Goodyear’s award winning Eagle F1 Asymmetric 2 tyres have been chosen for original 19″ wheel fitment on the latest generation of one of the world’s most adored sport cars: the muscle-ripped Porsche 911 Carrera.
It’s the perfect choice for cars like the buffed new 911, whose rear engine configuration offers outstanding traction but is exceptionally demanding on its rear tyres’ ability to transfer 350 break horsepower to the tarmac to ensure full performance. For the new Eagles, this level of performance demand is simply a reason to play.
The Eagle F1 Asymmetric 2 features ActiveBraking Technology, which employs an innovative three-dimensional block design within the tread to increase the tyre’s contact with the road when braking. The superb control and braking performance of the Eagle F1 Asymmetric 2 – demonstrated repeatedly in independent benchmarking tests – is a critical factor for the demanding drivers of sports cars like the Porsche 911.
Aside from the excellent performance qualities of both tyre and machine, both were additionally designed to meet low CO₂ emission requirements. Goodyear’s FuelSaving Technology, integrated into the Eagle F1 Asymmetric 2, will further assist the Porsche in its emission reductions, as the technology is driven by reduced tyre weight and a new ‘high surface’ silica grade that contributes to reduced heat generation and lower rolling resistance.
Porsche has called the 911 “the ultimate choice for drivers who want the fun and excitement of a true benchmark-setting sports car”. While the 2012 model has preserved the classic 911 lines, every inch of this machine has been revisited for advances in power and fuel economy.”
