Description

Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 5 (235/60R18 103W MO EU Y25)

The Mercedes SUV Benchmark. “All-Rounder” Precision with SUV Stability.

The Asymmetric 5 (Asy5) is widely regarded as one of the most balanced tyres in the UHP category. It successfully bridges the gap between the aggressive dry handling of a sports tyre and the refined, quiet ride of a luxury touring tyre.

✨ Key 2026 Technical Features

• 🏎️ Impulse Control Compound:

  The tread features a highly refined compound with an extra silica load. This allows the tyre to warm up quickly and “key” into the road surface, delivering significantly shorter braking distances on both wet and dry roads.

• 🛑 ActiveBraking Technology:

  Under the heavy braking forces typical of a 2-ton SUV, the tread blocks are designed to expand their contact surface. This increased footprint provides more friction and “bite,” ensuring the car stays stable and stops sooner during emergencies.

• 📐 Power Cushion Technology:

  This system creates a stiffer coupling between the internal tyre carcass and the tread pattern. It eliminates the “mushy” feeling sometimes found in high-sidewall SUV tyres, providing sharp, car-like steering precision.

• 🌧️ Wet Performance Mastery:

  The asymmetric tread pattern is optimized for superior water evacuation. It effectively flushes away tropical rainwater, maintaining a high level of hydroplaning resistance even during intense Singaporean afternoon storms.

• 🔇 Low-Noise Performance:

  Designed to meet Mercedes-Benz’s strict comfort standards, the pitch sequence is optimized to neutralize road frequencies. At 69dB, it is one of the quietest UHP tyres available, preserving the hushed cabin environment of a luxury vehicle.

📊 Performance Summary

• Dry Handling: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (Precise and communicative)

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

• Ride Comfort: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (Benchmark for executive SUV refinement)
