Goodyear's new Eagle F1 Supersport tyres are one easy way for drivers to get a taste of what Ferraris and Porsches have to offer.Goodyear invited BT to a private test track in Spain , where it fitted high performance cars with Eagle F1 Supersports. The American tyre giant will launch the Supersport family here in the third quarter of this year.Goodyear invited BT to a private test track in Spain, where it fitted high performance cars with Eagle F1 Supersports .

"We've made use of knowledge and experience gained from racing in NASCAR, the World Endurance Championship and touring cars," says Jenner Powell, Goodyear's Asia-Pacific product director."The features you'll find in the Supersport series are really features you'll find in our race tyres, although modified for the street."

Goodyear says its internal tests showed the Supersport tyre produces faster laps than direct equivalents from Michelin's Pilot Sport range, a tyre family well known by driving enthusiasts, thanks in part to the fact that many fast cars come straight from the factory fitted with them. The Supersport range actually consists of three new products.

To back up its claims, Goodyear invited The Business Times to a private test track in Spain, where it fitted a Ferrari 488 GTB with Eagle F1 Supersports and a more track-focused Porsche 911 GT3 RS with Supersport R rubbers, and handed us the keys.
