It employs about 63,000 people and manufactures its products in 49 facilities in 19 countries around the world. Its two Innovation Centers in&nbsp;Akron, Ohio, and Colmar-Berg,&nbsp;Luxembourg, strive to develop state-of-the-art products and services that set the technology and performance standard for the industry.

A masterpiece of engineering, shaped by decades of all-season expertise and an award-winning</span><a href="#_ftn1"><span>[1]</span></a><span> portfolio, the new tire raises all-season performance to a new level – delivering confident, well-rounded capability that is already being validated by independent test results.&nbsp;</span></p><p><span>With a new design highlighted by a high-contrast sidewall and coverage now extending up to 23-inch rim diameters, Vector All Season 4 unlocks premium, year-round capability and convenience for vehicle segments that until now had no all-season solution available.</span></p><p><span><strong>Doubt Nothing – Grip the Moment</strong></span></p><p><span>Goodyear Vector All Season 4 delivers optimized performance in all conditions, from dry roads to rain and light snow, and carries the European Three-Peak Mountain Snowflake (3PMSF) certification. Developed using Goodyear’s latest technologies and dedicated materials, the tire delivers a carefully balanced combination of capabilities without compromising any single performance area. This enables the tire to adapt to changing temperatures, road conditions, and driving styles, for reliable year-round performance.</span></p><p><span>Independent test results further confirm the performance of Vector All Season 4. In a TÜV SÜD test commissioned by Goodyear, the tire emerged as a well-balanced product</span><a href="#_ftn2"><span>[2]</span></a><span> according to Goodyear’s internal analysis of the TÜV test results, demonstrating consistently strong performance across all evaluated performance criteria. Its performance was also recognized by AutoBild, which awarded the tire an “Exemplary” rating</span><a href="#_ftn3"><span>[3]</span></a><span>, underlining its strengths as a reliable, well-rounded all‑season solution.</span></p><p><span><strong>WeatherReady™ Technology</strong></span></p><p><span>The tire’s uncompromised all-season performance is built on WeatherReady™ Technology, Goodyear’s new engineering foundation for all-season capability. It combines three advanced technologies: Dry Contact Plus, 3D Blade Sipe System and a new compound formula to deliver confident performance across changing conditions.</span></p><ul><li data-list-item-id="e220db7180ab04207a0220c801eb4cce0"><span><strong>Certain when it counts: </strong>A new tread pattern and optimized block design support confident grip across seasons and road conditions.</span></li><li data-list-item-id="ee040eeab23e8f1097e170b65294c55fa"><span><strong>Effortless control in dry and wet:</strong> An enhanced footprint during braking delivers excellent dry and wet performance.</span></li><li data-list-item-id="ef16bec60f60c0a7fbba1db19ba3b33cb"><span><strong>Efficient and refined drive: </strong>A new compound formula improves tread wear and rolling resistance, supporting extended mobility range – perfectly suited for EVs.</span></li></ul><p><span><strong>Built for Premium Fitments</strong></span></p><p><span>Designed for today’s heavier, more powerful, and increasingly electrified vehicles, Vector All Season 4 responds to the evolving demands of the modern vehicle parc with broader fitment and enhanced capability.</span></p><p><span>By 2026, the lineup will include 96 SKUs across rim diameters from 16 to 23 inches, with 66% of the range in 19 inches and above. This broader coverage marks a significant step for the all-season segment, allowing more drivers and a wider variety of vehicles to rely on an all-season tire solution for the first time. Models such as Range Rover, Range Rover Sport, Porsche Panamera and Macan, as well as Audi A6 e-tron, Q7 and SQ7, can now combine confident all-season performance with the convenience of year-round versatility.</span></p><p><span>This range expansion reflects both growing all-season demand</span><a href="#_ftn4"><span>[4]</span></a><span> and an evolving vehicle parc. Between 2022 and 2025, sales of 19-inch and above all-season tires increased by more than 20%</span><a href="#_ftn5"><span>[5]</span></a><span> per year, underscoring the shift toward larger rim sizes and highlighting the need for broader all-season fitment coverage.</span></p><p><span><strong>Unapologetic Aesthetic – A Refined Premium Design</strong></span></p><p><span>For fitments of 19 inches and above, Vector All Season 4 features an exclusive laser-engraved sidewall. The finish reinforces a powerful, premium appearance – enhancing the visual presence of modern performance and luxury vehicles, whether in motion or at a standstill.</span></p><p><span>“Goodyear has played a defining role in shaping the all-season category since its very beginnings, starting with the launch of Goodyear Tiempo in 1977 – the world’s first all-season tire,” says Ben Glesener, Senior Technology Director Product Development Consumer EMEA. “As we approach the 50-year anniversary of that milestone next year, Vector All Season 4 represents the next step in how we continue to redefine the all-season category. By raising all‑season performance and expanding the range to meet the demands of today’s premium and electric vehicles, we are making it easier than ever for more drivers to rely on a single tire solution throughout the year.</span></p><hr align="left"><p><a href="#_ftnref1"><span>[1]</span></a><span> </span><a href="https://news.goodyear.eu/goodyear-vector-4seasons-gen-3-achieves-top-rating--in-latest-adac-test/"><span>https://news.goodyear.eu/goodyear-vector-4seasons-gen-3-achieves-top-rating--in-latest-adac-test/</span></a><span>, </span><a href="https://news.goodyear.eu/goodyear-vector-4seasons-gen-3-awarded-test-winner-by-adac/"><span>https://news.goodyear.eu/goodyear-vector-4seasons-gen-3-awarded-test-winner-by-adac/</span></a><span>, </span><a href="https://news.goodyear.eu/goodyear-vector-4seasons-gen-3-wins-auto-bilds-all-season-tire-test/"><span>https://news.goodyear.eu/goodyear-vector-4seasons-gen-3-wins-auto-bilds-all-season-tire-test/</span></a></p><p><a href="#_ftnref2"><span>[2]</span></a><span> Compared to average performance of the four most recent available models at the time of testing from the main competitors in the All-Season Segment (Bridgestone Turanza All Season 6, Continental AllSeasonContact 2, Michelin CrossClimate 2, Pirelli Cinturato All Season SF 3).

