Default Goodyear Tire Question

My wife and I bought a 2000 convertible 6 speed back in April.
The tires are Goodyear Eagle FI, my question is are these tires

Thanks for any and all replies.

The only other lettering adjacent to the F1 is lettering GS.

If anywhere on the sidewall it has big EMT letters, then you have runflats.

If it rides like a 4X4 then it's a Run Flat. EMT is the designation for Run Flat.

High road noise? Steering jumps over bumps on the highway? No traction? If you answered yes then they are run-flats.
