As a leading company in the tire industry, Goodyear Tire announced that its high-performance series tires Eagle Chi F1 Gen VI are officially launched in China. This tire has been comprehensively improved on the basis of inheriting the high-performance characteristics of the Eagle Chi series tires, what are the specific highlights?
As Justin Foley, General Manager of Goodyear Greater China, said: With the continuous reshaping of the automotive market pattern in recent years, more and more users have put forward higher requirements for car performance. The importance of tires to racing cannot be overstated.
The sixth generation of Goodyear Eagle Run F1 launched this time combines Goodyear's rich experience in track products, improves performance through innovative technology, and is better suitable for different road conditions in dry and wet areas. At the same time, through the optimized design of the product, the handling performance and low tire noise performance of the tire are ensured.
Targeted design for dry/wet roads to ensure handling
Goodyear has enhanced its technology through a number of upgrades to ensure that the tires still maintain their handling performance in different road conditions. The Eagle F1 6 uses dry contact enhancement technology, which improves the ground contact area of the tires by optimizing the shape of the tire cavity, which is 5% higher than the previous generation, thus improving the dry ground handling performance of the Eagle Run F1 6 generation.
Goodyear's upgraded Wet Braking technology comes into play when it comes to wet conditions, with a new race-grade resin formula that makes the tires more in contact with the ground, further improving the braking performance and handling performance of the tires in wet conditions.
Silent technology improves driving control and comfort simultaneously
Considering that high-performance tires usually have the problem of high noise, Goodyear has upgraded the sixth generation of the Eagle Chi F1 in response to this problem. The sixth generation of Yingchi F1 adopts a silent tread and a radial chamfered groove design on the shoulder, which helps to weaken noise transmission and play a role in noise reduction. In addition, it is worth mentioning that the sixth generation of the Eagle Chi F1 also uses a thinner transverse groove design on the central rib, which effectively reduces noise transmission.
In addition, the Eagle Chi F1 6th generation is now available in 30 sizes and specifications, covering 17 to 22-inch rim diameters, which can be applied to many popular models of mainstream luxury brands such as Porsche 911, BMW 5 Series, Audi A6, Mercedes-Benz E-Class, etc., and more options are expected to be added in the future.
The official launch of Goodyear Eagle 1 F1 sixth-generation tires in the Chinese market will also bring new choices to Chinese users who pursue an excellent driving experience. Of course, this is inseparable from the support of its strong team. Goodyear is one of the world's leading tire manufacturers and currently employs around 4,000 people in Greater China. It currently has 3 factories in the region, located in Dalian, Kunshan and Qingdao. In addition, Goodyear attaches great importance to the local market demand, and has set up R&D centers in Dalian and Kunshan, respectively, to develop and provide excellent products that better meet the needs of the Greater China market.
