Goodyear Eagle F1's question

[hock20]

I have goodyear eagle f1 run flats and they ride so HARD! I feel every little bump, is this normal for run flats?

Why do you have run flats? Did you get rid of the spare for weight reasons?
Only vehicles that have their suspensions designed for run flats should probably run them. JMO.

No I still have the spare, how much more weight did I add? I got them for free thats why im running them. What are the negatives of running run flats? Will I damage my suspension with them?

bump, anyone else know anything about these tires?

This is normal. Don't sweat it. Those tires are super hard. I had them on my C5 back about a year ago. They will wear quickly, but th cornering and wet road performance are really good. The sidewalls are extremely stiff (hence the whole idea of "runflat" technology)

So yes, get comfortable with lots of road noise + bumpy ride. If I were you I would sell them suckers and get something else for much, much cheaper and cut a small profit in the process. You have a spare so there is really no need for runflats on our cars.

They are the Goodyear Eagle F1 Supercar EMT's. I just checked and thats what they run on the c6 Z06's. I will see if I can sell them. Should I post on craigslist? How much should I ask?

Edit: posted them on craigslist for $900. They are $380 a piece online, I really hope they sell as I hate the way these ride. For now should I just pull the spare?

[hock20]

bump any ideas? should I just pull my spare out and keep these? How much heavier are they?

Do yourself a favor and get rid of the run flats as soon as you can... The issue with ride quality is that the sidewall in a run flat is about twice as thick as a normal tire, so there is no flex when going over anything other than a flat road.. Not to mention they are ridiculous to mount/dismount and cost about 35% more than a normal tire.. If you want something that rides/looks good, look into Toyo T1R's or Goodyear Eagle F1 All Seasons...

I am trying to sell them but am having no luck so far. I got them for free so im not too worried about keeping them right now. The road noise I get from them is a whooshing sound like wind right where my tires are. Its very annoying, anyone have any ideas?

[hock20]

Ok so no hits on craigslist thus far. I have them posted for $800. I really cant stand them, the car rides insanely hard like I have no suspension! The road noise is also VERY loud, it sounds like wind whooshing. I dont want to pay for tires right now....O well rant over.
