"   Goodyear&amp;#039;s new-for-the-U.S. Eagle F1 Asymmetric tire is sticky and quiet. It sits next to the company&amp;#039;s Eagle F1 GS-D3, which is designed for maximum wet-weather grip. As you probably guessed, the F1 Asymmetric emphasizes maximum dry weather traction \u2014 the kind makers of supercars demand. Like a few tires in the ultra competitive Ultra-High Performance class, the new F1 uses large, chunky blocks of rubber on the outside of the tread for ultimate grip, while the inner tread focuses on evacuating water. In addition to its water shedding duties, the center of the F1 Asymmetric has an uninterrupted center rib to aid in high-speed stability. The tire uses Goodyear&amp;#039;s &amp;quot;Active CornerGrip Technology&amp;quot; \u2014 a buzz phrase referring to an Aramid reinforcement on the inside sidewall, which &amp;quot;helps compress the tread evenly on the road for enhanced traction while cornering.&amp;quot;  So does all this stuff actually make the F1 Asymmetric a more balanced performer? In short, yes. We drove a Porsche Cayman S, an Audi TT 3.2 Quattro and a Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG fitted with the new tire. Those performance cars already have high handling limits. And when we chucked any of the three into corners, the new tires yielded a pleasingly accurate and immediate response. It turns out Active CornerGrip Technology is more than a catchy phrase. The most startling characteristic became abundantly clear during an unintentional test, when we drove the E63 the next day, fitted with the stock tires. The noise level was significantly higher, easily noticeable even after a 16-hour break from driving. The Eagle F1 Asymmetric is a seriously quiet tire \u2014 and that&amp;#039;s a feat for something in this category. The Eagle F1 Asymmetric will be available by the end of this year in 22 sizes, from 17 to 20-inch diameters. \u2014 James Tate "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
