Description

Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 5 (255/55R18 109W MO XL EU Y23)

The Mercedes SUV Standard. Masterful Wet Grip with Executive Comfort.

The Asymmetric 5 (Asy5) is Goodyear’s “ultimate all-rounder,” designed to bridge the gap between track-level braking and the hushed refinement expected of a premium SUV. The XL (Extra Load) rating and 109 load index allow it to support up to 1,030 kg per tyre, essential for heavy luxury SUVs.

✨ Key 2026 Performance Technologies

• 🏎️ Impulse Control Compound:

  The tread rubber is infused with a highly refined silica blend that heats up rapidly. This ensures immediate “bite” and grip from the start of your drive, providing shorter braking distances on both dry and wet roads.

• 🛑 ActiveBraking Technology:

  Under the heavy braking forces typical of a large SUV, the tread blocks are designed to expand their contact area with the road. This results in significantly shorter stopping distances during emergency maneuvers on the PIE or KPE.

• 📐 Power Cushion Technology:

  Features a stiffer coupling between the internal tyre carcass and the tread pattern. This eliminates the “squishy” feel sometimes found in SUV tyres, delivering sharp, car-like steering precision and stable high-speed cornering.

• 🌧️ Wet Performance Mastery:

  The asymmetric tread pattern includes four deep longitudinal grooves that function as high-capacity water pumps. This ensures Class A wet grip, providing security and preventing aquaplaning during intense tropical cloudbursts.

• 🔇 Specialized Pitch Sequence:

  Designed to meet Mercedes-Benz’s strict NVH (Noise, Vibration, Harshness) requirements, the tread blocks are arranged to disrupt air resonance. At 70dB, it provides a quiet and refined cabin experience, even on coarser asphalt.
