Quick Verdict
The Goodyear Eagle F1 SuperCar SUV is Goodyear’s highest-tier SUV tyre — applying the same Le Mans-derived compound used in the Eagle F1 SuperSport to the extreme demands of performance SUV hypercars. OEM on the Lamborghini Urus Performante, the Eagle F1 SuperCar SUV is calibrated for vehicles that generate lateral G-forces approaching supercar levels from an SUV platform. At $479, it is more affordable than comparable Pirelli and Michelin supercar SUV alternatives while delivering Goodyear’s ActiveBraking compound in a construction that handles the Lamborghini Urus’s 2,200 kg of weight and 666 Nm of torque.

Performance Profile
Dry performance: The defining characteristic. The Eagle F1 SuperCar SUV’s ActiveBraking compound is calibrated for the extreme loads the Lamborghini Urus Performante and Porsche Cayenne Turbo GT generate — over 1g of lateral acceleration from a 2,200 kg vehicle. The compound remains stable under extreme heat generated by repeated high-speed braking.
Wet safety: EU Label A — exceptional for a compound at this performance tier. Goodyear’s ActiveBraking technology increases compound stiffness proportionally to braking force, maintaining wet grip under the massive braking loads these vehicles generate.
Tread life: Short — high-performance compound wears faster, particularly on heavier vehicles. Expect shorter life than standard SUV tyres.
NZ Road Conditions Assessment
Auckland — hypercar SUV owners: Excellent for the limited number of Lamborghini Urus and Porsche Cayenne Turbo GT owners in NZ. EU Label A wet grip handles Auckland’s rain at the speeds these vehicles travel.
Track use: The Eagle F1 SuperCar SUV’s compound is designed for track day capability from these SUV platforms — Highlands Motorsport Park and Hampton Downs host occasional SUV track experiences where this tyre’s capability matters.