This year, as it celebrates 45 years of its Eagle family of tires, Goodyear’s offering in the UHP and UUHP segments is stronger than ever, catering for drivers who want performance-orientated tires for their car, no matter the sector.</span></p><p><span>Uniting Goodyear’s expertise in the performance car segment with its heritage in the world’s premier racing championships, Goodyear Eagle is an icon in its own right. Today, the name is carried on Goodyear’s Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6 and Eagle F1 SuperSport ranges, as well as specialised racing slick tires trusted by the stars of the FIA World Endurance Championship’s LMGT3 class and NASCAR Cup Series.</span></p><p><strong>Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6: Award-winning performance&nbsp;</strong><br><br>Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6 boasts exceptional performance and efficiency. Technologies such as Dry Stability Plus and Wet Braking Pro give an overall balanced and consistent driving platform that enables the tire to adapt to driving style and situations, delivering ultra-high performance on dry and wet roads.&nbsp;<br><br>Goodyear’s latest technologies combine in Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6 to give drivers the performance they’ve come to expect from an Eagle tire while meeting modern noise and emissions standards and catering for the demands of electrified vehicles, too. It is also a proven test winner, recognised by Auto Bild in multiple tests since its launch<sup>1</sup>.&nbsp;<br><br>In fitments designed for nearly everything from premium hatchbacks to sports cars and everything in between, Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6 now delivers sporty performance for a wider range of drivers than ever before.&nbsp;<br>&nbsp;</p><p><span><strong>Goodyear Eagle F1 SuperSport: The UUHP tire with motorsport pedigree</strong></span></p><p><span>The Goodyear Eagle F1 SuperSport range comprises race-proven ultra-ultra high-performance (UUHP) tires. There are three SuperSport variants: SuperSport, SuperSport R and SuperSport RS, each one a step towards track performance compared to the last.</span></p><p><span>With balanced wet and dry performance for the road and superior grip and handling for the track, Eagle F1 SuperSport is characterised by its exceptional versatility and performance. It features stiffened tread ribs for responsiveness, a strengthened sidewall, and a tread pattern that allows drivers to push on dry roads and enjoy exceptional performance and predictability in the wet.</span></p><p><span><strong>The choice of performance brands</strong></span></p><p><span>For 45 years, Goodyear Eagle has been the choice of many premium manufacturers’ most exciting road cars, too. Today, between SuperSport and Asymmetric 6, Eagle F1 tires come as standard on performance cars as diverse as the Lotus Emira, Porsche Macan 4 Electric, BMW 1 Series and Audi S5. When Ferrari chose Eagle F1 SuperSport for its 12Cilindri, a partnership going back to the Eagle-equipped Ferrari Testarossa of the 1980s was reignited. At the track day end of the range is Eagle F1 SuperSport RS, which was specially designed in collaboration with Porsche for the manufacturers’ RS models like the 911 GT2 RS and GT3 RS.</span></p><p><span>To read more about Goodyear Eagle’s storied 45-year history click here: </span><a href="https://news.goodyear.eu/trusted-by-heroes-chosen-by-millions-goodyear-celebrates-45-years-of-eagle-product-line/"><span>Trusted by heroes, chosen by millions: Goodyear celebrates 45 years of Eagle product line</span></a></p><p><span>1) Auto Bild, multiple tests: </span><a href="https://news.goodyear.eu/goodyear-named-top-manufacturer-of-the-year-of-summer-tires-by-auto-bild"><span>https://news.goodyear.eu/goodyear-named-top-manufacturer-of-the-year-of-summer-tires-by-auto-bild</span></a></p>]]></description><category><![CDATA[Automotive &amp; Motorcycle News,Global,LATEST NEWS,PRODUCTS and SERVICES,UUHP,UHP]]></category>

