Replacing Goodyear Eagle F1 GS non EMT tire with Supercar F1

BikerDuude · 07-28-2006, 04:05 PM

Currently have Goodyear Eagle F1 GS (non EMT) tires on rear of my 2000. 275/40ZR18. Replacing with same size Supercars. The tread pattern looks a lot different, are these directional tires?

EDIT:

Further research says: "The Goodyear F1 Supercar tires are not directional but Asymmetric (outside must stay on outside) I wrote to Goodyear and asked before I switched them just to make sure and they recommended the side to side rotation"

Before you do this:
I Had the tires you are going to on my C6 Z51 (OEM). Granted they are great in dry, but really crappy in wet especially as they wear out - which will be quickly. Lasted me 11K miles with no track or hard driving. Ride is quite harsh (as with all runflats). I just replaced them with GY GSD3 Runflats. Ride is much better and they are great in wet driving - dry is almost as good as supercars. Problem is as they are "new" (the runflat version that is) they are pricey - 30% more than the supercars. But they should last longer since the treadwear rating is 280 instead of 200. They also have a lip which covers wheel to protect against curb. I love them so far and because they are EMT they are worth the peace of mind. Check to see if your sizes avail. I have 245/40-18 in Front and 285/35-19 in Rear. But again, they are not cheap.
PS they look great!
Good luck
