WEC: Goodyear to remain LMGT3 tyre supplier through 2029

FIA news The tender evaluation considered a range of criteria, including tyre performance across varying track and weather conditions, safety, sustainability, cost, the manufacturer's experience in supplying tyres for LMGT3 competition, and the level of technical and operational support provided to teams. The refreshed range will continue Goodyear’s current single-specification philosophy, with one Goodyear Racing Eagle Medium slick and one wet-weather tyre developed around three key priorities: instant confidence, a wide operating window and an enhanced range of sustainable materials. Both the slick and wet compounds will contain 66% sustainable materials, making them the tyres with the highest sustainable content in top-level endurance racing and establishing Goodyear as a global leader in sustainable motorsport tyre technology. The new compounds combine recycled and bio-based materials, including recycled steel, rice husk silica, recycled zinc oxide, and ISCC-certified polymers and carbon black, with bio-based processing aids and sustainable natural rubber. The tyres will also debut newly designed Eagle-branded sidewalls, bringing Goodyear’s unmistakable Eagle performance identity even more prominently to the track. Goodyear has enjoyed three triumphant seasons since the LMGT3 category was introduced in 2024, with its current Goodyear Racing Eagle products becoming renowned for their performance, consistency and broad operating window across changing conditions.
