Description

Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 5 (225/45R18 95Y MO XL)

The Mercedes-Benz Standard. Luxurious Comfort Meets UHP Precision.

The Asymmetric 5 (Asy5) is Goodyear’s “ultimate all-rounder,” designed to provide the braking performance of a track tyre with the refinement of a luxury touring tyre. The XL (Extra Load) rating ensures it can handle the weight of modern executive sedans with ease.

✨ Key 2026 Technical Features

• 🏎️ Impulse Control Compound:

  This version utilizes a highly refined compound with an extra silica load. It is designed to heat up quickly to provide immediate “bite” and grip, delivering shorter braking distances on both wet and dry roads from the moment you start your journey.

• 🛑 ActiveBraking Technology:

  The tread blocks are designed to expand their contact surface under the force of braking. For a heavy executive sedan, this translates to shorter braking distances and keeps the car stable during emergency stops in unpredictable traffic.

• 📐 Power Cushion Technology:

  Features a stiffer coupling between the internal tyre carcass and the tread pattern. This delivers crisp, precise steering response and exceptional dry handling, allowing the driver to feel “connected” to the road through the steering wheel.

• 🌧️ Wet Performance Mastery:

  The asymmetric pattern includes wide longitudinal grooves that act as high-capacity water channels. This provides excellent hydroplaning resistance, keeping the car stable and “planted” during heavy tropical downpours.

• 🔇 Specialized Noise Sequence:

  Designed to complement the refined cabin of a Mercedes-Benz, the tread features a variable pitch sequence that cancels out road frequencies. This ensures a quiet and comfortable cruise (approx. 69dB) even on coarser asphalt surfaces.

📊 Performance Summary

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

• Wet Safety: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (Class-leading braking)

• Ride Comfort: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (Benchmark for UHP refinement)

• Longevity: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ (Engineered for enduring performance)

The Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 5 MO is the essential choice for 2026 if you drive a Mercedes-Benz and want to maintain the factory-certified handling and safety standards. It provides the perfect blend of “weekend sport” grip and “daily executive” comfort.
