Brussels (ots/PRNewswire) -

Goodyear ultra-high performing tires are chosen for Audi's first
ever electric SUV

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 Eagle F1 Asymmetric 3 SUV is able to address these
challenges.

The Eagle F1 Asymmetric 3 SUV is known for its optimized braking
and handling performance in all conditions and its Active Braking
Technology shortens braking distance by 1.2 meters[1] on both dry and
wet roads. 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.

Last but not least, the tires fitted on the Audi e-tron use
Goodyear's SoundComfort Technology, which effectively reduces the
interior car noise by half (up to 4dB). A perfect fit for electric
vehicles as tire and road noises are the dominant interior sounds in
most EVs.

Audi e-tron

Audi is officially launching its Audi e-tron today in San
Francisco. Manufactured in Brussels, this revolutionary Audi is the
first fully electric SUV from the traditional German car maker on the
market. Thanks to its three electric motors, the e-tron accelerates
from 0-62mph in 4.6 seconds. Depending on the driving style and
conditions, the e-tron offers a range of up to 310 miles.
