The Goodyear Eagle f1 Asymmetric 2 first and foremost ensures short braking distances on wet surfaces, excellent driveability and reduced fuel consumption. Short braking distances are possible thanks to the use of ActiveBraking technology in the tyre's design. This is an excellent solution at times when fractions of a second can make all the difference. Why? This technology guarantees reliable manoeuvrability of the car in any summer conditions. This is due to the increased contact area between the tyre and the road surface. The tyre's performance specifications have been compared with those of rival products. These tests showed that the braking distances of the Goodyear Eagle f1 Asymmetric 2 were 3 metres shorter on wet roads and 2 metres shorter on dry surfaces.
Another characteristic feature of the tyre, in other words its excellent driveability, is primarily due to the use of a silica-enhanced rubber compound, which improves grip on both wet and dry surfaces. Combined with a rigid structure, this compound significantly improves steerability at high speed. The last of the three most characteristic features of the Goodyear Eagle f1 Asymmetric 2, its reduced fuel consumption, is thanks to the use of FuelSaving technology, which is evident in the tyre's lightweight construction. This means that the tyre requires less energy when moving (lower rolling resistance), and the silica-enhanced compound also reduces the heat generated by the model. These factors guarantee lower fuel consumption, making the tyre more environmentally friendly.
The Goodyear Eagle f1 Asymmetric 2 is used as an original part in car models including: Porsche 911, VW Tiguan, Lancia Delta, Opel Insignia and Saab 9.5.
