Description

Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6 (245/40R18 93Y/ 97Y XL)

“Ready for Anything.” High Performance Meet Daily Efficiency.

The Asymmetric 6 (Asy6) is engineered for drivers who want the grip of a track-ready tyre without the harshness or high noise levels typically associated with the UHP category. It is a “Future-Ready” tyre, meaning it was designed to be equally effective on Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) cars and Electric Vehicles (EVs).

✨ Key Technical Features

• 🏎️ Dry Contact Plus Technology:

  The contact patch is “adaptive.” Under normal driving, it provides a standard footprint for fuel efficiency and comfort. During hard cornering or sudden maneuvers, the contact area physically expands to increase the amount of rubber touching the road, providing maximum lateral stability.

• 🌧️ Wet Braking Pro Technology:

  Goodyear uses an innovative resin system within the rubber compound that allows the tyre to “micro-bond” with road surface irregularities. This translates to exceptional traction on damp or greasy roads, significantly reducing emergency braking distances.

• 🔋 EV-Ready Design:

  The Asy6 features lower rolling resistance and improved aerodynamics in the sidewall to help preserve battery range for EVs. It is also structurally reinforced to handle the high instant torque and increased weight of battery packs.

• 🔇 Specialized Noise-Canceling Pattern:

  Thinner sipes (slits) in the center ribs and chamfered (angled) grooves on the shoulders help dampen the air resonance that causes tyre “drone.”10 At 70 dB, it is one of the quietest performance tyres on the market.

• 🛡️ MFS (Maximum Flange Shield):

  In this 18-inch size, the tyre includes an integrated rim protector—a thick rib of rubber that sits proud of the wheel flange to help protect your alloys from curb damage.

📊 Performance Profile

• Dry Handling: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (Razor-sharp and predictable)

• Wet Performance: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (Class-leading safety)

• Ride Comfort: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ (Softer and more “plush” than a Pilot Sport 4S)

• Longevity: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ (High mileage for a UHP tyre)

The Goodyear F1 Asymmetric 6 is the “sensible performance” choice. It is the best option if you want a tyre that is exciting to drive on a weekend but stays quiet and comfortable for the weekday commute.
