The Goodyear Excellence ROF is a summer tire that’s designed for use on passenger vehicles and has ultra-high-performance capabilities. The tire is designed to deliver strong traction which we will discuss in the Goodyear Excellence ROF review. We will also take a look at some of the features and benefits, pros and cons, and SimpleTire’s views on the tire.

Features and Benefits

Summer tires are designed for use in warmer weather conditions and feature a heat-resistant rubber compound that should not be used in below-freezing temperatures. These tires offer consistent traction and performance in dry or wet weather conditions. Often used in performance vehicles, summer tires are especially good when driven at higher speeds.

The Goodyear Excellence ROF is a self-supporting RunOnFlat (ROF) tire appropriate for sporty vehicles and offers temporary extended mobility in case of puncture or pressure loss. The tire achieves this with the help of incorporated special sidewall reinforcements which support the weight of the vehicle up to 50 miles at speeds up to 50 mph. Here are some of the noteworthy features and benefits of this tire.

• Refined handling: The OE-tuned asymmetric tread design ensures responsive handling and a comfortable touring ride.
• Enhanced traction: The wide circumferential grooves help to evacuate water from beneath the tread.
• Reliable performance: The aggressive shoulder tread blocks help ensure consistent cornering and braking performance.
• Increased grip: The wide lateral grooves boost grip on wet and dry surfaces by forcing the water out of the tread.

The Goodyear Excellence ROF is available in a variety of tire sizes ranging from 16 to 20 inches and comes with a black sidewall.
