At Goodyear, we frequently refer to independent testing bodies, magazines and auto clubs. We do this because our own engineers put Goodyear tyres through a rigorous 360° Quality Test approach, so we are always confident our tyres will perform well in independent tests too.
In fact, only recently we discovered Goodyear has won more all-season tyre tests than any other brand*.
Independent tyre testing bodies will test tyres for an average of 15 key performance criteria, typically including:
This influential car magazine specialises in providing readers with unbiased reviews on cars and aftermarket products, including annual summer, winter and all-season tyre tests.
