Eagle F1 Asymmetric 5

Ten premium and mid-range brands of tyre show us their strengths and weaknesses in Autozeitung’s 2021 summer tyre test. This year the German motoring publication looks at size 225/40 R18, a dimension suitable for around 60 vehicle models – including the new Seat Leon, which served as test vehicle.

Goodyear has launched the Eagle F1 Asymmetric 5 – the firm’s latest UHP tyre. Goodyear calls it “the ultimate all-rounder” and explains that the tyre uses new braking technology. This allows the tyre to offer 4 per cent shorter stopping distances compared to the Eagle F1 Asymmetric 3.
