Fitment comes from each tyre's manufactured size list, and the sizes are the ones drivers reported when they reviewed. Check the size, load index and speed rating on your own doorplate before buying - a size a previous owner ran is not always the size your car left the factory on.

Goodyear Eagle F1 SuperSport 235-35-19 SEAT Cupra R 6,000 miles June 18, 2025
I have Seat Leon Cupra R 265hp from factory + mods (I don't know how much hp right now). I have them for over 6000 miles, and I think I can leave good review now. First of all, when you are buying Tyre, you need to be sure that you are buying correct Tyre for your car!! This step is very very important! Some of them have symbol for BMW, some of them for VW some for Audi etc. Correct symbol for your car you can find in GoodYear web site! They are not the same tires even they look the same and only one symbol is different. That can have big impact on your performance in you buy wrong brand tire. On dry I'm sure that this is the best UUHP tyre. Reasons for that are few. First GoodYear Super Sport has better heat resistance from PS4S or Continental Sport Contact 7. This tyre can hold much more punishment without losing performance or feedback. PS4S or SC7 overheat much faster and they start to lose performance a lot. Also wear as soon as you overheat PS4S or SC7 is terrible side walls cries especially. GoodYear did much better job here as well. GoodYear has much better side walls and that's very important if you are going on track or some roads where you have rocks on the ground. They are stronger, also they have rim protection as well. On Dry GoodYear simply has the edge, feedback, performance are simply on highest level for UUHP tyres. On wet is different story, SC7 is much better but don't worry it's not like on Ice, SC7 is just better in wet even GoodYear is good in wet as well. Braking: I think SC7 is better here but only until tyre starts to overheat. Overheated tyre and braking into corner are not for SC7 or PS4S. It will kill them, GoodYear overall is better here as well. On other Side Comfort is a bit better for PS4S just a bit, but the best on SC7. Noise completely the same situation. Now Wear: This is UUHP tyre, I hate when people buy them and except from sticky tyre to last over 50-60k miles. This tyres are for performance not for long milage, but if you drive in regular daily conditions, faster to make some fun on open road on weekends you can except like 30-50k miles for sure without burnouts or similar. Everything depends on how hard you drive. Conclusions: If you want best performance, feedback and that performance last GoodYear is simply the best. This is the sportiest UUHP tyre you can buy. If you are more on comfort side but you need performance, go for PS4S. SC7 is the best if you have more rainy days like in UK for example. If you live in very hot area, go for GoodYear. Also, GoodYear produced in Germany is much better class then in some other factories in Balkan or similar. Be careful where do you buy tires as well.

I put on my seat leon cupra r and they scared everything out of me. Dry is ok but wet i so dangerous that I even thought I will hit the wall once even I was not going too fast in corner like 50-60km/h. Dangerous in rain and not recomended. Will not buy again.
