Description of Goodyear Eagle Sport 2 195/65 R15 91V summer
The Goodyear Eagle Sport summer tire was originally only offered in the South American market. Sales were so successful that this model began to be offered in many other countries, including Europe and Russia. The tire features features characteristic of the entire “eagle” line, demonstrating sporty honed handling and good grip at high speed. Enlarged contact patch. Compared with the previous model, this tire has a longer service life. This and the improvement of other operational properties is largely due to the increased size of the contact patch. Its area has become larger due to several design features at once. One of them is the optimized shape of the tread profile, which also gave the contact patch a shape close to rectangular. Its area is increased by numerous blocks, most of which are of massive size. All this provides the tire with excellent grip on dry roads, as well as uniform load distribution, which significantly improves handling, making it reliable and predictable in difficult situations. Wide shoulder areas. A significant part of the tread falls on the shoulder zones. They contain wide transverse blocks that perform several functions. First of all, this is to ensure maximum stability when maneuvering and braking. The blocks have lamellas that, on the one hand, improve grip on wet roads, and on the other hand, increase the tread resistance to uneven wear. Main features of the Goodyear Eagle Sport tire: - asymmetric tread with several functional areas; - wide shoulder blocks give stability when maneuvering, reliable grip during longitudinal accelerations; - low risk of aquaplaning at any speed due to wide longitudinal grooves in the center of the tread.
