The Goodyear Eagle Sport 2 SUV summer tire is designed for the most dynamic versions of modern crossovers and SUVs. Its key feature is increased efficiency at high speeds, stability and precision in cornering, and intense braking on wet surfaces.
Tread Pattern Differences
The characteristics of this tire are largely provided by the design of its tread pattern. It is distinguished by hypertrophied shoulder zones, occupying more than half of the tread area. The blocks that make up these zones have excellent resistance to deformation, which is why the tire demonstrates excellent stability and intense braking on wet surfaces, as well as directional stability and lightning-fast reactions to driver actions, making the vehicle easier to handle.
Resistance to Aquaplaning
Another important advantage of the tire is its resistance to aquaplaning even at significant mileage. This is due to the presence of four wide longitudinal grooves in the central part and numerous drainage elements in the shoulder zones. In addition, the grooves have a special shape that further reduces the risk of a continuous water film forming between the tire and the road surface. It is also worth noting the use of an optimized compound. It is characterized by increased elasticity at low temperatures, which allows the tire tread to more closely hug the smallest irregularities on the road surface, increasing traction with it.
Key Features of Goodyear Eagle Sport 2 SUV
- enlarged shoulder blocks with massive blocks increase handling comfort due to the lightning-fast reaction of the tire to driver actions, along with improved wear resistance of the entire tread;
- a developed system of drainage elements and their increased volume allows the tire to avoid aquaplaning even at significant mileage;
- an improved rubber compound, which, due to increased elasticity, enhances traction properties on wet surfaces, allowing the tread to more closely hug the road surface.
