The BEST Track Day Tyres for 2024 P3 of 6

The Goodyear Eagle F1 Supersport R (N0) delivered a mixed bag of experiences for drivers. On one hand, the tyre provided exceptional wet braking performance, offering the shortest stopping distances of any tyre tested. However, this seemed to come at the expense of wet handling, where the Supersport R struggled to match the confidence and stability of its competitors. In dry conditions, drivers found the tyre to be responsive and grippy, but noted a slightly less direct steering feel compared to the Michelin and Pirelli offerings. Overall, the Supersport R was praised for its braking performance, but left some drivers wanting more in terms of overall balance and handling finesse.

Performance Analysis

Drawn from 3 tests. Updated November 9, 2025.

The Goodyear Eagle F1 SuperSport R shows a split personality: strong pace and durability on track with occasional standout wet braking, but consistently lags in outright braking and handling versus the best track-day rivals, especially in wet handling and aquaplaning. Its average overall position of 2.7 across three summer tests reflects one win in a Goodyear-only comparison, a mid-pack third in a 2024 GT3 RS track test, and a weak fourth in a demanding 2022 group test.

Overall, the tyre demonstrates good consistency over longer stints and can deliver competitive lap times, yet it repeatedly trails leaders in both dry and wet objective metrics. Wet performance-particularly handling and aquaplaning-emerges as the clearest weakness, while durability/consistency over multiple laps is a relative strength.

Performance Strengths

  • Consistency and Long-Run Track Performance Moderate
    Details
    • 2022 test: noted still good for another ten laps when rivals were about finished
    • 2024 test: Dry Handling Long Run 146.2 s (3/6, +2.6% from best) indicating solid pace retention

  • Wet Braking (situational strength) Minor
    Details
    • 2024 test: Wet Braking 28.2 m (1/5)
    • 2022 test narrative: Michelin and Goodyear on similar lap time behind leaders, indicating not universally poor wet stopping despite other wet deficits
  • Wet braking Strong in 1 of 1 tests
    Details

Performance Weaknesses

  • Wet Weather Performance (handling and aquaplaning) Strong
    Details
