GOODYEAR UHP AND UUHP TIRES: PERFORMANCE THAT ELEVATES EVERY DRIVE

Whether it’s competing at Le Mans or equipping the world’s most prestigious cars, the Goodyear brand is synonymous with performance. The Goodyear Eagle F1 range covers the full ultra-high-performance (UHP) and ultra-ultra-high-performance (UUHP) spectrum, including the award-winning Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6, which delivers premium performance for a huge variety of popular sports cars, premium SUVs, coupes, saloons and more, and the Eagle F1 SuperSport family, which boasts a track-inspired package ready for the world’s most exceptional sports cars and supercars.

Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6: Award-winning Performance

Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6 offers drivers an exceptional combination of performance and efficiency. Technologies such as Dry Stability Plus and Wet Braking Pro give an overall balanced and consistent driving platform that enables the tire to adapt to driving style and situations.

Advances in rolling resistance and comfort also make the tire suitable for the latest generation of electrified vehicles, which demand more from a tire to help maximize efficiency. Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6 is a proven test winner, too. In 2023, it helped Goodyear retain Auto Bild’s summer tire manufacturer of the year award. The tire has also claimed the title of ‘Eco-Master’ by the same publication, and was praised for its balanced ability in both dry and wet conditions1. Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6 is now available in more sizes than before with the addition of 95 new SKUs in 2024, bringing a particular focus on 19-inch rims and above to answer to the continued growth of the SUV market.

Goodyear Eagle F1 SuperSport: The UUHP Tire With Motorsport Pedigree

The Goodyear Eagle F1 SuperSport range comprises ultra-ultra high-performance (UUHP) tires with real racetrack heritage. There are three SuperSport variants: SuperSport, SuperSport R and SuperSport RS, each one a step towards the race track compared to the last.

With balanced wet and dry performance for the road and optimized grip and handling for the track, Goodyear Eagle F1 SuperSport is characterized by its exceptional versatility and performance. It features stiffened tread ribs for responsiveness, a strengthened sidewall, and a tread pattern that allows drivers to feel the feedback on dry roads and enjoy exceptional performance and predictability in the wet. The result is a tire that complements the characteristics of a wide range of performance cars from hot hatches through to roadsters, fast saloons and the most desirable supercars, available in fitments from 18-22 inches.

For use on the racetrack as well as the road, Eagle F1 SuperSport R and SuperSport RS offer two distinct steps up in feedback and performance driving capability. SuperSport R’s resin-tuned compound produces even better grip than the standard SuperSport and its profile helps to ensure better pressure distribution for enhanced steering precision whether on the race track or the road.

At the top of the range is SuperSport RS, designed exclusively for the Porsche 911 GT2 RS and GT3 RS. It features a specialized compound derived from Goodyear’s motorsport development, delivering racing-inspired dry grip on the track, while maintaining SuperSport R’s ability on the road.

Goodyear Eagle F1: Motorsport Heritage, From Race To Road

The technology within the tires is inspired by the world of motorsport, with Goodyear using its decades of experience to deliver both on the track and the road. In 2024, the FIA World Endurance Championship launched the brand new LMGT3 category with Goodyear as exclusive tire supplier. The class features vehicles based on sports cars for which the Eagle F1 range is designed, with representation from nine different premium manufacturers. This link from the race track to the road with cars that are based on the target cars for the SuperSport family helps Goodyear transfer its technological philosophies to each discipline.

Ben Glesener, Senior Director Technology Consumer, Goodyear EMEA: “Goodyear’s ultra-high performance range is a combination of decades of work to discover the optimum tire for each application, and the constant development from both our motorsport and road technology teams. Working with sports car manufacturers such as Ferrari, Maserati, Mercedes and Porsche, exemplify how our development teams have designed a range for a wide variety of applications, which continues to set a high standard for UHP and UUHP tires in the industry.”
