Goodyear launches quick-braking Eagle F1 Asymmetric 2
Goodyear has launched its follow-up to the popular Eagle F1 Asymmetric tyre at a brand event in Seville, Spain. The UHP tyre was three years in the making; a response to development requirements set by the company to improve braking in dry and wet conditions, reflecting the company’s safety-conscious branding. Goodyear has introduced its “ActiveBraking Tecnology” in this tyre, a tapered edge tread block design that “develops more surface area” under braking load, helping the “high surface silica tread compound” to work over a larger contact area – around 30 per cent more than before – to bring vehicles to a standstill in less time.
