Benefits
Reinforced Construction Technology Durability and precision steering Goodyear's new Reinforced Construction Technology results in a tyre that's lighter and stronger. This means you'll benefit from better fuel efficiency, improved tread wear and smoother handling around corners.
Grip Booster Technology Enhanced grip The Eagle F1 Asymmetric 3 tyre features the new Grip Booster compound, which is made with a sticky, adhesive resin to increase your vehicle's grip on road surfaces. This design provides the best braking and handling experience, so you can feel confident in any road conditions.
ActiveBraking Technology Shorter braking distance Active Braking Technology makes your tyre react when you brake, automatically increasing the surface area in contact with the road to improve the grip. The benefit? A shorter braking distance on both wet and dry surfaces, for improved safety and comfort on the road.

EU Tyre Label and Efficiency Classes
The European Union, under CE 1222/2009, has mandated that all tyres manufactured after the date of July 1 2012 for cars and commercial vehicles include standard EU Tyre Labels classifying them by three performance characteristics:fuel efficiency classified from A to G,wet grip classified from A to G, and noise emission in decibels.
Categories of tyres unaffected by this regulation include: retreaded tyres, professional off-road tyres, racing/sports car tyres, as well as certain types of tyres designed to improve traction such as studded tyres, T-type temporary spare tyres, tyres for cars built before 1990, tyres with a maximum allowed speed of 80km/h, tyres for rims with a diameter less or equal to 254 mm or greater or equal to 635 mm. This label is intended on one hand to promote economic and ecological efficiency in traffic, as well as increase road safety, and on the other hand to help consumers select appropriate tyres by ensuring a certain degree of product transparency.
Nevertheless, the label has been criticized for only showing a very limited number of characteristics. Professionals argue that tyres have many more features that are important and relevant to road safety, including but not limited to aquaplaning properties, driving stability, service life, product properties on wet and dry roads other than wet grip, properties on snow. Tyre manufacturers suggest that the test results from various institutions and industry magazines should remain a very important source of information for the end consumer, because they focus on and rate a wide variety of tyre properties and features.
* The list prices, if available, are a net calculation basis for determining sales prices between tire manufacturers and their dealers. In no case are the selling prices paid or usually paid.
