Description

🇪🇺 Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 5 (235/45R18 98Y XL EU DOT22)

“UHP Grip with Touring Refinement.” Clearance 2022 High-Performance Stock.

The Asymmetric 5 is highly regarded by enthusiasts for resolving the stiff ride qualities often found in other high-performance tires. Featuring an Extra Load (XL) reinforced carcass and a high 98 load index, it comfortably supports the heavy battery packs of electric sedans like the Tesla Model 3 while delivering sports-car handling.

✨ Key Technical Features

• 🏎️ Impulse Control Compound:

  The European-engineered compound utilizes an advanced, highly specialized silica matrix. This allows the tyre to warm up quickly and adapt to the asphalt texture, providing tenacious dry handling and shorter stopping distances under heavy braking.

• 📐 ActiveBraking Technology:

  Goodyear’s patented design causes the tyre’s contact patch to dynamically expand under heavy braking loads. By widening its footprint against the road, it delivers exceptionally short braking distances on both bone-dry asphalt and wet surfaces.

• 🌧️ Power Cushion Technology:

  Features a highly robust, stiff underlying carcass structure paired with deep longitudinal water channels. This ensures immediate energy transfer from the steering rack to the road while achieving an Elite Class-A Wet Grip rating to safely cut through standing water during heavy tropical downpours.

• 🔇 Silent-Ride Tread Pitch:

  Unlike many aggressive sports tyres that produce an irritating drone, the block orientation of the Asymmetric 5 is optimized to reduce air resonance. This results in a noticeably quieter, executive cabin experience when cruising on the PIE or KPE.

• 💪 Extra Load (XL) Durability:

  The reinforced sidewalls are custom-tensioned to resist lateral tire distortion during spirited cornering, giving the driver a crisp, confident steering feedback without sacrificing daily commuting comfort.

📊 Performance Summary

• Dry Cornering Bite: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (Excellent mechanical traction)

• Wet Safety & Braking: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (Elite Class-A water clearing)
