The Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 2 SCT summer tire is designed for dynamic versions of passenger cars. It is characterized by improved traction on dry and wet surfaces, sporty precision handling, and good acoustic comfort for such tires.
The tread compound is made from a rubber mixture with a high silica content and special polymers. This compound improves traction properties, especially on cold wet surfaces, and also has good resistance to abrasive wear. The rubber mixture enhances the effectiveness of the ActiveBraining technology used in this model. Its essence lies in the use of the mobility of tread elements during braking. In this mode, the contact patch increases, which makes the deceleration intensity higher.
An important feature of the tire is its reduced weight. This is due to the use of a carcass with a synthetic cord. A special winding technology and optimized fiber arrangement have made it possible to increase the mechanical strength of the entire structure, its resistance to impact loads. The ultimate result of all these engineering tricks was a significant reduction in rolling resistance and, consequently, fuel consumption.
Key Features of Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 2 SCT
- A rubber compound based on silica and polymers increases the tire's grip, especially on cold wet surfaces;
- ActiveBraking technology reduces the braking distance;
- A reduced weight due to the optimized carcass design reduces rolling resistance.
