Press release available only in original language. 

Brussels, 18 September 2018 – Audi revealed its e-tron earlier today, which is the first fully electric #suv to be commercialized by the German car manufacturer. #Goodyear has supplied this groundbreaking model with its #eaglef1asymmetric3suv tires in 265/45R21 #suv size.

The tires fitted to the Audi e-tron meet the German manufacturer’s demanding mileage requirements. As electric vehicles operate with higher torque compared to cars with a combustion engine, #tire wear is up to 25% higher but thanks to technically advanced construction, the #Goodyear #eaglef1asymmetric3suv is able to address these challenges.

The #eaglef1asymmetric3suv is known for its optimized braking and handling performance in all conditions and its Active Braking Technology shortens braking distance by 1.2 meters on both dry and wet roads. [1] Its SUV-Optimized Construction Technology improves handling at higher speeds, improves cornering stiffness and decreases tread wear. These features are combined with a UHP Cool Cushion Layer, a technology that improves handling while reducing rolling resistance.
