Following a joint tender process conducted by the Fédération Internationale de l’Automobile (FIA) and the Automobile Club de l’Ouest (ACO), Goodyear has been selected to remain the exclusive tire supplier to the FIA World Endurance Championship‘s LMGT3 class for the 2027, 2028 and 2029 seasons.
The tender evaluation considered a range of criteria, including tire performance across varying track and weather conditions, safety, sustainability, cost, the manufacturer’s experience in supplying tires 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 tire 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, which will make them the tires with the highest sustainable content in top-level endurance racing.
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 tires will also debut new Eagle-branded sidewalls, bringing Goodyear’s Eagle performance identity more prominently to the track.
