The summer tire Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 3 is one of the novelties of the North American manufacturer. Compared to its two predecessors, this model has improved characteristics, which required considerable effort to achieve - 36,000 man-hours and approximately 330,000 kilometers of real tests. In addition, the most modern technologies were used in the development of this tire, some of which will be discussed below.
Active Braking Technology
One of the key innovations of this model is the ActiveBraking technology. Its essence lies in the tire's ability to increase the size of the contact patch when braking. This is ensured by the optimized design of the tread blocks, which change their shape in a predetermined way when subjected to longitudinal accelerations. This significantly increases the size of the contact patch, which in turn improves traction when braking.
Grip Booster
Another technology used in the creation of this tire is the Grip Booster. This is a compound, the majority of which is composed of new-generation silica. Due to this component, the tread literally sticks to the road, closely following all its irregularities. In addition, the rubber mixture contains special polymers. With their help, its uniformity is ensured, as well as the integrity of the tread when driving at high speeds. These substances improve its tear resistance.
Lightning-fast reactions to steering wheel turns and durability
Despite its very small weight, the tire has excellent resistance to dynamic deformation, maintaining its shape unchanged even when subjected to strong multidirectional acceleration forces. This is entirely due to the carcass, which is made entirely of modern synthetic materials and has increased stiffness. Such a "base" makes reactions to steering wheel turns lightning-fast, and also provides a more even distribution of external load across the contact patch. This has a positive effect on both handling and tire lifespan.
Main features of the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 3 model
- a shorter braking distance compared to previous models;
- improved traction thanks to the optimized rubber mixture;
- high handling responsiveness and long service life are ensured by the rigid carcass structure.
