have a built-in sound barrier. This acoustic barrier reduces tire vibration and dampens the internal noise of your vehicle while driving, which reduces in-cab noise in half compared to conventional tires *
What's the bottom line? A quieter, more comfortable ride for you and your passengers.
While driving in a car, there are many factors that affect the noise level: wind, speed, road surface condition, running engine, noises in the structure, as well as tires. One of the main sources of noise in tires is resonance in the air cavity, which occurs due to vibration of the air inside the tire and is transmitted to the vehicle structure.
Goodyear SoundComfort technology directly reduces resonance within the tire air cavity.
The choice is clear
The advantage of SoundComfort technology is that the increased comfort level does not lead to a decrease in performance and other characteristics. These tires have the same warranty as standard tires, the tires can be repaired and the performance is just as good - the only difference is that these tires are ... much quieter.
These tires are produced in winter and summer versions.
Pros
- Clear and precise control.
- Enormous lateral pull.
- Very good acceleration and braking.
Cons
- Arizona is not the best place to test your winter grip.
