Description

The tyre with improved grip and shorter braking distances on wet roads

  • A-rated* wet grip
  • Shorter braking distances for driving confidence
  • Improved wet braking and lower rolling resistance
  • Lower fuel consumption

Electric Vehicle (EV) ready

All new and current Goodyear tires are optimized to provide exceptional performance for electric and internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles, as evidenced by the new Goodyear EV-Ready logo that has been introduced on the sidewall of all new replacement tires starting in early 2024.

Goodyear has developed a toolkit of technologies to suit both EVs and other powertrains including:

  • SoundComfort Technology: Drivers become more aware of noise created by tires and roads interaction as the most noticeable change in EV’s is just how quiet the car is. To ensure the EV journey stays as quiet as possible, SoundComfort technology has the potential to reduce interior noise up to 50%.
  • Mileage Plus Technology: As EV’s are heavier than traditional vehicles, there can be more wear on electric car tires. Combined with instant torque this can cause standard tires to wear more quickly, also depending on the driving behaviour. Using technologies such as the Mileage Plus Technology, the Goodyear EfficientGrip Performance 2, for example, can give drivers up to 50% more mileage than its predecessor.
  • Rolling Resistance Technologies: Goodyear’s Low Rolling Resistance technologies contribute to reducing energy consumption and extending the driving range. Extending the driving range can be achieved by optimizing the tire structure, in combination with developing innovative compounds and aerodynamically tuning the sidewall design    
Benefits
EFFICIENTGRIP PERFORMANCE - Summer Tire - 205/55/R16/91V
* Compared to the average performance of four leading competitors. Tested by TÜV SÜD Automotive in September 2012 by order of Goodyear. Tyre Size: 205/55 R16 91V; Test Car: VW Golf; Test Locations: Mireval (FR), Papenburg (D) and Garching (D); Report No. 76249743
Shorter braking distances for driving confidence
ActiveBraking Technology increases contact between the tire and the road surface for shorter braking distances – up to two metres (8%) shorter on wet roads* and 3% shorter in the dry*.
Lower fuel consumption
We use FuelSaving Technology to create a new base compound that reduces the tire's energy dissipation. Rolling resistance is reduced by 18%* meaning improved fuel efficiency and lower driving costs for you.
Improved wet braking and lower rolling resistance
WearControl Technology ensures an optimal balance between wet grip and low rolling resistance for the life of the tyre.
A-rated wet grip
Rated A for wet grip performance, the highest rating awarded under EU regulations.

EU Tyre Label

A
Fuel efficiency
Fuel efficiency is a measure of the tyre's rolling resistance. A tyre with low rolling resistance is fuel efficient because it requires less energy to roll. Fuel efficiency is rated from A (highest rating) to E (lowest rating).
C
Wet grip
Wet grip measures the braking ability of the tyre on wet surfaces. Wet grip is rated from A (shortest stopping distance) to E (longest stopping distance).
B
Exterior noise
Measures the tyre's noise level outside the vehicle in decibels. The noise class is rated from A (quiet) to C (loud).
