Best in the dry. Best in the wet. Goodyear wins Evo tyre test

Best in the dry. Best in the wet. Goodyear wins Evo tyre testThe new Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric has taken its first major independent tyre test victory, with 'Evo' magazine declaring the latest Goodyear ultra-high performance tyre as the dominant winner in a comparison of nine brands.

The test was particularly significant because the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric topped the handling tests in both wet and dry conditions, underlining how the tyre's unique Active CornerGrip Technology ensures performance and safety without any compromise.

The test highlighted the surprisingly big differences in new tyre performance. On the wet handling track, the Goodyear was able to lap 7.5 seconds faster than the ninth placed tyre. That means that in less than ten laps of the circuit, an identical Golf GTi fitted with the worst-performing tyre would be a full lap behind the Goodyear-shod car in the wet.

Available in a large array of sizes

The Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric is available in 24 sizes, from 17 inches up to 20 inches and 50 series down to 25 series. Almost the entire range is designed with extra load versions, to address the majority of today's modern high performance cars.
