Description

Goodyear Eagle C SUV (285/45R20 112Y AO XL EU)

Audi-Approved Precision. High-Speed Stability for Luxury SUVs.

While the Eagle F1 series has progressed to the Asymmetric 6, the Asymmetric 2 SUV remains in production specifically for the AO homologation to ensure Audi Q7 owners can maintain the exact steering feel and braking characteristics the car was designed with.

✨ Key AO Performance Technologies

• 🛑 ActiveBraking Technology:

  Under heavy braking, the 3D tread blocks expand to increase the contact area between the rubber and the road. For a heavy SUV like the Audi Q7, this provides shorter stopping distances on both wet and dry roads, a critical safety feature in sudden urban traffic.

• 🏁 Race-Derived Compound:

  The AO-spec rubber blend utilizes high-surface silica and motorsport resins. This allows the tyre to “interlock” with the road surface, providing the surgical steering precision required for a 300 km/h speed rating.

• 🌧️ Wet-Grip Mastery (Class A):

  The asymmetric tread pattern features high-volume circumferential grooves that evacuate water at a massive rate. This ensures the Audi Q7 remains stable and resistant to aquaplaning during heavy tropical downpours.

• 📐 Stiff Outboard Shoulder:

  The outer shoulder of the tyre is designed with large, solid blocks to resist deformation during hard cornering. This helps the Audi Q7 feel more like a sports sedan than a heavy SUV, reducing body roll and improving lateral grip.

• ⚖️ Optimized Lightweight Construction:

  By reducing the tyre’s unsprung mass, Goodyear improved the steering responsiveness and helped lower rolling resistance, which contributes to better fuel efficiency for large-displacement engines.

📊 Performance Summary

• Dry Handling: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (Exceptional for a heavy SUV)

• Wet Safety: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (Class-leading Class-A wet grip)

• High-Speed Stability: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (Y-rated for 300 km/h)

• Road Noise: ⭐⭐⭐ (Performance-focused; louder than a touring tyre)

The Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 2 AO is the essential choice for 2026 if you drive an Audi Q7 and want to preserve the factory-tuned handling and safety performance.