The new customer sports cup, is designed as a platform for promising up-and-coming talent and will feature support races at high-profile DTM (German Touring Car) events.</span>&nbsp;</p><p><span>The BMW M2 Cup allows rookies from junior racing series and karting to move up the racing ladder to compete in powerful rear wheel drive cars.</span>&nbsp;</p><p><span>BMW has chosen experienced, premium partners for this important new series. Tolimit GmbH has been commissioned as the promoter and has decades of experience in customer motorsport and talent promotion. Goodyear has vast experience in international motorsport as official tire partner to leading touring car championships such as the FIA World Touring Car Cup and British Touring Car Championship, as well as a successful record in endurance racing. According to Jörg Michaelis, Tolimit’s Project Manager for the BMW M2 Cup, this is key to the cooperation: "With Goodyear, we have gained a reliable partner who not only qualitatively meets the demands of a one-make cup, but also fully supports the promotion concept."</span></p><p><span>The philosophy of the BMW M2 Cup includes the greatest possible equality of opportunity and transparency. The cars are prepared centrally, and the chassis are reassigned to each driver for each race weekend. This is to give the drivers the best possible opportunity to demonstrate their skills in a fair comparison with other up-and-coming drivers. "With the BMW M2 Cup, we want to offer talented drivers an attractive and financially viable platform on which they can prove their driving quality in the DTM environment and, if successful, even move up," says Thomas Felbermair, Vice President Sales and Marketing BMW M GmbH. "I am very pleased to have found in Goodyear a tire partner who, on the one hand, fully supports the focus on driver development and, on the other hand, has decades of expertise in motorsport and tire development."</span></p><p><span><strong>Rookies benefit from years of Goodyear expertise</strong></span></p><p><span>With Goodyear, the rookie drivers can rely on an experienced partner when it comes to tires. The involvement in the BMW M2 Cup continues the long-standing cooperation between BMW and Goodyear: "We have a seven-year relationship with BMW in the 240i Cup on the Nordschleife alone. Before that, we had an intensive development partnership in the BMW M3 GT2 race programme at the Nürburgring 24h and other international endurance series." said Alexander Kühn, Goodyear Car Motorsport Product Manager EMEA.</span></p><p><span>"We are looking forward to building on the good cooperation with the promoter.

<li><strong>The brand-new Goodyear Eagle F1 SuperSport RS has been homologated on the Porsche 911 GT2 RS and Porsche 911 GT3 RS</strong></li>
<li><strong>Eagle F1 SuperSport RS tire marks return of Goodyear to the supercar segment</strong></li>
<li><strong>Focus on delivering consumers a great race track experience</strong></li>
</ul>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p>After the recent introduction of the new Eagle F1 SuperSport range, Goodyear is proud to announce that the Eagle F1 SuperSport RS has been homologated for the Porsche 911 GT2 RS and Porsche 911 GT3 RS for the sizes 265/35 ZR 20 (99Y) XL and 325/30 ZR 21 (108Y) XL.</p>

<p>Lead Engineer Porsche Motorsport Jan Frank comments on the new tire, &ldquo;The new Goodyear Eagle F1 SuperSport RS has proven to provide the very high-performance level which we from Porsche require.&rdquo; Goodyear has designed a great tire for us which perfectly fits into the extreme requirements of our Porsche 911 GT2 RS.&rdquo;</p>

<p>Setting lap times at the Nard&ograve; Porsche Test circuit at Nard&ograve; in Italy was the final stage of development for the new Eagle F1 SuperSport RS, which marks Goodyear&rsquo;s return to the Ultra Ultra High Performance (UUHP) market segment. Nick Harley, managing director of Goodyear OE in the EMEA region comments, &ldquo;In development of the SuperSport RS we have leveraged our talented engineering teams and world class development facilities to produce a world-beating UUHP tire. The tire is designed to enhance the performance and handling characteristics of the most specialist machinery on the roads today and in vehicle manufacturer&rsquo;s development pipelines.&rdquo;</p>

<p><strong>Tire requirements</strong></p>

<p>Fitted with 265/35ZR20 (99Y) XL (front) and 325/30ZR21 (108Y) XL (rear), the GT2 RS usage scenario was particularly challenging. Porsche Motorsport required tires capable of predictably and exploitably transmitting 700 hp and 750 nm through the rear wheels, a challenge compounded by peak torque arriving from just 2500 rpm, transferring power into straight-line and cornering performance resulting in superior lap times.</p>

