Performance Tires

We're seeing an evolution in many of today's Max Performance Summer tires designed for Europe's Autobahn, Autostrada and Motorway. One that includes the expanding use of asymmetric tread designs on top of sophisticated asymmetric internal structures. The newest example of this at the time of this test is the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric Max Performance Summer tire. We were favorably impressed by the media preview of the Eagle F1 Asymmetric and now it's time for our team to put it to the test. In order to confirm how Eagle F1 Asymmetric tires measure up to some of today's other Max Performance Summer tires, we compared the Eagle F1 Asymmetric to Bridgestone's Potenza RE050A Pole Position, Continental's ContiSportContact 3 and Michelin's Pilot Sport PS2 tires.
