The Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric uses Active Cornergrip Technology, an aramid reinforcement in the inner sidewall that helps equalize pressure across the contact patch during cornering for superior grip.
Features:
*Racing Compound Technology combines carbon black (for dry traction), silica (for wet traction) and a new-generation polymer to enhance stiffness
* Asymmetric tread has wide, solid outboard shoulder blocks that help with cornering, a continuous center rib for high-speed stability and wide circumferential grooves with an open inboard tread pattern to disperse water
*Construction includes two steel belts reinforced with layers of polyamide cord
*Varying tread block sizes (set in a staggered arrangement) reduce noise
Wheel Diameters: 17-20 inches
UTQG: Treadwear 240 Traction AA Temperance A

Hankook developed the Ventus V12 Evo using a corporate philosophy known as 'Kontrol Technology', a set of principles based on the premise that the tire is the source of control. The K stands for kinetic.
Features:
*Tread blocks located on either side of the solid center tracking rib utilize diverse angles on the edge of the tread blocks, creating a 3D effect that helps maintain even contact to optimize handling and braking
*High Polymer & Specific Resin (HPSR) compound increases wet traction and decreases wet braking distances
*High-density nylon reinforcement belt beneath the tread reinforces structure and ensures even distribution of pressure during cornering
*Wide linear grooves, aggressive Y-shape channels and Multiple Tread Radius (MTR) help drain water, increasing contact.
Wheel Diameters: 17-21 inches
UTQG: Treadwear 280Traction AA Temperance A

Computer engineering software combined with specialized digital audio testing equipment was critical to the Nitto Invo's non-directional design. The two technologies were combined to produce a tread block optimized for wet and dry performance with low road noise.
Features:
*Large inner and outer shoulder blocks and continuous center rib provide stability during cornering and braking
*Variable pitch technology keeps road noise low without sacrificing ride comfort
*For wet-weather performance, twin circumferential grooves channel water, while 3D siping provides numerous biting edges
*Silica-reinforced compound reduces flex for better handling and braking performance
Wheel Diameters: 17-22 inches
