Eagle F1 Asymmetric 2

3 meters shorter braking distance on wet roads*
100% better prepared for the unexpected

We know that on the road a split second can mean the difference between an unfortunate accident and a lucky escape. Goodyear’s new Eagle F1 Asymmetric 2 tire features our latest ActiveBraking Technology. Using innovative 3 dimensional block design within the tire tread, the tire’s contact with the road increases when braking. This induces a reduced braking distance in wet and dry and may give you those extra split seconds you’ll thank for a lifetime.

Building on the success of its predecessor, the new Eagle F1 Asymmetric 2 with ActiveBraking Technology, crossed plies carcass structure and ‘high surface’ silica tread compound sets new standards in dry and wet performance, handling and braking in the ultra-high performance tire segment.

The new Eagle F1 Asymmetric 2 also features Goodyear’s renowned FuelSaving Technology, which ensures reduced fuel consumption and CO2 emissions.

Benefit

Feature

Shorter braking distance on dry roads

ActiveBraking Technology: under braking conditions, each block is under higher load and the contact surface to the road increases
Crossed plies carcass structure

Shorter braking distance on wet roads

ActiveBraking Technology: under braking conditions, each block is under higher load and the contact surface to the road increases
Tread compound using a unique blend of high molecular weight polymers together with a combination of “Race” traction resins

Improved steering precision, handling and dry grip

Lower tire weight
Crossed plies carcass structure
New “high surface” silica (in tread compound)

Reduce fuel consumpion and CO2 emissions

FuelSaving Technology: less material in the tire & less heat generation
New “high surface” silica (in tread compound) reduces heat generation

Eagle F1 Asymmetric 2

EagF1Asymm2-tech-shot Goodyear is proud to introduce the Eagle F1 Asymmetric 2 with revolutionary ActiveBraking Technology, which answers the most pressing needs of consumers of Ultra High Performance (UHP) tires: greatly improved stopping distances when they need it most. The ActiveBraking Technology in the new Eagle F1 Asymmetric 2 increases road contact during braking, thereby delivering significantly shorter braking distances on both dry and wet roads – proof of Goodyear’s continued commitment and efforts to improving road safety.

Eagle F1 Asymmetric 2 offers you:

ActiveBraking Technology
Increases tire contact with the road under braking conditions
Reduces braking distance in wet and dry

A Conventional block: no transformation
B 3 dimensional block design: more contact when braking (load transfer)
FuelSaving Technology
A light weight construction reduces fuel consumption and
CO₂ emission
Improves steering and handling on dry roads
Tread compound
Improves wet grip and dry handling performances
Crossed plies carcass structure
Improves dry handling & braking