<p>&ldquo;The list of tires truly competitive in these conditions is short,&rdquo; continues Harley. &ldquo;For the Eagle F1 SuperSport RS to receive the praise it has from a manufacturer with as relentless a pursuit of improvement as Porsche, truly reflects how far Goodyear has moved the UUHP segment on.&rdquo;</p>

<p>The homologation entails that Porsche will be retailing N0-marked Goodyear Eagle F1 SuperSport RS tires through its dealer network to owners seeking performance and steering precision in dry conditions.</p>

<p><strong>Technical notes: Goodyear Eagle F1 SuperSport RS</strong></p>

<p>Goodyear developed the Eagle F1 SuperSport RS specially for Porsche Motorsport, with a brief to facilitate record performance on track. Xavier Fraipont, VP EMEA Product Development for Goodyear is bullish about the tire&rsquo;s capabilities: &ldquo;Goodyear has a great heritage in motorsport,&rdquo; he explains. &ldquo;Now we bring all our experience and knowledge into the new Goodyear Eagle F1 SuperSport RS, developed in Europe to increase performance level of super sport cars, with main focus on all track day performances.&rdquo;</p>

<p>Benefitting from exhaustive development at Development Center Hanau, Germany where more hundreds of engineers, scientists and technicians work on new materials, tread designs and manufacturing techniques, Eagle F1 SuperSport RS brings a number of pioneering developments to the UUHP market:</p>

<p>Pure racing compound maximizes dry grip by combining very stiff tread elements with a reduced tread depth. The combined benefit helps maximizing the g- forces while minimizing movement of tread pattern in extreme cornering conditions, this providing the driver with both maximum grip level and extremely precise steering behavior.</p>

<p>The adapted tire construction utilizes further lessons from motorsport and bestows the Eagle F1 SuperSport RS with an optimized tire profile to increase size of contact in combination to strong Aramid winding to keep the pressure distribution constant in different driving conditions and at different speeds.</p>

<p>Finally, the tread design features a massive outer shoulder which has been designed to optimize transmission of all lateral forces and facilitate extreme cornering stability.</p>]]></description><category><![CDATA[LATEST NEWS,Goodyear,IMAGES and VIDEOS,PRODUCTS and SERVICES,Car and Van,UUHP]]></category>

Attendees of the motor show will be able to witness the Goodyear Eagle F1 SuperSport, Eagle F1 SuperSport R and Eagle F1 SuperSport RS.</p>

<p>The tires deploy innovative technologies and compounds that enable significant improvements to braking distances and lap times without neglecting more intangible elements of the driving experience, such as feedback during turn-in, under braking and approaching breakaway.</p>

<p><strong>The Goodyear SuperSport range</strong></p><p><strong><img alt="" src="//content.presspage.com/uploads/2368/500_eaglef1supersport-305-30zr20103y-view3-4gyontop-rev-103057.jpg?x=1551510993977" style="width: 280.995px; height: 326.979px; margin: 5px; float: left;" /></strong></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>The Eagle F1 SuperSport</strong>&nbsp;draws on Goodyear&rsquo;s racing experience to provide superior grip and handling. Responsive directional changes are ensured through the stiff tread ribs while a massive closed outside pattern, used on the tire&rsquo;s shoulder, provides control during load transfers in corners. A super-stiff sidewall design further improves handling without unduly compromising ride comfort. Although primarily developed for dry conditions, Goodyear has innovatively addressed wet performance through the deployment of a multi-compound combination that sees dry-optimized outer sections paired with three wet-optimized central segments. This enables drivers to safely push harder through corners on dry roads while still enjoying an exceptional wet braking and wet handling performance.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong><img alt="" src="//content.presspage.com/uploads/2368/500_eaglef1supersportr-tireshots3-4viewonly-original-92718-916570.jpg?x=1551511046798" style="width: 280px; height: 400px; margin: 5px; float: right;" /></strong></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>The Eagle F1 SuperSport R</strong>&nbsp;further increases grip levels and steering precision on and off track. Grip levels are enhanced through use of a high-friction compound that provides exceptional dry grip levels, while excellent cornering stability is ensured by bridges in the tread pattern&rsquo;s inner groove reducing deformation of tread blocks under extreme cornering forces. Steering precision and feedback have also been further enhanced by optimizing the tire&rsquo;s footprint for more consistent pressure distribution.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><img alt="" src="//content.presspage.com/uploads/2368/500_eaglef1supersportrs-265-35zr20-3-4view-gyontop-885370.jpg?x=1551511586384" style="width: 296px; height: 400px; margin: 5px; float: left;" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>The Eagle F1 SuperSport RS</strong>&nbsp;is Goodyear&rsquo;s most race-focused tire, designed to push the limit on track while remaining road legal.
