Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric SUV AT - Premium Summer SUV Tire
The Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric SUV AT summer tires combine all the benefits of a high-performance SUV and SUV tire. The model features high performance, excellent handling on dry and wet surfaces, low noise and vibration levels.
Features of the model
Tires of this series are highly valued by owners of premium SUVs and crossovers since they have many important characteristics:
- Provide high directional stability when driving at high speeds. This is due to the presence of a four-row central rib in the middle part of the tread pattern.
- They behave confidently on wet asphalt and deep puddles. To protect against hydroplaning in the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric SUV AT tire, a full-fledged drainage system is provided, which instantly clears the contact spot from moisture and dirt.
- Improves acceleration dynamics and shortens braking distances. These properties are provided by the numerous sloped slots in the center and shoulder ribs of the tire. Thanks to them, the tires become more grippy and transmit traction and braking forces more efficiently.
- Increases safety when maneuvering and overcoming tight bends. To prevent uncontrolled skidding during a sharp rotation of the steering wheel, the tire was equipped with enlarged macroblocks on the inner and outer shoulder areas.
- They are distinguished by low noise when driving. The tread elements are located on the working surface of the tire in such a way as to avoid acoustic resonance and to minimize the amplitude of the noise generated from under the wheels as much as possible.
- Easily withstand shocks and dynamic loads. The Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric SUV AT tires are equipped with a reinforced metal-nylon carcass that provides excellent protection against hernias, punctures, and tears when driving over damaged road surfaces.
- Helps to reduce fuel consumption. The rubber of which these tires are composed has a low rolling resistance index. This avoids unnecessary energy losses to overcome the frictional forces that arise between the road surface and tread blocks.
The tires of this model will be the best choice for those who prefer a dynamic sporty driving style.
Active CornerGrip Technology
Since this model was created for driving at very high speeds, one of the company's innovative developments, Active CornerGrip Technology, was used to ensure a high level of safety. This term hides severe technical solutions, which will be discussed below.
Asymmetrical tread pattern
North American tire makers have opted for an asymmetric directional tread design because this is the tread that is most effective at high speed in all road conditions. Its characteristic feature is the different patterns of the inner and outer sides of the tread.
A key feature of Active CornerGrip Technology is the aramid-reinforced sidewall on the outside of the tire. Aramid in its characteristics corresponds to the Kevlar used for body armor. As you know, when cornering, the outer side of the tire is loaded more than the inner side, due to which the tire tread is deformed, and the load is unevenly distributed over the contact patch, which leads to the tire falling off into sliding. A special reinforcing insert of aramid fibers in the sidewall on the outside of the tire significantly increases the tread resistance to deformation. This ensures a more even distribution of pressure over the contact patch. As a result, the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric tire exhibits superior cornering stability, allowing for faster cornering.
Another feature of the asymmetrical tread pattern is the longitudinal rib located in the center of the tread, which is characterized by a very rigid one-piece construction. This solution allows the tire to demonstrate phenomenal directional stability when driving at any speed. In addition, the massive dimensions and high rigidity of the center longitudinal rib design gave the tire lightning speed and precise response in response to steering movements, which brought a sporty character to the handling.
In addition, this model is distinguished by a multi-radius tread, the shoulder areas of which have a small radius profile. Due to this constructive solution, it was possible to achieve an almost rectangular configuration of the contact patch, providing along the way a very large area of it. This allows the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric tire to provide superior grip in all conditions. Another advantage of the multi-radius tread is the evenest distribution of the load over the entire area of the contact patch, which, in turn, led to a significant reduction in the risk of uneven wear.
Excellent rain performance
One of the family traits of all tire products from this North American manufacturer is high resistance to aquaplaning. This model is no exception and has excellent aquaplaning resistance thanks to its superior drainage performance. When driving on a wet road, moisture is collected in the four longitudinal grooves and then quickly removed through the numerous transverse channels to the outside.
