Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 5 (2024)

FAQs

What is the difference between Goodyear Eagle F1 asymmetric 3 and 5? ›

One of the major improvements in the Asymmetric 5s is shorter stopping distances of up to 7% both in dry and wet conditions when compared to the Asymmetric 3. This is attributed to new technologies introduced to the Asymmetric 5 in regards to its structure and compound. One of the technologies is called Active Braking.

The Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6 is the successor to the Eagle F1 Asymmetric 5. The Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6 offers improved dry handling and braking compared to the Asymmetric 5.

Generally, Goodyear summer tyres are slightly better rated (72%) than Bridgestone (57%). In this particular case, the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6 has a better rating of 100% compared to 89% of the Bridgestone Turanza T005.

Tire Features

A unique asymmetric tread design helps provide enhanced traction, superb cornering, and a quiet ride. Aggressive shoulder tread blocks and wide lateral grooves offer confident handling in wet, dry, or snowy conditions.

Overall, in the size and type chosen for this review, Michelin has a slight edge for performance but Goodyear is a winner for comfort and a quiet ride. The best assurance of a correct replacement tire that suits your driving style and needs is your local retailer.

If asymmetric or directional tyres are fitted incorrectly – the wrong way round or rotating in the wrong direction – you should be advised at the time of its MOT. Most garages have tyre fitting equipment, so they should be able to correct the issue for you.

Provided that the larger tread blocks are positioned to the outside, asymmetrical tyres offer unrivalled grip and roadholding in all weather conditions for a safe and secure drive.

Engaging in aggressive driving behaviours, such as abrupt braking, rapid acceleration, and excessive cornering forces, can expedite the wearing down of tyres. Oppositely, adopting a smooth and controlled driving approach can aid in prolonging the lifespan of tyres.

When did F1 stop using Goodyear tires? ›

Goodyear would leave the sport following the 1998 season, leaving Bridgestone as the sole tyre provider for the next two seasons. In 1998, grooved tyres were introduced with three groove lines in the front tyres and four groove lines in the rear tyres.

On average the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6 measured 3.61% quieter than the Michelin Pilot Sport 5.

Relatively comfortable especially considering that is a runflat tire. The tire tread still retains its original groove and design but has significant wear points on both edge and there are some small tire detachments.

F1 tires are designed to offer optimum grip at high temperatures. Teams will use tire blankets in the garages, which allow the tires to be warmed to 158º F (70º C). Once drivers go on track, they carefully manage the rubber and increase their temperature to offer optimal levels of grip when on a flying lap.

Every race has soft, medium, and hard tyre compounds, and each has its benefits and trade-offs. The soft tyre provides the most grip but isn't durable; the hard tyre will last the longest but isn't as grippy; and the medium tyre offers the best of both without excelling at either.

Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 3 is coming out as a replacement for the Eagle F1 Asymmetric 2. It has improved performance and offers an even more comfortable ride. The tyre has been tested by the DEKRA testing organization, whose testing showed that the tyre is more wear-resistant than its main competitors.

They're assymetric so the inside ~1/2 will have a different tread patter the that of the outside. However, they're not directional.
