Performance Analysis

Goodyear Eagle F1 SuperSport - Official Image

Across 19 summer tests, the Goodyear Eagle F1 SuperSport shows a clear “driver's tyre” profile: repeatedly strong lap-time pace and steering/feel (especially in dry handling, and often in wet handling), with frequent top subjective scores and occasional outright wins/awards (e.g., Tyre Reviews “Track master”). However, results also show growing inconsistency versus newer rivals in key safety metrics (notably wet braking in several newer tests), and a persistent efficiency deficit.

The most consistent weakness is energy efficiency (rolling resistance) where it regularly finishes last or near-last with large percentage gaps. Comfort/noise results vary by test/size, but trend below the best, and newer tests increasingly note the tyre “showing its age,” culminating in some bottom-table overall finishes when wet disciplines carry heavier weighting.
