About Goodyear  235\45 R18 98Y Eagle F1 Asymmetric 5   2024

Tyre Size and Fitment

The 235/45 R18 size is designed for vehicles requiring an 18-inch performance tyre with a 235 mm width. The Eagle F1 Asymmetric 5 uses an asymmetric tread pattern and is available in this size with XL construction for increased load capability. Exact vehicle compatibility should always be checked against the vehicle manufacturer's approved tyre specification.

Load and Speed Rating

The 98 load index corresponds to a maximum load capacity of 750 kg per tyre. The Y speed rating permits speeds of up to 300 km/h under the applicable conditions. The XL construction provides reinforced load capability compared with a standard-load tyre.

Wet-Road Performance

The Eagle F1 Asymmetric 5 was engineered with a strong focus on wet braking. Goodyear's ActiveBraking technology increases the tyre's contact area during braking, helping to improve braking performance on wet and dry surfaces. The exact 235/45 R18 98Y XL variant is listed with an EU wet-grip rating of A in current product listings.

Dry and Wet Grip

The asymmetric tread is designed to provide a balance between dry-road steering response and wet-road grip. Goodyear's Power Cushion technology is intended to improve the transmission of steering forces to the road, while the tread compound incorporates increased silica for enhanced grip and braking performance.

Summer Driving

The Eagle F1 Asymmetric 5 is a summer performance tyre intended for warm-weather driving. Its design focuses on dry handling, wet braking and high-speed road performance rather than winter traction.

Comfort and Noise

The exact 235/45 R18 98Y XL variant is listed with external rolling noise around 71 dB in European product specifications. Its 45-series profile and performance-oriented construction provide a balance between steering response and everyday road comfort.

Fitment and Rim Protection

This product is identified as an XL FP/MFS version in several exact-size listings. FP and MFS markings are associated with rim-protection construction, but the exact sidewall marking should be checked on the individual tyre before treating rim protection as a guaranteed feature.

Production Year

This product listing is specified as a 2024-production tyre. The actual manufacturing date of an individual tyre should be confirmed from its DOT/date marking on the sidewall.
