Also, why do many of the world's supercars, like the Corvette come with Goodyears?
I can tell you from personal experience that the Goodyear EMT's that come OEM on the C5 Corvette are crap. They're heavy, lack grip and their tread life is about half of similar (non runflat, though) BFG's, Bridgestones or Michelins.
The Eagle F1's seem to be a good tire (the only one I've heard praised in ages, as a matter of fact), as I've heard nothing but praise about them from Z06 owners.
As far a propaganda is concerned, Tire Rack does a pretty decent job of reviewing tires, given that most of their reviews mirror word on the street or personal experiences...
