Product description & features
The Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6 is a UHP tyre, following on from the highly successful Eagle F1 Asymmetric 5. Developed to produce a excellent performance in dry conditions, Goodyear have built this tyre with a contact patch that adapts to the driving style and road surface - to greatly improve use on dry roads.
Their goal of delivering an equally impressive performance in wet conditions has been achieved through the use of a new resin compound - which allows the tyre to have greater micro-contact points with the road surface, resulting in greater wet braking.
With the continuous rise in electric vehicle usage, this tyre features low noise emissions and a reduced rolling resistance - to make it a great choice for most electric vehicles.
What are summer tyres?
Summer tyres are specifically designed for warm weather conditions, particularly during the summer season. This type of tyre performs best when in seasons with warmer temperatures - above 7°C.
How does a summer tyre perform better in summer?
The technologies and tread patterns used in a summer tyre mean the tyres have high-quality features that are of benefit to driving in warm conditions. They typically use a softer rubber compound – designed for good grip and traction when driving on dry and wet roads.
Can you use summer tyres in winter?
Whilst summer tyres still offer adequate performances in wet and cooler conditions, it is recommended that you change. The tread design and technologies that are featured in summer tyres can harden in colder temperatures, resulting in reduced flexibility and decreased traction on snow and ice.
