Goodyear Eagle GS-C EMT 285/40R17 95Z Run Flat (DOT 2012)

The all season compound and the asymmetric, directional tread design allow the tire to ensure a safer dry and wet weather grip. The summer compound effectively prevents heat build-up along the tread area, in high-heat summer conditions. The tread's block placement allows the tire to enhance the number of biting edges gripping the road surface at all times. The circumferential and angled lateral grooves prevent hydroplaning. They disperse water and slush from the footprint, greatly improving the wet weather performing safety.

This technology allows the tire to maintain the ideal tire shape under the weight of the vehicle and its passengers once air pressure leaves the tire. In such instances, the tire can still be driven on. The reinforced structure provides it a limited, temporary performance and the tire can be driven on for 50 miles up to the speed of 50 mph. This ensures that the tire is not stranded on the side of the road in case of a puncture.

This boosts the steering responsiveness and the driving stability. In other words, the tire is faster and more precise in its response to the driver's commands, while the structure is secured against the driving pressure. The wider shoulder area optimizes the cornering and maneuvering ability with the use of extra biting edges. The block pattern enhances the friction generated during braking, reducing the braking distance. This combination ensures the driver's constant control over the vehicle at all times.

The special heat-resistant compound, and the stronger internal structure work together to upgrade the high speed performing ability. The compound avoids heat build-up along the tread area, while the structure keeps the ideal tire shape. This combination ensures the tire's secure high speed capacity.
