Goodyear 255/35 R19 96Y Eagle F1 Asymmetric 5 MO 2024

The Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 5 255/35 R19 96Y XL MO is a summer ultra-high-performance tyre developed for premium and performance-oriented vehicles, with the MO marking identifying Mercedes-Benz original-equipment homologation. This exact specification combines a 255 mm section width, low 35-series profile, reinforced XL construction and 96Y service description. The 96 load index allows up to 710 kg per tyre, while the Y rating is approved for speeds up to 300 km/h. The supplied production year is 2024.

Performance Character and Tread Design

The Eagle F1 Asymmetric 5 uses an asymmetric performance tread with a construction designed to maintain a stable relationship between the casing and tread. Goodyear emphasises precise power transfer for dry-road handling, while its silica-enhanced compound and optimised tread design are intended to support braking and grip on wet surfaces. The tyre is therefore positioned between outright track-focused performance and everyday premium-road usability, giving drivers a more balanced performance character.

What the 255/35 R19 Size Means in Practice

The 255 mm width and 35-series profile create a relatively short sidewall, which can give steering inputs a more immediate feel than a taller-profile touring tyre. The exact 96Y XL specification uses a 19-inch wheel and provides 710 kg maximum load capacity per tyre. Goodyear and established retailers identify this version as XL and fitted with rim-protection technology. Correct tyre pressure, wheel alignment and compatible rim dimensions remain important with a low-profile performance tyre.

Real-World Road Behaviour

On dry roads, the Eagle F1 Asymmetric 5 is designed to provide precise steering response and stable cornering. The rigid relationship between the casing and tread helps transmit steering and braking forces without excessive tread movement. On wet roads, the high-silica compound and tread design are intended to maintain traction and braking performance. For this exact size, the European tyre label gives an A rating for wet grip, B for rolling resistance and 72 dB for external rolling noise.

Who Should Choose This Goodyear?

This specification is particularly suitable for drivers of Mercedes-Benz vehicles requiring the MO homologation and a 255/35 R19 96Y XL fitment. It also suits drivers who want a performance-oriented summer tyre without moving to a more specialised track-oriented product. The low-profile construction can provide good steering precision, but it will generally transmit sharp road imperfections more readily than a taller sidewall. Drivers primarily seeking maximum comfort or long-distance touring characteristics may therefore prefer a less performance-focused design.

Why the MO Specification Matters

The MO marking should be treated as an important part of this product's identity rather than simply an optional sidewall marking. The exact 255/35 R19 96Y XL MO version is listed for Mercedes-Benz applications, and different Eagle F1 Asymmetric 5 versions can have different constructions or homologation markings. For Dwbtyres customers looking to buy car tyres in UAE, checking the complete 255/35 R19 96Y specification, XL construction and MO marking helps ensure that the replacement tyre matches the intended vehicle configuration. Customers considering Goodyear Tyres should also verify the vehicle manufacturer's approved tyre specification before installation.
