The Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6 is an ultra-high performance summer tire that is equally effective on dry and wet surfaces. It features an innovative resin rubber compound that greatly enhances the contact surface with the road; it literally sticks to the road, regardless of driving style or terrain or weather conditions (Contact Patch Technology / Dry Stability Plus) without any impact on rolling resistance. The Wet Braking Pro technology, which in addition to the flexible resin contains flexible lamellas, allows for more micro-contacts with the road to improve braking and handling on wet surfaces. The Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6 has been designed to fit most new electric vehicles, and is expected to be standard equipment on new vehicles from 2023. A comfortable, next-generation tire that reassures and appeals.
This technology is based on the tyre’s ability to physically adjust its behaviour according to driving constraints.
- Adjustable contact patch: under normal driving conditions, the contact area remains balanced to preserve comfort and energy efficiency.
- Adaptation during dynamic driving: during hard cornering or rapid changes of direction, the contact patch widens to cope with the increased loads.
- Optimised internal structure: the design of the tyre cavity stabilises this contact area, keeping the maximum amount of rubber in contact despite lateral forces.
This technology, integrated into the Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6 tyre, is based on a specific chemical advancement in the rubber compound.
- New resin system: the compound incorporates an innovative resin directly integrated into the rubber.
- Optimised micro-contact: this formulation improves interaction between the tyre and road surface irregularities, including on damp or wet roads.
- Enhanced braking grip: the increase in grip helps reduce braking distances in rainy conditions.
