Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 5 ROF. FEATURES AND BENEFITS: Summer weather traction; Improved controllability; Run flat tire model; Quiet driving experience; . OVERVIEW: The Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 5 ROF (MOExtended) is a performance and high performance, summer tire made for passenger vehicles and SUVs. This model is the original equipment tire of select Mercedes-Benz vehicles.The asymmetric tread pattern and the summer compound work together to boost summer performance. In this manner, this tread pattern maintains road contact in dry and wet conditions, while the summer compound prevents heat build-up in warmer temperatures. At the same time, circumferential grooves actively prevent hydroplaning, by dispersing water from the footprint. These elements guarantee the tire's safe driving in summer conditions.The optimal tread pattern and its close road contact boost controllability. The asymmetric tread pattern maintains continuous road contact, improving steering responsiveness and driving stability. In other words, the steering response time becomes faster and more precise to the driver's commands, while the structure is secured against driving pressure. Wide shoulder blocks firmly grip the road with extra biting edges, for better cornering and maneuvering. This tread pattern also shortens the braking distance, by creating friction while stopping. As a result, the driver has full control over the vehicle.The model's reinforced internal structure improves its performance. This structure maintains the ideal tire shape under the vehicle's weight in case of air pressure loss. The tire can be driven on for 50 miles up to the speed of 50 mph after air pressure leaves the tire, due to a puncture. This prevents the vehicle from being stranded on the side of the road, enabling them to be driven to a nearby location where the tire can be fixed or changed. This limited, temporary performance ensures the tire's safe performance. Run flat tires cannot be mixed with regular tires on the same vehicle, due to their heavier construction.The Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 5 ROF (MOExtended) offers a quiet and comfortable driving experience. The ideal tread pattern and its consistent road contact reduce road and tread noise levels heard in the vehicle's cabin. The footprint channels airwaves through, preventing them from coming into contact with tread elements and generating noise. This tread allows the passengers to enjoy a quiet performance.Manufacturers recommend changing tires every 10 years. As long as tires are properly stored before they are sold, the year of their manufacture will not shorten their service life.
